Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. Indiana requires a written Alzheimer's and Dementia Special Care Disclosure under Indiana Code 12-10-5.5, not a separate state certification -- ask to see the disclosure document itself, by name.
We list 15 verified memory care options in Indianapolis.
What to watch for with memory care in Indianapolis
- Ask to see Indiana's required Alzheimer's/Dementia Special Care Disclosure document, by name.
- Ask specifically about wandering and exit-seeking. Secured courtyards, door alarms and staffing patterns vary far more than brochures suggest.
- There is no published median price for memory care in Indiana or any other state. Get quotes in writing from each community.

The Indianapolis market specifically
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.
Families comparing Indianapolis options are often weighing a downtown or near-north community close to major hospitals against a quieter, more suburban setting in the collar counties -- proximity to family and to a specific hospital system frequently outweighs neighborhood prestige in the actual decision.
Who is actually on shift
Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.
Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.
