RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
River Pointe Health Campus in Evansville, Indiana, has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not without issues. It ranks #180 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 17 in Vanderburgh County, meaning only one nearby option ranks higher. Unfortunately, the facility's performance is worsening, with the number of reported issues increasing from 6 in 2023 to 9 in 2024. Staffing is rated 4 out of 5 stars, but a 59% turnover rate is concerning, as it exceeds the state average, which could affect the quality of care. On the positive side, there have been no fines reported, indicating compliance with regulations. However, there are notable weaknesses; for instance, the facility failed to ensure proper storage of medications, with loose pills found in medication carts, and they lacked adequate documentation for vaccine education prior to administering flu shots. Additionally, a serious incident was reported where a resident fell and suffered a femur fracture due to insufficient fall prevention measures. While there are strengths, families should weigh these concerns carefully.

CMS rates RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS's staffing level at 4 out of 5 stars, which is above average compared to other nursing homes.

Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates River Pointe Health Campus?
RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS is owned by a non-profit organization. Non-profit facilities reinvest revenue into operations rather than distributing to shareholders. The facility is operated by TRILOGY HEALTH SERVICES, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 68 certified beds and approximately 54 residents (about 79% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in EVANSVILLE, Indiana.
How Does River Pointe Health Campus Compare to Other Indiana Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Indiana, RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS's overall rating (4 stars) is above the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (59%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting River Pointe Health Campus?
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 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?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is River Pointe Health Campus Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS 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 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 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 Pointe Health Campus Stick Around?
Staff turnover at RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS is high. At 59%, the facility is 13 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 Pointe Health Campus Ever Fined?
RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS 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 Pointe Health Campus on Any Federal Watch List?
RIVER POINTE HEALTH CAMPUS 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.
