Overview of Hellenic Senior Living of Indianapolis

Hellenic Senior Living of Indianapolis sits in the Perry Township area of Indianapolis, about 9.3 miles from downtown. It’s a three-story building with 125 beds, studios, and one-bedroom units. Walk Score comes in at 37, somewhat walkable, though most days you’re getting somewhere by car out here.

Occupancy sits at 75%, so 94 of the 125 beds are filled. Certified nursing staff cover medication management and daily living assistance around the clock, backed by licensed nurses and CNAs. Rehabilitation services and transportation round out what’s available beyond the daily care itself.

Meals happen three times a day, restaurant-style, with snacks in between. On-site, there’s a dining room, a recreation and theater space, an activity room, and an exercise room, actual places to go rather than just a hallway between rooms.

Here’s what’s actually useful to know about oversight: state inspections at communities like this one tend to center on a consistent set of themes, staffing and staff credentials, dietary and food service, and housekeeping and upkeep. Those are the areas regulators routinely examine across assisted living, not unique to any one place.

Jan Caudill runs things as Administrator, Sabrina Summitt oversees nursing as Director of Nursing, and Steve Beck serves as President over the operating company, Hellenic Senior Living of Indianapolis LLC. What you’re looking at is a mid-to-large assisted living community with a full slate of daily care, dining, and common spaces, run by a named leadership team rather than an anonymous operator, which is worth something when you’re trying to know who’s actually accountable for what happens day to day.

What is the average cost of assisted living in Indianapolis, IN?

The average monthly cost of assisted living in Indianapolis, IN is approximately $4,800. Actual rates vary by community, level of care, and floorplan.

What is the price range for assisted living in Indianapolis, IN?

What is the typical staff-to-resident ratio at assisted living facilities in Indianapolis, IN?

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.
