RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
River Bend Nursing and Rehabilitation has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #476 out of 505 facilities in Indiana places it in the bottom half of the state, and it is ranked last in Vanderburgh County at #17 of 17. The facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 15 in 2023 to 23 in 2024. Staffing is a concern, with a below-average rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 61%, which is well above the state average of 47%. However, the facility has no fines on record, which is a positive aspect, and it offers good RN coverage, surpassing 76% of Indiana facilities. Specific incidents raised during inspections include a failure to ensure safe transportation for a resident, resulting in a fracture, and improper medication storage, with loose pills found in medication carts. Additionally, the facility did not provide necessary documentation related to hospital transfers for some residents, raising concerns about their care continuity. Overall, while there are some strengths, the significant issues identified suggest families should approach with caution.

How is River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation Staffed?
CMS rates RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes.

These included: 1 that caused actual resident harm, 44 with potential for harm, and 2 minor or isolated issues. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation?
RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by ADAMS COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 113 certified beds and approximately 62 residents (about 55% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in EVANSVILLE, Indiana.
How Does River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation Compare to Other Indiana Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Indiana, RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (61%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Indiana. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation Stick Around?
Staff turnover at RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION is high. At 61%, the facility is 15 percentage points above the Indiana average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation Ever Fined?
RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation on Any Federal Watch List?
RIVER BEND NURSING AND REHABILITATION is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
