Braun Nursing Home, established in 1957 and operated by Envive Of River City LLC, has 71 beds for nursing home residents. Located at 909 North First Avenue in Evansville’s Jacobsville neighborhood, it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay admissions. Current occupancy stands at 38.8% (27 residents), notably below the state average of 69.4%, with average resident stays of 116 days.
A walk score of 67 places it in a moderately walkable area, 1.2 miles from downtown.
The facility carries a 1-star overall CMS rating, 66.8% below Indiana’s benchmark; the state’s lowest tier. Health inspection ratings score 2 stars, 26.7% below state average. Staffing ratings earn 1 star, 60.8% below state average, with total nursing hours of 2 hours 50 minutes per resident daily.
However, the facility has avoided federal penalties and payment denials over three years; 28 deficiencies documented across four inspections with zero critical or serious citations.
Walking ability declines in 37.6% of residents; 162% worse than peers. Falls with major injury affect 12.4%—220% above the state rate. Depressive symptoms manifest in 60.9%; 153% worse than Indiana average. Functional decline scores 28.9 (69% worse than peers), and high-risk clinical events score 16.7 (109% above state norm).
October 2024 routine inspection identified elopement safety failures: two residents left independently without proper guardianship or physician notification; one resident with court-appointed guardianship due to schizophrenia left the facility on four documented occasions without communicating with her guardian. Fall prevention interventions were documented in care plans but not physically implemented; non-slip bathroom strips required by documented fall assessments were absent. December 2024 complaint investigation corroborated medication protocol failures: lisinopril administered without obtaining required blood pressure checks; fall interventions documented in plans but not executed; shift-by-shift care plan updates lacking for incident response.
The facility reported an $825,000 operating loss with -24.5% profit margin. Contractor staff comprise 74% of the workforce.
Braun Nursing Home serves primarily long-term Medicaid residents at critically low occupancy, with severe documented clinical outcome deficiencies and recent inspection findings indicating failures in medication safety, fall prevention execution, elopement supervision, and care plan implementation.
