Overview of The Milton Home

The Milton Home is a 62-bed nursing facility located at 206 E Marion Street in South Bend, Indiana, overlooking the St. Joseph River. Operated under Pulaski Memorial Hospital and led by administrator Hemmington Mwanza and Nursing Director Andrea Budzien, the community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options.

The clinical staffing structure delivers an average of 5 hours of total daily nursing care per resident, which includes 54 minutes from registered nurses, 54 minutes from licensed nurses, and 2 hours and 27 minutes from certified nursing assistants. This team supports the facility’s skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, and respite care programs, with medical oversight provided by an on-staff physician. On-site amenities consist of a beauty salon, a resident library, flat-screen televisions, Wi-Fi, housekeeping, and laundry services.

The dining program focuses on fresh ingredients, and daily activities include exercise classes, gardening, arts, and community outings. Because the neighborhood carries a walkability score of 81 out of 100, the local area is highly accessible on foot. State records indicate that the facility’s citations-per-inspection rate is zero. Interested individuals can reach out to the admissions department to check on current room openings, discuss specific dietary plans, or schedule a tour of the riverside campus.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +67% above state avg
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. 54m per day ▲ 34% State avg: 40m 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. 1h 17m per day ▲ 67% State avg: 46m 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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 27m per day ▲ 8% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 48m per day ▲ 17% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

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. 35m per day ▲ 31% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 29m per day
