Aperion Care Hanover sits with 125 certified beds and sees an average of about 73 residents each day, and though the facility doesn't share much about itself, there's some clear information you can go on if you're thinking about care here. Daviess County Hospital fully owns the place, but Aperion Care Hanover, LLC has managed things since March 2024, while it keeps ties with Chosen Healthcare and carries the Aperion Care® name, which lots of buildings under different owners use. Assisted living is available for those who want independence but may need some help now and then, and the place also has specialized memory care communities for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, which feature locked outdoor spaces and trained staff. There are all sorts of skilled nursing options, from short-term rehab to long-term stays, and even services for folks needing tracheostomy, wound help, or IV care, besides things like pain management and therapy for speech, swallowing, or movement after a surgery or stroke. Staff is made up of nurses, aides, and a therapy team working all week who put together personalized plans, and people get 24-hour nursing care, but the nurse hours per resident per day, about 3.06, are lower than the state average of 3.7, and nurses there leave a little faster than usual, with a turnover rate just above the average.
Now, the place has some history of serious quality troubles and is currently flagged as a Special Focus Facility Candidate, which means government inspectors are watching it close, but it's not formally marked as a Special Focus Facility yet. Over time, Aperion Care Hanover's inspection reports show 66 different deficiencies, with 5 tied to infection control and 10 problems in just one standard inspection from March 2025, among them 1 infection issue. The reports point out a pharmacy deficiency with some residents affected by poor drug labeling and storage, called F0761, and a bigger environmental issue, F0925, where they didn't control pests well, which the records say affected many residents. The seriousness for the pest problem was listed as F, meaning inspectors saw it as quite a problem. Some other infection-related issues got documented too, which anyone thinking about care there should consider.
The campus covers a wide range of care, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care that isn't medical, adult day services, home health care that's Medicare certified, and hospice and palliative care. Specialized programs cover diabetes management, cardiac rehab, post-stroke rehab, orthopedic therapy, psychiatric rehabilitation, and long-term stays, with separate units for things like Huntington's Disease and memory troubles. There's support too for feeding tubes, respiratory therapy, medication management, and IV needs, so plenty of medical conditions get handled, and the care team aims to make a personalized plan for each person, hoping to help them recover and stay as comfortable as possible. The building has a calm, quiet feel with outdoor areas for memory care, and the staff tries to show a high level of personal caring beyond the basics, according to what's shared about the place. The facility belongs to a larger group with other locations that all offer physical therapy, skilled nursing, and specialty rehab, so families looking for these services might notice that. Still, anyone interested in Aperion Care Hanover should carefully review public inspection records and talk directly with the facility about recent changes and steps taken to fix past quality problems.
