What to watch for with in-home care near Fountain Square

Medicare-covered home health is intermittent and skilled — nursing visits, physical therapy — not a caregiver who stays with your parent.

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.

You can check any facility's record free. Use the Indiana Long Term Care Survey & Inspection Public Search (hoosierusa.isdh.in.gov) and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

What should I do if someone is in immediate danger?

Call 911 first. Adult Protective Services is not an emergency responder and does not dispatch immediate help -- it investigates reports after the fact. Use 911 for anything urgent, then follow up with APS or the ombudsman as appropriate.

Who has to report suspected elder abuse in Indiana?

Indiana is a mandatory-reporting state: anyone who suspects neglect, battery, or exploitation of an endangered adult (18 or older, incapacitated, and harmed or threatened) is required to report it, not just healthcare or facility staff.

My parent is being discharged from an Indianapolis hospital in 72 hours. What now?

Ask the case manager for the discharge plan in writing, confirm whether your parent was admitted as an inpatient or held under observation status (only inpatient stays count toward Medicare's skilled-nursing benefit), and ask which facilities have actually accepted the referral -- not just which ones were contacted.
