The Forum at the Crossing, at 8505 Woodfield Crossing Blvd in Indianapolis, is managed by Tutera Senior Living and offers independent living and memory care, per the operator's own tutera.com community page (which displays only independent-living and memory-care service icons for this location, not assisted living, despite some third-party aggregators listing an assisted-living option here).

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

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.

Is there a waitlist for Indiana's PathWays Waiver?

Yes, historically. At the program's July 2024 launch, 9,015 people were on the PathWays waiting list statewide out of 39,842 total slots. Current waitlist figures change; confirm today's status with CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions, the Area Agency on Aging serving this region.

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.
