Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.

Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Complaints the state investigated and upheld, as published in the state record.
Total count of deficiencies (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of deficiencies this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total deficiencies ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Overview of Oasis at 56th

Oasis at 56th sits in Indianapolis, about 7.5 miles out from downtown, a mid-rise building that’s been running for 8 years now. It’s 124 beds total, studios and one-bedrooms, and the Walk Score comes in at 60. Moderately walkable, a decent mix of things reachable on foot.

Occupancy sits at 69%, so 85 of the 124 beds are filled. Licensed nurses and CNAs cover staffing around the clock, and that team handles personal assistance and medication help as part of daily care, not as an extra.

Meals happen three times a day, and housekeeping and laundry are handled so residents aren’t managing that themselves. There’s a regular social and recreational activity calendar too, structured time built into the week rather than left up to chance.

State inspections at communities like this one tend to center on a consistent set of themes: medication management, infection prevention, staffing and credentials, and fall prevention. Those are the areas regulators routinely examine across assisted living, not unique to any one place.

What Oasis at 56th offers is a mid-sized assisted living setup: round-the-clock licensed nursing coverage, daily meals and housekeeping handled, and a structured activity rhythm layered on top. For a family evaluating options at this size and staffing level, that’s the actual shape of what’s here: day-to-day support backed by nursing staff who are present continuously, not just on call.

Overview of Wyndmoor of Castleton

The license runs to 175 beds, which puts Wyndmoor in the middle of the range for size. A salon and transportation are both named among the amenities.

A Walk Score of 61 is somewhat walkable, and a resident without a car can still reach some things on foot.

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.
