Heritage Assisted Living of Union City is a 52-bed for-profit assisted living and memory care community at 204 Staudt Drive in Union City, Indiana. Licensed in January 2024 and operated by AHP Union City AL, LLC, the facility is administered by Nicole Fenton, with Margaret Mote serving as Director of Nursing. The community serves eastern Indiana with services including assisted living, respite care, and short-term rehabilitation.
The community operates under a state-licensed residential model providing 24-hour medical oversight and localized healthcare coordination. While the facility does not hold federal CMS star ratings, current 2026 filings show that the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent standard health and safety surveys. Occupancy is approximately 56%, with 29 of 52 beds currently filled, reflecting a building census typical of a newly established facility. For eligible residents, the facility accepts Medicaid and features a moderately walkable location with a Walk Score of 67.
Direct support is provided 24/7 by a professional team of licensed nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). The clinical model focuses on personalized care plans, though regulatory records indicate recurring themes in medication documentation and service plan signatures that have led to leadership changes and system updates. To ensure safety, the facility coordinates specialized memory care and rehabilitative services, with all suites equipped for 24-hour monitoring and rapid staff response. Clinical oversight was reinforced following the termination of previous leadership in late 2024 to address staff qualification and medication administration protocols.
The facility features private and semi-private residential floor plans designed for safety and ease of navigation. All-inclusive monthly services cover three daily meals, housekeeping, and personal laundry.
Shared community spaces include communal dining areas and social lounges designed to foster resident engagement. The social calendar is managed by on-site staff and includes recreational programming, wellness activities, and community outings. For medical appointments and local errands, the facility provides scheduled transportation to ensure continued access to the Union City area.
Those seeking a newly established residential option with Medicaid-eligible placement in eastern Indiana may find this environment appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the administrator directly to discuss current medication management protocols and staff certification practices to assess the 2026 quality performance firsthand.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on June 26, 2025, cited a deficiency related to medication administration documentation, which led to a resident receiving duplicate doses of a controlled pain medication. Earlier inspections showed a mix of deficiencies including staffing issues, unsigned service plans, use of unpasteurized eggs, incomplete TB testing, and medication administration by unqualified personnel, with one substantiated complaint resulting in termination of the Director of Nursing. The main themes across reports involved medication management and documentation, resident service plan signatures, and staff qualifications. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, except for those involving medication errors and staff certification, which were substantiated and addressed. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges in medication administration and documentation, with some corrective actions taken but no clear pattern of consistent improvement.
