Overview of Scenic Hills at the Monastery

Scenic Hills at the Monastery is a 129-bed skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care community in Ferdinand, Dubois County, Indiana, set on the grounds of the Monastery of the Immaculate Conception. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. The community serves residents across skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, respite, and rehabilitation.

The inspection record reflects a facility performing close to state average on compliance while standing clearly above it on health inspection and quality measures ratings. Over four years on file, the facility averaged 5 deficiencies annually, only modestly above Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. Substantiated complaint findings have centered on fall follow-up and infection control practices rather than abuse or serious harm events. The facility holds a 4-star CMS overall rating, with a health inspection sub-rating 46.5 percent above Indiana’s average and Quality Measures 23.5 percent above state benchmark. Staffing differs with those strengths: the CMS staffing sub-rating reflects case-mix adjusted hours 60.8 percent below state average, placing it at 1 star on that dimension alone. Occupancy on the 88 certified SNF beds has trended toward full capacity in recent surveys.

Amenities include a bistro, fitness center, salon, and private dining room, alongside an on-site pharmacy and lab. The monastery campus setting provides scenic grounds and views differentiating the community from typical urban SNFs.

The community fits older adults in Dubois County seeking skilled nursing, memory care, or assisted living in a campus setting anchored by the Benedictine monastery grounds.
