The Indianapolis metro spans six counties and one shared Area Agency on Aging, CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions, which simplifies things for families searching across city lines. Housing stock, hospital systems, and supply of verified communities vary meaningfully from Indianapolis proper to its faster-growing collar-county suburbs.
This site covers 8 cities -- Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Greenwood, Avon, Plainfield and Zionsville -- across Marion, Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Boone and Hancock counties.
