Kokomo Healthcare Center is a skilled nursing facility at 429 W Lincoln Rd in Kokomo, Indiana, in Howard County. It is certified for 80 beds and cares for about 67 residents on a typical day, which makes it a mid-sized home. The center's website describes short-term rehabilitation built on physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with the stated goal of getting people home after an injury, surgery, or hospital stay. For people who need to stay longer, the site lists long-term care along with hospice and palliative support and respite stays that give family caregivers a break. Its specialty programs include substance abuse treatment, care after surgery, cardiac management, and neurorehabilitation. The center also describes a full activities calendar, with music performances, therapy dog visits, and bingo nights. Federal records place the center in the CommuniCare Health network, a family-owned group of about 121 facilities across six states, and list it as a for-profit corporation. Federal regulators give this facility 3 out of 5 stars overall. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews. Here the quality measures score is 5 stars and health inspections are rated 3 stars, while the staffing score is 1 star. Government data also shows nursing staff turnover of about 41 percent, so it helps to ask on a tour how many nurses and aides are on duty for each shift. Getting there: the center sits in Kokomo, in Howard County, Indiana. Other Indiana centers in the same network include Bridgewater in Carmel, Greenwood Healthcare Center in Greenwood, and several Indianapolis buildings. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.

Its website lists short-term rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus long-term care, hospice and palliative support, and respite stays. Specialty programs listed for this building include substance abuse treatment, care after surgery, cardiac management, and neurorehabilitation.
It is certified for 80 beds, and about 67 residents live there on a typical day. That makes it a mid-sized nursing home — small enough that staff can know residents by name, but large enough to run several care programs.
Federal records list it as part of the CommuniCare Health network, a family-owned chain of about 121 facilities across six states. This location is run as a for-profit corporation. Other Indiana centers in the network include Bridgewater in Carmel and several Indianapolis buildings.
Federal regulators give the facility 3 out of 5 stars overall. Looking closer, health inspections are rated 3 stars, quality measures (how well residents do on things like mobility and avoiding infections) are rated 5 stars, and staffing is rated 1 star. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews.
Because the staffing rating is 1 star and government data shows nursing staff turnover of about 41 percent, ask how many nurses and aides are on duty for each shift and how the home keeps staff long term. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.
The operator's admissions page for this center says admissions are handled around the clock, the building is certified for the main federal and state coverage programs, has contracts with most managed-care and commercial insurance plans, and offers private-pay options. Bring copies of insurance cards when you visit. You can reach the center at (765) 453-5600.
The center's own page describes a regular activities lineup, including music performances, therapy dog visits, and bingo nights. Ask for the current monthly activities calendar on a tour to see what a typical week looks like.

From government health inspections and reporting · updated July 9, 2026.
Every licensed and certified nursing home is scored from 1 to 5 stars using the same government data: on-site health inspections, staffing levels, and measures of how residents do over time. 5 is much better than average; 1 is much worse. The percentile shows where Kokomo Healthcare Centerlands against other homes — a low score doesn’t always mean bad care today, and a high score isn’t a guarantee, but it tells you what to ask about. Visiting in person is still the best test.
The most recent inspection cycle found 4 deficiencies. No fines were issued in the past three years.
When inspectors find a rule not being met — anything from paperwork to resident care — they record a “deficiency,” and the facility has to fix it. Most nursing homes have at least a few. Fines are money penalties for more serious or repeated problems. Many deficiencies or large fines are worth asking about when you visit.
Items marked “as listed by the facility” come from this facility’s own website. Confirm anything essential directly with the staff before you decide.
