How families in Irvington usually search

Neighborhood matters less than families expect, and more than communities admit. The practical test is not the map. It is whether the person who will visit most often will still be visiting in month eight.

What is specific to Irvington

Irvington's distance from the newer Hamilton County health campuses means families here more often start their search with Community Health Network's east-side facilities.

Irvington's active neighborhood association and walkable Main Street help some seniors stay independent longer than the housing stock alone would suggest.

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.
