How Indiana licenses assisted living. Indiana licenses assisted living as a Residential Care Facility (RCF) under 410 IAC 16.2-5 -- one license type, not tiered like Texas's Type A/B. Read the full explanation →

What to ask on a tour in Indianapolis

Marketing directors are good at their jobs. These are the questions that actually surface differences between communities:

  1. Can I see your current license and most recent state inspection report?
  2. If you market memory care, can I see the required disclosure? (Indiana requires a written Alzheimer's/Dementia Special Care Disclosure under IC 12-10-5.5, not a separate certification.)
  3. What is the all-in monthly cost at my parent's current care level? Ask for the care-level assessment tool in writing and where your parent would score today.
  4. How often have rates increased in the last three years, and by how much?
  5. What is the overnight staffing ratio? Not the daytime ratio — overnight is where families get surprised.
  6. What is caregiver turnover here?
  7. Do you hold a Medicaid waiver provider agreement, and how many current residents use it? (Indiana's PathWays Waiver covers care services; ask separately whether the community also holds an RCAP room-and-board agreement.)
  8. What happens if my parent's needs exceed what this license allows?

Go back unannounced at a different time of day before you decide.

Questions families ask

Is the ombudsman the same as filing a state licensing complaint?

No, they're two different systems. The ombudsman advocates for an individual resident; the Indiana Department of Health investigates regulatory complaints and can take enforcement action against a facility's license. Using one does not preclude using the other.

How do I report suspected abuse or neglect in Indiana?

Call Indiana's statewide Adult Protective Services line at 1-800-992-6978, or file online. Indiana APS is state-run through five regional field teams under FSSA, not county-run, so there is no separate Marion County number to look up.

Is there a different number for a facility-specific licensing complaint versus abuse?

Yes. Adult Protective Services (1-800-992-6978) investigates suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of an individual. A facility licensing complaint -- about conditions, staffing, or care quality broadly -- goes to the Indiana Department of Health at 1-800-246-8909 or through its online complaint form.

Not sure where to start?

Answer five questions and a local advisor will come back with senior care options in Indianapolis that actually fit your situation and budget. It is free, and there is no obligation.
