Is Woodland Manor a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the Indiana average of 3.2. Inspectors issued 48 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 3 penalties, including $114,339 in fines, in that time.

Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 3.56 hours per resident per day at Woodland Manor, about the same as the Indiana median of 3.60 (US median: 3.72). About 0.37 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 3.20 hours, 10% below its all-week average. 70.3% of nursing staff left within a year (Indiana median 45.5%). High turnover can mean residents see unfamiliar caregivers; ask how long the nurses on the unit have worked there.

Paying for care at Woodland Manor: Medicare and Medicaid

Woodland Manor is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Indiana's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
