Heritage Center

1201 W Buena Vista Rd, Evansville, IN 47710
Overview of Heritage Center

Heritage Center operates in Evansville, IN, and is a continuing care retirement community. Under that heading come independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, home care, and hospice care.

Independent living leaves the daily care alone, which keeps the day in the resident’s hands. Assisted living picks up dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care runs secured, with supervision included, against a wandering risk.

Respite care runs on a caregiver’s calendar, for a trip or a recovery. Home care goes to the person’s own residence instead of bringing them onto the campus. Hospice care attends to comfort where an illness has become life-limiting, and the aim there stops being recovery.

That breadth is the meaning of the continuing care designation, so a change in need is handled as a change of level. The housing features studios, one-bedroom residences, and two-bedroom residences, with over 172 beds. Adam Strickland administers it, and Pulaski Memorial Hospital is the operator.

Overview of Residences at Deer Creek

Founded by a group of local physicians, Residences at Deer Creek has served seniors in Schererville, Indiana, for 15 years. The community offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care along U. Highway 30, about 6 miles from Methodist Hospitals Southlake Campus. It is operated by Ail Operating LLC, with Karen Ayersman as Executive Director and Frances Guyton-Ward as Director of Nursing.

The 130-bed community is in a three-story building with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartment options. The home’s occupancy is about 75%, giving families a well-established senior living community with a range of housing choices. Residents also have access to transportation services, fitness programs, and recreational activities. Pets are welcome, which can make the move easier for those with animal companions.

The surrounding neighborhood has a Walk Score of 34 out of 100. A few nearby destinations are within walking distance, but most errands require a car. The location near Methodist Hospitals Southlake Campus may also be helpful for residents who need ongoing medical care.

State inspections by the Indiana Department of Health have reviewed documentation and notification practices, including the timely reporting of falls and other incidents. Inspectors have also looked at staff training records and supervision procedures. Some inspection periods had no findings, which reflects continued regulatory oversight over time rather than a single inspection result.

Overview of Vita of Greenfield

What Vita of Greenfield runs in Greenfield, IN, is memory care and assisted living. Memory care addresses the risk of wandering, and it answers with a secured setting and staff monitoring. The daily help under assisted living reaches medication, bathing, and dressing, and a resident’s own apartment goes on being theirs.

Either a person needing that daily help or a person whose dementia calls for a supervised place will find the level here. There are 112 beds, and Medicaid is accepted for anyone eligible.

Engaging activities take in music therapy, art activities, gardening clubs, and intergenerational programs, and a pet can live here with its owner. Paula Carroll is named as administrator, and 76 for Walk Score rates the surroundings very walkable.

Overview of Meadow Brook Senior Living

Meadow Brook Senior Living sits at 11011 Village Square Ln in Fishers, Indiana, a 116-bed community that covers three levels of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. The building is two stories, set in a neighborhood where a Walk Score of 59 means some errands are doable on foot, though you’ll still want a car for most of them. Right now, 88 of the 116 units are filled, putting occupancy at 76 percent.

The community is run by Sabra Midwest Operations Ix, LLC. Allison Roskam is the Executive Director. She’s got a degree in Healthcare Management and Policy from IU Bloomington, plus credentials as a Licensed Residential Care Administrator and a Certified Dementia Practitioner. Natalie Grannan runs the nursing side as Director of Nursing.

On the care front, residents can get rehabilitation services and respite care, and there’s a doctor on staff along with licensed nurses and CNAs. Home care is available too. The memory care piece is built around a short-term program, paired with personal service plans that get tailored to each resident and a social calendar meant to keep people connected.

The amenity list is long: a fitness center and gym, a library, a salon and spa, even a chapel. Food comes through a restaurant, a bistro, and a cafe, with private dining an option when you want it. Outside, there’s a courtyard, a garden, and walking paths. Add in a movie theater, scheduled transportation, and concierge help, and there’s a lot going on. Day to day, residents get entertainment, games, and special events, backed by a wellness program that gives the whole thing some structure.

Indiana’s Department of Health, through its Division of Long Term Care, is the agency that inspects this facility. Those inspections have tended to circle back to a handful of themes: medication management, infection control, environmental safety, how care gets documented and planned, and resident rights.

Meadow Brook is built for a wide range of needs. It works for someone who just wants an independent apartment and a built-in social scene, and it works for someone whose memory care needs are more hands-on. That range, all under one roof, is really what defines this place.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Indiana

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Indiana?

Assisted living in Indiana supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Indiana?

Assisted living in Indiana is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover assisted living?

Indiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Indiana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 317 assisted living facilities in Indiana. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Indiana?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Indiana, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Indiana?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
