Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. Indiana licenses these communities as Residential Care Facilities (RCF) under 410 IAC 16.2-5, a single license type, not tiered by evacuation ability the way Texas tiers Type A/B.

Meridian-Kessler specifically
Many Meridian-Kessler families are managing a parent's transition out of a large, multi-story historic home, which raises different practical questions than a newer single-story house would.
What the contract does that the tour does not
The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.
Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything.
