American Village (Senior Living)

The independent-living, assisted-living, and memory-care wing of American Senior Communities' American Village campus, at a separate street address from the campus's Health Campus (nursing) building a few blocks away.

American Village (Senior Living), at 1790 E. 54th St in the Meridian-Kessler area of Indianapolis, is the independent-living, assisted-living, and memory-care wing of American Senior Communities' American Village campus. Per the operator's own site, it offers Garden Homes (independent-living cottages with carports and full kitchens), independent-living apartments, assisted-living apartments, and memory-care apartments, plus a private lake with a walking trail, a professionally staffed fitness center, and ASC's New Energy Wellness program. The community accepts private pay, long-term-care insurance, and VA Aid and Attendance for its assisted-living and memory-care apartments.

American Village's Senior Living wing is a separate licensed building from the campus's Health Campus (skilled nursing, memory care in a nursing setting, and hospice) located at 2026 E. 54th St a few blocks away -- families researching this campus should confirm which building and care type they need, since ASC maintains two distinct community pages under the same American Village name.

Indianapolis in context

Indianapolis holds the metro's oldest and most varied senior-housing stock, much of it built for aging in place in neighborhoods that predate the suburban boom. Eskenazi Health and IU Health's Methodist, Riley and University campuses anchor discharge planning downtown and near-north, while Community Health Network and Franciscan Health cover the east and south sides.

Questions families ask

What Medicaid waiver pays for assisted living in Indiana?

Indiana's PathWays Waiver, part of the Indiana PathWays for Aging program launched July 1, 2024 for Hoosiers 60 and older, can pay for care services inside a licensed Residential Care Facility that holds a waiver provider agreement. It does not cover room and board -- that runs through a separate program, RCAP.

What is RCAP and how is it different from the PathWays Waiver?

The Residential Care Assistance Program (RCAP) is Indiana's Medicaid-funded room-and-board assistance for RCF residents. It pairs with, but is separate from, the PathWays Waiver, which pays for care services. A facility can hold a PathWays agreement, an RCAP agreement, both, or neither -- ask specifically which apply.

Is Indiana's Medicaid expansion (HIP) the same as long-term care Medicaid for seniors?

No. The Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), Indiana's ACA expansion effective February 1, 2015, covers adults 19-64 based on income. Long-term-care Medicaid for seniors uses a separate, non-MAGI aged/blind/disabled eligibility pathway with different asset and income rules. The two are frequently and incorrectly conflated.
