Compass Park

800 Freemason Parkway, Franklin, IN 46131
Overview of Compass Park

Seven care types are gathered at Compass Park in Franklin, IN. There’s respite care, home care, hospice care, assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing. Independent living means a private household with the community’s services attached and no care schedule. Assisted living adds hands-on help with hygiene, dressing, and medication. Memory care is the locked-door level with staff supervising the resident, usually because of dementia of some sort.

Skilled nursing brings with it licensed nurses who are ready through the night. Hospice is care that’s about comfort once that’s all there is left to give. Home care is care delivered outside the community at a family’s home, arranged on a schedule. Respite is the opposite, for when someone can’t be taken care of at home for some span of time.

Seven levels at one address mean a resident here is not obliged to start over somewhere else when their needs increase. One hundred sixty-seven beds are licensed, and the staffing figure per resident is four hours and three minutes each day. Rehabilitation services are listed, and so are a Fitness Center and a Catering and Events program, covering therapy, exercise, and accommodation for hosted meals and gatherings.

A walk score of 80 means the community is in a very walkable neighborhood where most errands outside are doable on foot.

Johnson Memorial Hospital operates Compass Park, with William Pierce administering. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted for eligible care.

Overview of Kingston Care Center of Fort Wayne

Kingston Care Center of Fort Wayne offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Fort Wayne, IN. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps an apartment, while independent living offers private living without daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to another community. The community has 137 beds and 78% occupancy, meaning most beds are occupied while some are available. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several payment routes; Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while Medicaid can help cover a long stay when savings do not cover it.

Total nurse staffing is 3h 39m per resident per day, representing the amount of nurse staffing assigned to each resident across a day. Short term stays, respite care, rehabilitation services, and short term rehabilitation support temporary stays for recovery or for a family caregiver who needs time away. Pets are allowed. Alicia Holifield serves as administrator, while Pulaski Memorial Hospital operates the community.

North River Health Campus

811 E Baseline Rd, Evansville, IN 47725
Overview of North River Health Campus

North River Health Campus sits at 811 E Baseline Rd in Evansville, Indiana, and it’s really five kinds of care under one address. The campus covers nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, independent living, and adult day care, all operated by the Trilogy Health Services group. Getting there means driving. The Walk Score is 11, so this is car territory, not a stroll-to-the-corner-store kind of block.

The campus is young. It’s been open a year, and only 48 of its 95 beds are occupied so far, putting occupancy at 51 percent. Residents stay an average of 76 days, which is short. Short enough that this reads less like a permanent-placement facility and more like a stop on the way somewhere else: rehab, recovery, a bridge back home.

Here’s what the staffing actually looks like, broken down by role. Registered nurses spend about 1 hour and 35 minutes per resident each day. Licensed practical nurses add 29 minutes on top of that. Nurse aides contribute another 1 hour and 45 minutes. Total that up and residents are getting roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes of nursing care daily. On the financial side, North River takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so the door isn’t closed based on how someone’s covered.

Day to day life includes support with basic living activities, access to a library, and private dining rooms rather than one shared cafeteria. That last part matters more than it sounds like it should. Because the campus holds assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing together, residents can move between levels of care as their needs change, instead of packing up and starting over somewhere new.

State inspectors, when they’ve come through, have focused where you’d expect: medication management, infection control, fire safety, and documentation around care planning. Food service, emergency preparedness, and general environmental safety round out what gets checked.

What all of this adds up to is a facility that’s still early, still filling its beds, but already set up with the staffing and payment range to handle a short post-hospital stay just as well as ongoing, long-term nursing care.

Overview of Hubbard Hill Estates

Hubbard Hill Estates offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Elkhart, Indiana. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, and the range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without leaving the community.

Respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Short term rehabilitation supports a temporary, recovery focused stay.

Hubbard Hill Estates has 280 beds, accommodating more residents and staff and usually supporting more programming than a smaller community. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 31 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Rehabilitation and Healthcare and the Intergenerational Experience are named programs at the community, and pets are allowed, so a resident may continue living with a pet. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, and Anne Knouse serves as the administrator.

Marquette Senior Living

8140 Township Line Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46260
Overview of Marquette Senior Living

Marquette Senior Living has been running in Indianapolis for 47 years now, and it’s not just one type of care, it spans independent living, assisted living, memory care, and long-term nursing all on the same campus. It’s a mid-rise, 134-bed. Walk Score comes in at 22, car-dependent; this is a neighborhood where you’re driving for pretty much everything.

Occupancy sits at 93% right now, 124 of the 134 beds filled, and the average stay runs about 97 days. Rehabilitation services and respite care are both available, backed by staffing that runs around the clock. Here’s the number that actually matters for comparison purposes: total nursing care comes out to 4 hours and 41 minutes per resident, per day. On-site healthcare runs through the Lynne O’Day Clinic, so residents aren’t leaving campus for basic medical support.

Physically, there’s a fitness center, courtyards, landscaped gardens, and a handful of dining options. The aquatic center alone is 14,000 square feet, which is a genuinely sizable amenity for a senior living campus, and the Marquette Athletic Center adds another dedicated fitness space on top of that.

On oversight: inspections here have tended to center on medication management, fire safety systems, emergency preparedness, environmental safety, and care planning documentation. Those are the standard areas regulators look at across nursing homes, not unique to this one.

Medicare and private pay are both accepted. What Marquette adds up to is a genuine continuum-of-care campus with nearly five decades behind it, high occupancy, and nursing hours that hold up well, the kind of place built for a family that wants room to move between care levels without starting over somewhere new each time.

Overview of Saint Anne Home and Retirement Community

Saint Anne Home and Retirement Community sits at 1900 Randallia Dr in Fort Wayne, Indiana, operated by Adams County Memorial Hospital. It is a large campus: 278 licensed beds, part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and one of the larger nursing facilities in the state. The organization has been serving the Fort Wayne South Bend diocese for over 55 years.

Practically speaking, the campus is immediately adjacent to Parkview Hospital Randallia; only 0.09 miles away, which is a meaningful detail for a facility offering skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 55, so some errands are walkable.

Occupancy sits at 40%, with 118 residents across 278 beds. The average length of stay is 92 days. Private pay accounts for 75% of new admissions at typical stays around two months, while Medicaid represents 11% of admissions with stays in the 11 to 12 month range. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

Specialized tracks cover neuropathy, fractures, post-orthopedic surgeries, edema management, and cardiopulmonary conditions. Therapy staff includes speech language pathologists, physical therapists and assistants, physical therapy aides, occupational therapy aides and assistants, and respiratory therapy technicians. Memory support is offered alongside skilled nursing and independent living within the CCRC model.

A state-approved Nurse Aide Training Program is active on-site. On the nursing side, 38 minutes of RN time and 1 hour of LPN/LVN time per resident per day are reported, with a total of 4 hours 27 minutes of daily nursing coverage per resident.

The campus includes a courtyard, walking trails, a beauty and barber shop, gym-quality fitness equipment, and on-site pastoral care with daily Catholic mass. The Original Style Villa is a named housing option. A Resident Council meets regularly.

State inspections have included themes of fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, staffing and staff credentials, resident rights and protections, and fall and injury prevention.

Saint Anne is a large, long-established CCRC in Fort Wayne with a clinical focus on specialized rehabilitation, memory care, and 24-hour skilled nursing, positioned directly next to a hospital and accepting all three major payer types; a footprint suited to families managing complex care transitions or looking for a single community that can carry a resident across multiple care levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

How do I choose the right independent living community in Indiana?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Indiana, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting independent living communities in Indiana?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered.
