Butler predicts there will be 50% more beds statewide in the next four or five years. Nursing homes, he continued, have changed considerably from church oriented and county homes over the past years. They now provide many services to make life more interesting for nursing home residents by meeting their social needs. He mentioned there are three kinds of nursing homes: 1, Residential; 2. Intermediate; and 3. Skilled, which provides both of numbers 1 and 2 plus hospital-like care. Walkerton's Miller’s Merry Manor is classed as Intermediate as it offers residential living, nursing care and medical service. Types of nursing care payment varies with the individual. Butler said in Indiana 70% of all nursing home residents are funded through Medicaid which is funded 50% by the Federal Government and 50% by the states. Butler indicated he would be happy to give more detailed information concerning nursing homes to those who are interested.
