Administered by Ashley Blackmon, The Waters of Middletown Skilled Nursing Facility is a newly established skilled nursing community on Beechwood Avenue in Middletown, Indiana. It offers short-term rehabilitation and longer-term skilled nursing care. Part of Johnson Memorial Hospital, the facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, giving families flexibility in coverage options. The 60-bed community currently operates at about 35 percent occupancy, meaning more availability and individualized attention as it builds its resident population. The facility is tailored to support older adults healing from hospitalization, surgery, or acute illness. Residents stay 103 days on average, reflecting the mix of shorter-term rehab stays and those requiring extended skilled care.
Daily nursing care averages 3 hours 9 minutes per resident, delivered by a team of registered nurses, nurse aides, and LPN/LVNs. That staffing level supports 24-hour on-site care and allows the facility to manage complex medical needs. Alongside general rehabilitation and respite care, the community offers specialized programs in wound care, respiratory services, IV therapy, pain management, and in-house diagnostics. Memory care services through the Memory Springs program exist for occupants with cognitive decline. Daily life includes on-site medical and support services: dental, podiatry, and audiology are accessible without outside referrals. Dining is overseen by a registered dietitian who designs balanced menus considering resident preferences and nutritional needs. A secure outdoor patio, beauty and barber shop, and activity programming round out the day. With a Walk Score of 49, the location is somewhat walkable, meaning some errands are reachable on foot, though most trips by family and visitors involve a quick drive.
For families contemplating skilled nursing options, The Waters of Middletown Skilled Nursing Facility offers newer facilities with full-range on-site medical and therapeutic services in a building still in its early operation phase.
The Waters of Middletown Skilled Nursing Facility is legally operated by Johnson Memorial Hospital, and administered by Ashley Blackmon.
