AMERICAN VILLAGE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
American Village in Indianapolis has a Trust Grade of C+, which means it is slightly above average among nursing homes. It ranks #212 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half of the state, and #13 out of 46 in Marion County, indicating that only a few local options are better. The facility appears to be improving, as the number of issues reported decreased from 17 in 2024 to 9 in 2025. Staffing is average, with a 3/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 51%, which is similar to the state average. Notably, there have been no fines, which is a positive sign. However, there are some concerns. The health inspection rating is 2/5, indicating below-average performance, and there were 55 deficiencies found, although none were life-threatening. Specific incidents included medication errors, such as failing to label opened medications or refrigerate those that required it, and a staff member being unprofessional by taking a resident's pen without permission. Additionally, there was an instance where a resident's meal was left out of reach and uncovered for an extended period. While there are strengths in staffing stability and no fines, families should weigh these alongside the identified weaknesses.

About This Facility
What is American Village's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns AMERICAN VILLAGE an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which is considered average nationally. Within Indiana, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This mid-range rating indicates the facility meets federal standards but may have areas for improvement.
How is American Village Staffed?
CMS rates AMERICAN VILLAGE's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 51%, compared to the Indiana average of 46%.
What Have Inspectors Found at American Village?
State health inspectors documented 55 deficiencies at AMERICAN VILLAGE during 2022 to 2025. These included: 54 with potential for harm and 1 minor or isolated issues. While no single deficiency reached the most serious levels, the total volume warrants attention from prospective families.
Who Owns and Operates American Village?
AMERICAN VILLAGE is owned by a government entity. Government-operated facilities are typically run by state, county, or municipal agencies. The facility is operated by AMERICAN SENIOR COMMUNITIES, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 150 certified beds and approximately 120 residents (about 80% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana.
How Does American Village Compare to Other Indiana Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Indiana, AMERICAN VILLAGE's overall rating (3 stars) is below the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (51%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting American Village?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?"
Is American Village Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, AMERICAN VILLAGE 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 3-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 American Village Stick Around?
AMERICAN VILLAGE has a staff turnover rate of 51%, which is about average for Indiana nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was American Village Ever Fined?
AMERICAN VILLAGE 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 American Village on Any Federal Watch List?
AMERICAN VILLAGE 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.
