Nestled within West Lafayette, Indiana, Westminster Village is a vibrant and dynamic Life Plan Community, embodying a spirit of vitality and forward-thinking senior living solutions. With strong ties to Purdue University from its founding, this community has deep roots and a rich history. Initially established in 1976 and 1977 by Presbyterian Housing Program, Inc., Westminster Village welcomed residents to three apartment buildings, offering approximately 225 Independent Living apartments and a Health Center equipped with 38 beds.
In 2015, The Terraces introduced an innovative concept known as hybrid homes, featuring 18 residences within each building. Westminster Village also prides itself on its cutting-edge Live Well Fitness & Rehab Center, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to overall well-being. Conveniently situated just two miles from Purdue University, Westminster Village is the preferred choice for Tippecanoe County seniors seeking a fulfilling lifestyle. At its core, the community thrives due to a dedicated team—individuals driven by compassion, creativity, and a commitment to fostering a nurturing and supportive atmosphere for all residents. Their unwavering dedication continually enhances the lives of seniors within Westminster Village.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 7th out of 287 homes in Indiana for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 58m per day | ▲ 45% 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.
| 36m per day | ▼ 22% 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.
| 3h 49m per day | ▲ 68% 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.
| 5h 19m per day | ▲ 64% 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.
| 7m per day | ▲ 75% 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.
| 51m per day | ▲ 89% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
