Avalon Senior Living

6021 S Arlington Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46237
Overview of Avalon Senior Living

Avalon Senior Living provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Indianapolis, IN. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space; memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay, which can suit a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover.

Avalon Senior Living has 231 beds, making it a larger community with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. Because multiple care levels are available, a resident whose needs grow can move from assisted living to memory care without leaving the community. Transportation is available, giving residents a community transportation option for needs beyond the campus.

A Walk Score of 59 / 100 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby errands independently. Jerrilynn Morehous serves as the administrator.

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.
