Overview of Oasis at 56th

Oasis at 56th is a 124-bed luxury assisted living community at 4940 W 56th St in Indianapolis, Indiana 46254. Licensed as 24-014279-1 (expires Nov 30, 2025), the facility is operated by Oasis at 56th, LP under administrator Brittany Weaver and Director of Nursing Erica Broaders. The community holds a BBB A+ rating, an “A Great Place to Work” award, and Bronze recognition from AHCA/NCAL. It has been operating for 8 years.

Residents occupy studio and 1-bedroom apartments with kitchenette and individual climate control. Three daily meals, housekeeping, and laundry are included. Beauty salon, exercise room, activity room, and private dining accommodate social and recreational needs. Certified staff provide 24-hour assistance with daily living activities. The facility markets personalized care planning and resident independence support.

Current occupancy is 69% (85 of 124 beds), matching the Indiana average. However, occupancy has declined 31% since September 2023, when census was 123 residents. Location offers moderate walkability (Walk Score 60), 10.1 miles from downtown Indianapolis. Ascension St. Vincent Hospital is 4.52 miles away.

Oasis at 56th’s regulatory record with the Indiana Department of Health presents material safety concerns. Since 2023, the facility has accumulated 47 deficiencies, 31% above the Indiana state average; with 3.4 deficiencies per inspection, 79% worse than state average. Seven complaints have been filed, 40% above state average. The September 2024 complaint investigation documented medication administration failures resulting in a resident’s death. The resident had documented medication refusals (10–28 instances) that staff did not communicate to the prescribing physician, contributing to the resident’s adrenal crisis and death. A February 2025 state inspection found 9 deficiencies: medication administration errors, failure to notify physicians of falls, lack of dementia training for staff, unclean resident rooms, infection control breaches (improper glove use, unsanitized water pitchers and glucometers), and medication disposal failures. March 2024 inspection identified 13 deficiencies including substantiated resident-to-resident physical abuse, medication management violations, bed bug infestation, and infection control protocol failures. Deficiencies across multiple inspections center on medication administration and communication, physician notification failures, and infection control compliance. The April 2025 inspection found zero deficiencies on three complaints, indicating potential recent improvement, but the historical pattern of medication-related incidents and compliance gaps persists as a documented risk.

Ask directly about the 31% decline in occupancy and what corrective measures the facility has implemented to address the regulatory deficiencies documented since 2023.

Families should ask about corrections following the September 2024 medication error that resulted in a resident’s death, including safeguards for residents on multiple medications.

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.
