A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing. Indiana licenses these as Comprehensive Care Facilities, a separate license from the Residential Care Facility (assisted living) rule chapter. Two different populations often live under the same roof: short-term rehab patients and long-term residents.

Short answer

We list 36 verified nursing homes providers across your metro. A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing.

Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare may cover a short rehab stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, but it does not pay for long-term custodial nursing care.
  • Nursing facilities are the one senior care category with federal CMS star ratings.
  • Indiana's 2025 CareScout medians are $8,943/month semi-private and $10,326/month private -- semi-private is often Medicaid-weighted and lower than a private-pay quote.
How Indiana licenses assisted living. Indiana licenses assisted living as a Residential Care Facility (RCF) under 410 IAC 16.2-5 -- one license type, not tiered like Texas's Type A/B. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

What should I do after a parent's first fall?

Treat it as a signal, not an accident -- a first fall is one of the strongest predictors of the next one. Get the cause investigated (medications, vision, inner-ear issues), fix the immediate environment, and ask CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions about equipment-lending programs.

What should I do right after a dementia diagnosis?

Slow down -- very little has to be decided the first month. Get the specific diagnosis type, since Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body and frontotemporal dementia progress differently, and put power of attorney and medical power of attorney paperwork in place now, while capacity is clear.

I live out of state. How do I manage my parent's care from a distance?

Build a plan that survives a bad-weather week when you cannot fly in. Recruit local eyes such as a Meals on Wheels driver or trusted neighbor, get medical power of attorney and HIPAA authorization in place, and establish one local point of contact, such as CICOA or a geriatric care manager.

Which Area Agency on Aging covers Marion County?

CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions, Indiana's Planning & Service Area 8, covers Marion County and all five surrounding collar counties this site serves. Reach CICOA at 317-254-5465 or its Resource Center at 317-803-6131.
