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.

Canterbury Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has operated at 2827 Northgate Blvd in Fort Wayne, Indiana for 27 years, under Health And Hospital Corporation Of Marion County. The 142-bed community sits in Allen County, about 5.9 miles out from the city center in a moderately walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 62) where some errands are manageable on foot.

Occupancy stands at 79%, with 115 residents currently on census across 142 beds. The average length of stay is 166 days; a figure that, alongside a mix of Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay admissions, reflects a population split between short-stay rehabilitation and longer-term care placements.

The clinical scope here goes beyond standard skilled nursing. Memory care is offered through separate dedicated neighborhoods for men and women. Hospice and respite care are available on-site.

Most distinctively, Canterbury runs a specialized pulmonary and ventilator care program, backed by on-site pulmonologist consultations, respiratory therapy technicians, and disease management services. Other therapy staff includes speech language pathologists, physical therapy aides and assistants, and occupational therapy aides and assistants. Nursing coverage is reported at 46 minutes of RN time per resident per day, 28 minutes of LPN/LVN time, and 2 hours 12 minutes of nurse aide time, totaling 3 hours 3 minutes of daily nursing care per resident. A state-approved Nurse Aide Training Program runs on-site as well.

On the day-to-day side, dining is restaurant-style, a beauty and barber shop and fitness center are available, and the community is pet-friendly. Weekly housekeeping and linen services are included. An active Resident Council meets regularly.

State inspections have tended to focus on fire-safety systems and emergency preparedness.

Canterbury is a long-established, multi-service nursing community in Fort Wayne with a clinical range that covers skilled nursing, memory care with gender-specific neighborhoods, hospice, respite, and a specialized pulmonary and ventilator program, which is a combination that makes it a practical option for families managing complex or respiratory-related care needs alongside more routine long-term placement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Indiana

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Indiana?

Assisted living in Indiana is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Indiana Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 278 nursing homes in Indiana. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
