Overview of River Bend Nursing and Rehabilitation

River Bend Nursing and Rehabilitation is a 113-bed skilled nursing facility on Stocker Drive in Evansville, Indiana. Run by Adams County Memorial Hospital and managed by administrator Eric Ross, the building has a 58 percent occupancy rate. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. Residents stay an average of 131 days, a timeframe that includes both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term care residents.

The daily care model provides residents with an average of 3 hours and 19 minutes of direct nursing care. This time includes 41 minutes from registered nurses, 36 minutes from licensed practical nurses, and 2 hours and 9 minutes from nurse aides. The facility provides respite care and post-hospital rehab, and the building layout features private suites, family visit rooms, common sitting areas, and outdoor spaces.

The car-dependent Evansville neighborhood means visitors and residents will need a vehicle to handle errands or travel around the local area. Families can reach out to the administrative staff to ask about insurance coverage details, verify open beds, review the on-site respite care and post-hospital rehab programs, or schedule a tour of the facility’s private suites and outdoor spaces.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 41m per day ▲ 5% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 36m per day ▼ 22% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 33m per day ▲ 22% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 29m per day
