Overview of Signature Healthcare of Muncie

Signature Healthcare of Muncie is a 140-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by LP Muncie Management LLC in Muncie, Indiana. Situated in Delaware County in north Muncie, the community offers skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite care. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Occupancy consistently runs at 86–100 percent which is well above Indiana’s 68.1 percent average.

The inspection record is the core decision factor. Over four years on file, the facility averaged 13.8 deficiencies annually, 229 percent above Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings or enforcement actions. Abuse-related deficiencies recur across multiple surveys: substantiated verbal abuse by staff was cited in September 2023 (two separate investigations involving multiple CNAs and residents), July 2024, and November 2024, with failures to timely report allegations to the state agency appearing in each instance. A July 2025 investigation substantiated failure to report a suspected drug diversion to regulatory agencies and found the facility’s internal investigation inadequate. An April 2024 complaint found the facility failed to transfer timely a resident with acute abdominal pain, resulting in a perforated bowel with sepsis and surgery. The facility holds a 2-star CMS overall rating driven by a health inspection score 63.4 percent below Indiana’s average. Quality measures stand apart at 23.5 percent above state average, the one area where the data consistently runs the opposite direction.

Restaurant-style dining, on-site podiatry services, a beauty shop, and a full-time chaplain are among the amenities.

The facility’s size and care mix suits it well for residents in Delaware County who seek long-term skilled nursing or post-acute care across multiple acuity levels.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +33% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) 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.	43m per day	▲ 8% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN 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.	43m per day	▼ 6% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 8m per day	▼ 6% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 4m per day	▼ 5% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	5m per day	▲ 33% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	21m per day	▼ 23% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
