Hubbard Hill Estates is a 280-bed nonprofit skilled nursing and residential community at 28070 CR 24 in Elkhart, Indiana. Operating as a voluntary nonprofit since 1977, the campus is administered by Anne Knouse and holds CMS certification (CCN 155754). The community serves Elkhart County with a multi-level care model including independent living, assisted living, memory care through the Living Wisdom Center, and short-term rehabilitation.
The facility provides licensed medical care under federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, primarily focusing on high-acuity rehabilitation and recovery. CMS awards the nursing center a full 5-star overall rating, ranking it 22nd out of 267 Indiana nursing homes, supported by maximum 5-star sub-ratings for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Current 2026 filings show that the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on the March 2025 complaint investigation. Occupancy for the nursing portion is approximately 86%, with 57 of 66 certified beds currently filled.
Direct bedside support is provided 24/7 by a nursing team with total care hours reaching 4 hours and 44 minutes per resident per day, which is 34% above state norms. Registered Nurse (RN) coverage is particularly robust at 1 hour and 21 minutes daily, more than double the Indiana average. Physical therapist hours run 275% above the Indiana average, supporting a short-stay discharge-to-community rate that is 19% better than the state mean. The Living Wisdom Center provides specialized memory care through private apartments and a residential living model tailored for those with cognitive decline. Clinical stability is a hallmark of the program, with long-stay hospitalizations running 43% better than state averages.
The campus offers residential floor plans ranging from private suites in the Living Wisdom Center to independent retirement cottages. All-inclusive monthly services cover three dietitian-approved meals daily, housekeeping, and personal laundry.
Shared spaces include a library, a beauty salon, the Founder’s Chapel for spiritual services, and communal lounges with fireplaces. The social calendar features an “Intergenerational Experience” program, arts and crafts, and local community outings. For off-site medical appointments, the facility provides scheduled transportation to ensure residents remain connected to the Elkhart area.
Prospective residents seeking high-performing short-term rehabilitation or a specialized memory care environment with robust nursing ratios and a BBB A+ rating may find this setting appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the administrator directly to discuss current availability for the various care levels and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance firsthand.
