Care options in Plainfield

Questions families ask

What does in-home care cost in Indiana, and when does a community become cheaper?

Indiana's 2025 CareScout median for non-medical home care is $35 an hour. A 40-hour week already runs about $6,067 a month, above Indiana's assisted living median -- so once care needs push past roughly 40 hours a week, it is worth running the math against a community's monthly rate.

Does Indiana have a state program that pays assisted living rent directly?

No broad, non-Medicaid state subsidy pays a family's assisted-living rent directly in Indiana. Available help is narrower: the PathWays Waiver for care services, RCAP for room-and-board assistance paired with a facility's waiver agreement, and VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses.

Which long-term care ombudsman office covers Indianapolis?

Region 8 of Indiana's Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, operated by Indiana Legal Services, covers Marion County and all five surrounding collar counties this site serves -- Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Boone and Hancock -- plus Morgan and Shelby. Reach the regional office at 317-631-9424 or the statewide line at 800-622-4484.
