El-Beulah Retirement Village has been part of Indianapolis’s I-69/Fall Creek neighborhood for 31 years now, since 1995. It’s a one-story community, and Walk Score puts the area at 15. It is car-dependent; essentially everything here means driving somewhere.
Housing is rental villas, one or two bedrooms, each with its own kitchen and laundry hookups. Water, sewer, and lawn maintenance are all handled, which takes a real chunk of homeownership hassle off the table. Every villa has its own individual security system too, and the whole community is wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly.
This is independent living with on-call support layered in, not daily hands-on assistance. A 24-hour emergency call system connects residents to staff, though staff are physically on-site during set hours, Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9 to 5, Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 5. Healthcare professionals visit regularly on top of that.
There’s a community center with an industrial kitchen, a lending library, and a lounge, plus a three-acre lake with a walking path for anyone who wants to be outside. The activity calendar runs daily and weekly, with social time, exercise, group activities, health-focused programming, and Bible-based activities woven in as well.
What El-Beulah offers, in the end, is genuine independence with a safety net underneath it: your own villa, your own space, but a call button and a real social community if you want either one. For someone who’s still largely self-sufficient but wants that layer of support and connection built into where they live, that’s exactly the arrangement on offer here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What government services provide money for senior housing?
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.
Do you help families that need Medicaid?
Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.
How much does this service cost?
We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.
