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.

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.
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.

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. The Evansville location scores 30 on walkability, indicating an average walkable setting where some nearby services may be accessible on foot, but most trips require a vehicle. 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.
Westminster Village Kentuckiana is a 244-bed multi-level care community in Clarksville, Indiana, offering independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Seacoast of Clarksville LLC operates the facility, and it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The facility’s inspection record is below average. It has recorded 59 total deficiencies across available inspections, 64% above the Indiana average of 36, with a composite inspection score of 61 out of 100, a D- grade.
No fines, Immediate Jeopardy findings, or license actions appear in the record. The most significant recent citation from a January 2025 complaint investigation identified deficiencies in medication delivery, rodents in the kitchen and resident rooms, and fall-hazard signage. Corrective actions were submitted. Subsequent standard surveys in early and mid-2025 found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies cited.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 24 minutes per resident per day, modestly below Indiana’s average of 3 hours and 32 minutes. The facility’s occupancy rate is 56%, well below the Indiana average of 68%, indicating current availability across care levels.
The community offers in-house therapy, memory care programming, respite care, and 24-hour staffing. On-site salon services and landscaped grounds are among the lifestyle amenities. The starting price is $1,100 per month, positioning it among the more affordable options in Clark County.
Westminster Village Kentuckiana is best suited for residents seeking continuity of care across levels, including post-acute rehabilitation and memory care, within a more affordable skilled nursing setting in Clarksville.
Columbia Healthcare Center sits on West Columbia Street in Evansville, Indiana’s Jacobsville neighborhood, about a mile from the city center. The facility is operated by Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County. Andrea Beran is the administrator; Cindy Bartels is Director of Nursing. At 27 years in operation, the center has a long enough history in the community to have developed a consistent care model.
The facility has 171 beds and is currently at 68% occupancy. The average length of stay is 117 days, which reflects a population that includes both short-term rehabilitation residents and longer-stay residents receiving ongoing care. The care mix is broad: nursing home care, memory care, hospice, palliative care, and respite services are all offered under one roof. That range is practically useful for families anticipating care transitions.
Total nursing hours run 2 hours and 33 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses and licensed practical nurses each contributing 27 minutes of that time. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and respiratory therapy are staffed on-site. A Resident Council is active. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Inspections by the Indiana Department of Health, Division of Long Term Care have historically centered on medication management, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention. The Walk Score is 64, placing the surrounding area in moderately walkable territory for visitors and staff.
For families looking at a large, long-established nursing facility in Evansville with a wide care spectrum and all three major payment pathways, Columbia Healthcare Center covers those bases, though the staffing figures and inspection focus areas are worth reviewing alongside the facility’s overall profile.
Woodmont Health Campus sits in Boonville, Indiana, and it’s doing a lot under one roof. Nursing home care, skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, adult day services, respite care. That means a family doesn’t have to move someone across town when their needs shift from “needs a little help” to “needs a lot of help.”
The building itself is single-story, which matters more than people think when someone’s using a walker. It’s been running for 25 years, has 99 beds, and right now about 54 of them are filled, putting occupancy around 55%. Housing comes in a studio setup. Nursing coverage breaks down to roughly three hours of total nursing care per resident per day, spread across RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides, and staffing runs 24 hours. There’s also short-term rehab on-site, which is the kind of thing that matters a lot if someone’s coming out of a hospital stay and needs to rebuild strength before going home.
On the lifestyle side, there’s a salon, a bistro, a private dining room, a resident garden, and onsite laundry. Small stuff, but it adds up to daily life feeling less like an institution. Just know that the area itself is car-dependent (Walk Score of 19), so this isn’t a “stroll to the coffee shop” kind of neighborhood.
Payment-wise, Woodmont takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which covers most people’s situations. And on the regulatory side, inspections here have centered on infection control and emergency preparedness, which are two of the most commonly reviewed areas in nursing home oversight nationally. This is a full-spectrum care campus with a quarter-century track record, built for residents whose needs might change rather than stay fixed.

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 283 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.
