A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing. Indiana licenses these as Comprehensive Care Facilities, a separate license from the Residential Care Facility (assisted living) rule chapter.

The Carmel market specifically
Carmel's senior-care supply is newer and denser than Indianapolis proper, reflecting the city's mostly 1980s-2020s development, with several large continuing-care campuses combining independent living, assisted living, memory care and nursing on one site. IU Health North is the primary hospital families here interact with for discharge planning.
Families in Carmel often compare its newer campuses against similar communities in neighboring Fishers, since both cities share Hamilton County's regulatory environment and a similar built-in-the-2000s housing stock.
Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.
