CMS Star Ratings

Overall rating
★★★★☆
CMS’s composite of the three ratings below. Indiana average: 3.1 stars.
Health inspection
★★★★☆
Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.
Staffing
★★★★☆
Nurse and aide hours per resident per day, adjusted for how much care residents need, plus staff turnover.
Quality measures
★★★☆☆
Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Indiana Veterans Home holds a 4-star overall rating, in the top tier CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 64% is well above the Indiana average of 46%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
Rating trajectory: overall rating improved from 3 stars (July 2026) to 4 stars (August 2026) across 2 monthly CMS releases tracked by ClearPath.
