HomeDirectoryIndependent LivingAltenheim

A CarDon & Associates community on the south side of Indianapolis offering independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation, long-term care, memory support, and dialysis.

Altenheim, at 3525 East Hanna Avenue on the south side of Indianapolis, is a CarDon & Associates community offering the company's full continuum of care -- independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation, long-term (nursing) care, memory support, and on-site dialysis -- per the operator's own site. CarDon describes itself as a family-first senior-living operator with 20 communities across central and southern Indiana.

As one of CarDon's larger continuum-of-care campuses, Altenheim allows residents to transition between independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing without leaving the community, and its on-site dialysis service is a differentiator from several of CarDon's smaller, single-service-line communities elsewhere in the network.

Indianapolis in context

Indianapolis holds the metro's oldest and most varied senior-housing stock, much of it built for aging in place in neighborhoods that predate the suburban boom. Eskenazi Health and IU Health's Methodist, Riley and University campuses anchor discharge planning downtown and near-north, while Community Health Network and Franciscan Health cover the east and south sides.

Questions families ask

What senior care options exist in Hancock County?

Hancock County, anchored by Greenfield, has several verified assisted living, independent living and skilled nursing options and is served by Hancock Regional Health and CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions.

What's the difference between independent living and assisted living in Indiana?

Independent living is generally unlicensed housing -- apartments or cottages with dining and activities but no personal care. Assisted living communities in Indiana are licensed as Residential Care Facilities and provide medication administration and help with daily activities.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Indiana?

Both can be licensed as Residential Care Facilities, but a memory care unit must also file Indiana's Alzheimer's and Dementia Special Care Disclosure under IC 12-10-5.5 and meet dementia-specific staff training requirements. There is no separate state cost median for memory care, unlike assisted living.
