BETHANY VILLAGE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Bethany Village in Indianapolis has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating a decent quality of care that is slightly above average. It ranks #218 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and #15 out of 46 in Marion County, which means there are only 14 local options that perform better. The facility is improving, with reported issues decreasing from 7 in 2024 to 2 in 2025. However, staffing is a concern, rated at just 1 out of 5 stars, and the turnover rate of 51% is around the Indiana average. While there have been no fines, which is a positive sign, the facility has faced significant issues such as unaccounted withdrawals from resident trust accounts and safety hazards like a rubber hose obstructing walkways, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses in their operations.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Bethany Village?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Bethany Village Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, BETHANY 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 Bethany Village Stick Around?
BETHANY VILLAGE has a staff turnover rate of 51%, which is 5 percentage points above the Indiana average of 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 Bethany Village Ever Fined?
BETHANY 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 Bethany Village on Any Federal Watch List?
BETHANY 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.
