Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. Indiana licenses these communities as Residential Care Facilities (RCF) under 410 IAC 16.2-5, a single license type, not tiered by evacuation ability the way Texas tiers Type A/B.

- Ask whether the community holds a PathWays Waiver provider agreement and, separately, an RCAP room-and-board agreement, and how many current residents use each.

Before you sign anything
Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.
