A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing. Indiana licenses these as Comprehensive Care Facilities, a separate license from the Residential Care Facility (assisted living) rule chapter. Two different populations often live under the same roof: short-term rehab patients and long-term residents.

Short answer

We list 36 verified nursing homes providers across your metro. A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing.

Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare may cover a short rehab stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, but it does not pay for long-term custodial nursing care.
  • Nursing facilities are the one senior care category with federal CMS star ratings.
  • Indiana's 2025 CareScout medians are $8,943/month semi-private and $10,326/month private -- semi-private is often Medicaid-weighted and lower than a private-pay quote.
How Indiana licenses assisted living. Indiana licenses assisted living as a Residential Care Facility (RCF) under 410 IAC 16.2-5 -- one license type, not tiered like Texas's Type A/B. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

What does assisted living cost in Indianapolis?

The CareScout Cost of Care Survey publishes a statewide Indiana median only -- $5,639 a month for a private one-bedroom in 2025 -- not an Indianapolis-specific figure. Local pricing likely differs from the state median in either direction; ask each community for its current rate.

What does memory care cost in Indiana?

There is no published memory-care median for Indiana or any other state -- CareScout does not survey it as a category. Any memory-care price you see quoted online is an estimate or an extrapolation, not a sourced figure. Get quotes in writing from each community instead.

What does a nursing home cost in Indiana?

CareScout's 2025 survey puts Indiana's nursing home median at $8,943 a month for a semi-private room and $10,326 for a private room. Semi-private figures are often Medicaid-weighted and lower than a private-pay quote you'd actually be offered.

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.
