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 Cypress Grove Rehabilitation Center

Cypress Grove Rehabilitation Center is a nursing home in Newburgh, Indiana. Downtown Newburgh is close. So errands and trips out are simple. Deaconess Gateway Hospital is about two miles away. That matters if someone needs fast medical help. The Walk Score for this area is 56. That means you can walk to some places nearby.

The building has one floor. It has been open for 27 years. There are 90 beds in total. Right now, 80 of those beds have residents in them. That means the home is 89% full. Some people stay here for a short time. They come for rehab after surgery or an injury. Other people stay much longer. They need ongoing nursing care. Most new residents pay for their stay themselves. This is called private pay, and it covers 40% of new residents. Those stays usually last three to four months.

Nurses give most of the daily care. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides all work here. Together, they give each resident just over three hours of nursing care every day. Staff also help with therapy, activities, social work, and meals. So care is not just medical. Families can pay with Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay.

State inspectors check on a few key things at Cypress Grove. They look at how medicine is given. They check for clean, safe conditions that stop infections. They also check fire safety, emergency plans, and how staff write down care details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Indiana

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Indiana?

Assisted living in Indiana supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover memory care?

Indiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Indiana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
