Questions families ask

Does Indiana have a state program that pays assisted living rent directly?

No broad, non-Medicaid state subsidy pays a family's assisted-living rent directly in Indiana. Available help is narrower: the PathWays Waiver for care services, RCAP for room-and-board assistance paired with a facility's waiver agreement, and VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses.

Which long-term care ombudsman office covers Indianapolis?

Region 8 of Indiana's Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, operated by Indiana Legal Services, covers Marion County and all five surrounding collar counties this site serves -- Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Boone and Hancock -- plus Morgan and Shelby. Reach the regional office at 317-631-9424 or the statewide line at 800-622-4484.

What does a long-term care ombudsman actually do?

An ombudsman advocates for a resident free of charge, and only with the resident's consent. They can attend a care conference with a family but do not license, inspect, or fine a facility -- that is the state health department's job, not the ombudsman's.
