CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This TableAL (Assisted Living):
Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing.
NH (Nursing Home):
24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs.
SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility):
Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness.
MC (Memory Care):
Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
RC (Respite Care):
Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break.
IL (Independent Living):
Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care.
HOS (Hospice Care):
Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment.
ADC (Adult Day Care):
Daytime supervision, health monitoring, and social activities for seniors who live at home.
PC (Palliative Care):
Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Indiana average is: 51.1% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Owned by Ggnsc Evansville Brentwood LLC, Golden Living Center – Brentwood is a skilled nursing home on East Chandler Avenue in Evansville. It sits in a really walkable neighborhood with a Walk Score of 71, so most daily errands and nearby services are walkable. This can be convenient for visiting family members.
The home caters to 114 residents and has an 81 percent occupancy rate. Occupants stay 182 days on average, and they’re a mix of people healing from acute illness or surgery and those in longer-term nursing care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are welcome, offering families multiple pathways to fund short-term rehabilitation and ongoing care. Daily nursing care averages 3 hours 29 minutes per resident, anchored by registered nurses and nursing aides on staff. This level of attentive support underpins Golden Living Center – Brentwood’s approach to resident care.
For families thinking of choosing Golden Living Center – Brentwood, touring in person can provide a fuller sense of its daily rhythm, room options, and care approach.
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.
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.
River Pointe Health Campus offers nursing home, assisted living, respite care and skilled nursing in Evansville, IN. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living provides help with daily tasks in a private living space.

The combination may be a good fit for a resident whose care needs may change over time or a family seeking temporary support.
The community has 124 beds in an apartment-style setting, with studio and one-bedroom options. A studio provides a single private living space, while a one-bedroom apartment provides separate sleeping and living areas. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to keep a pet with them.
Total nurse staffing is 3h 51m per resident/day, representing daily hands-on nurse time allocated to each resident. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid and private pay. Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly.
A Walk Score of 52 is described as somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach some nearby destinations independently. Jordan Shots serves as administrator, and Good Samaritan Hospital operates the community.
North Park Nursing Center is tucked away on Fairway Drive in the Country Club Manor neighborhood of Evansville, Indiana, about 3 miles out from the city center. It’s been running for 27 years under the same operator, the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County, which gives it a pretty solid, established track record. The building has 103 beds and covers a wide range of services: nursing, hospice, memory care, palliative care, and respite stays.
Occupancy is currently sitting at 93%, so they’re nearly full. Residents stay for an average of 146 days, which means the place is a mix of people coming in for a focused rehabilitation stint and those settling in for the long haul. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 44, so you’ll definitely need a car or some form of transportation for errands; it’s not really a place where you can just walk to the store.
They provide 3 hours and 33 minutes of total nursing care per resident, per day. That breaks down to 39 minutes from registered nurses, 40 minutes from LPNs, and 2 hours and 30 minutes from nurse aides. They have physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy teams on-site, which is a great support system for both short-term recovery and longer-term needs. They also have an active Resident Council, which is a good, democratic way to make sure people living there have a voice. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
State inspections have historically focused on things like medication management, infection control, staffing credentials, and food service.

Administered by Stacy Burton, Park Terrace Village is a nursing home under owner David Hayes on Boehne Camp Road in Evansville, Indiana. Operated by the Health And Hospital Corporation of Marion County, it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to give families several ways to fund care costs. The home serves a mix of residents and tends to operate at a moderate occupancy rate of around 63 percent across its 96 beds.
Operating for 27 years, the community’s average stay is about 121 days, which reflects a blend of shorter-term rehabilitation and longer-term care occupants. Daily nursing support totals roughly 3 hours 11 minutes per resident, with a breakdown of 43 minutes of registered nurse time, 3 hours 11 minutes of nurse aide support, and 39 minutes from licensed practical or vocational nurses each day.

To reach the home and its surrounding area, visiting family members must plan for driving.
State inspections have raised repeating themes around medication management, infection control practices, respiratory care, food sanitation, and resident support during meals and daily routines. These are themes the Park Terrace Village continues to work on to fortify its operations.
