The facility operates as a non-profit corporation and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. It maintains a relatively small capacity of 23 certified beds. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of 1 to 5, where higher ratings reflect better performance relative to other facilities. St Augustine Home for the Aged holds an overall CMS rating of 5 stars, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating stands at 4 stars, reflecting the outcomes of state inspection surveys conducted at the facility. The quality measure rating is 5 stars, based on clinical data reported for residents across several care indicators. A staffing rating is not currently available for this facility, meaning CMS does not report a star rating for that domain at this time. St Augustine Home for the Aged is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility and duration requirements. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and medical eligibility criteria as defined by Indiana state guidelines. Families and individuals seeking placement should contact the facility directly at (317) 415-5767 to inquire about current availability, accepted insurance plans, and any private pay options. In the context of national nursing facility data, St Augustine Home for the Aged performs above the national average in the categories for which ratings are available. Its overall 5-star rating and 5-star quality measure rating both exceed the national benchmark of 3.0 stars, while the 4-star health inspection rating is also above average. The absence of a staffing rating limits a complete comparison across all CMS domains. With 23 certified beds, the facility is considerably smaller than the average nursing home in the United States, which may be a relevant consideration for individuals evaluating the characteristics of a prospective care setting.
