Our editorial team analyzed 289 nursing homes in IN using CMS data, inspection records, complaints, amenities, and facility-level details. How we rank nursing homes in IN
Info below is compiled from CMS reports & the IN Dept. of Health (IDOH), senior community websites & trusted data sources such as Walk Score & BBB.
Communities are listed from highest-ranked to lowest-ranked based on our methodology.

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.
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.
CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community):
A campus with multiple care levels so residents can age in place without moving.
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.
CMS Certification Number: the unique federal identifier for this skilled nursing provider.
Rank badges are statewide and care-type specific: each nursing home is ranked against every other IN nursing home we track that reports that metric, not just the 289 on this page. See how we rank facilities
Overview of Serenity Springs Senior Living at Jasonville
Cherish every moment at Serenity Springs Senior Living at Jasonville, an esteemed community in Jasonville, IN, offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation. A compassionate and well-trained team providing top-notch care tailored to their healthcare needs around the clock. The community has 60 specially designed and secure accommodations, ensuring residents are comfortable and safe.
Medicare and Medicaid are accepted to ease financial challenges. With a variety of fun activities and enriching programs, residents are encouraged to live actively and make new friends. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are also provided to enhance residents’ living experiences. Residents can keep their peace of mind in retirement, accompanied by the community’s nurturing and inviting environment.
Adult day care is an unusual thing to find attached to a nursing home, and The Springs of Mooresville in Mooresville, Indiana, carries it. Someone can spend the day here without staying overnight. Families often use that option as a first step, before making a decision about moving in full‑time.
For those who do live here, assisted living covers the everyday supports like help with dressing, bathing, and keeping up with medication. Skilled nursing adds licensed nurses on site at every hour. The license covers 89 beds, and at the last count 65 of them were filled. Needs can climb without a move elsewhere.
Rehabilitation services run for residents whose care includes therapy, and nursing time comes to 3 hours and 12 minutes per resident daily. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay all work as payment routes.
Amenities include a fitness center, a salon, a bistro, dining spaces, and a garden. The neighborhood earns a walk score of 70, which falls into the “very walkable” range. That means shops, a pharmacy, or a café stay within reach on foot for residents who no longer drive. Natalie Padgett serves as administrator, and Rhs Partners Of Mooresville operates the community.
Tucked in Bloomington, Indiana, Stonecroft Health Campus offers a lifestyle defined by spacious residences and the freedom of maintenance-free living. Here, personalized programs are crafted with precision, enriching the senior living experience in every way imaginable.

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.

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.
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.

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 289 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.
If you move into a community through us, that community may pay us a referral fee. This never changes your cost or which options we recommend. Learn more
