Aperion Care Hanover is a skilled nursing facility in Hanover, Indiana, offering 137 beds across a combination of skilled nursing and residential units. The home is legally operated by Daviess County Hospital and administered by Jay Nowlin, with Dawn Meacham serving as medical director and Marcia Pyles as director of nursing. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.
The community is relatively new to the area, with one year in operation so far, and currently runs at about 58 percent occupancy. Its Hanover location scores 55 out of 100 for walkability, meaning some errands can be handled on foot while most trips will call for a car. Daily nursing support is a consistent presence here, with total nursing care averaging roughly 3 hours and 5 minutes per resident each day.
Clinically, the facility is built around rehabilitation and specialized nursing care. Programs include orthopedic and post-stroke rehabilitation, cardiac rehab, pain management, and diabetes management, alongside more intensive support such as IV and infusion therapy, feeding tube care, and tracheostomy management. Psychiatric rehabilitation and dementia care are also part of the clinical offering, along with hospice and palliative services for residents who need that level of support. Around the clock, 24-hour staffing rounds out the day-to-day care model.
State inspections here have mostly centered on building and life-safety items, such as exit access, fire safety systems, and emergency preparedness planning, with periods of full compliance noted in that category as well. Separate complaint reviews have touched on areas like resident dignity and care plan documentation, and most of those complaints were either unsubstantiated or corrected on follow-up.
Aperion Care Hanover is legally operated by Daviess County Hospital, and administered by Jay Nowlin.
