In the fourth quarter of 2023, Saint Anne Home stood out as the second largest nursing home in Allen County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 166 beds available, 60 more than the average in Allen County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 94.5 residents during that period.

Saint Anne Home had an overall rating of 3 from the CMS, which is higher than the average of 2.9 recorded for nursing homes in Indiana.

During the quarter, Heritage Park stood out as the largest nursing home in Allen County, with 180 beds available. Coventry Meadows came in third place, with 150 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Saint Anne Home has spent a total of $19,500 in two fines and suffered two penalties.

In total, there were nine non-profit nursing homes in Allen County, Indiana.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
