Three things worth knowing first

  • 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.

Questions families ask

What is Indiana's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program?

Indiana's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) recovers amounts Medicaid paid on a recipient's behalf after age 55, from probate and certain non-probate assets. As of July 1, 2025, the state has 9 months after death to file a claim, and recovery does not proceed while a spouse survives or a child is under 21, blind, or disabled.

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.
