American Village offers nursing home and skilled nursing care, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Indianapolis, in the Canterbury-Chatard neighborhood. Several care levels are available, so a resident whose needs change may be able to move between settings without leaving the community or starting over socially.
Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Hospice care supports end of life needs, and respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
American Village has 229 beds, placing it among larger communities with more residents and staff and more programming. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 6 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. State inspections have reviewed the community’s routine care and safety standards.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover care depending on eligibility and personal resources. The area has a Walk Score of 70 and is very walkable, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Gina Couch serves as administrator, and Health And Hospital Corporation Of Marion County operates American Village.
