The Avon market specifically

Avon's senior-care options grew alongside its rapid 2000s subdivision boom, and Hendricks Regional Health is the hospital most Avon-area families work with for discharge planning and referrals.

Avon families often compare local options against Plainfield's smaller supply just to the south, since both draw on Hendricks Regional Health for hospital discharge planning.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. Use the Indiana Long Term Care Survey & Inspection Public Search (hoosierusa.isdh.in.gov) and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

What should I do if someone is in immediate danger?

Call 911 first. Adult Protective Services is not an emergency responder and does not dispatch immediate help -- it investigates reports after the fact. Use 911 for anything urgent, then follow up with APS or the ombudsman as appropriate.

Who has to report suspected elder abuse in Indiana?

Indiana is a mandatory-reporting state: anyone who suspects neglect, battery, or exploitation of an endangered adult (18 or older, incapacitated, and harmed or threatened) is required to report it, not just healthcare or facility staff.

My parent is being discharged from an Indianapolis hospital in 72 hours. What now?

Ask the case manager for the discharge plan in writing, confirm whether your parent was admitted as an inpatient or held under observation status (only inpatient stays count toward Medicare's skilled-nursing benefit), and ask which facilities have actually accepted the referral -- not just which ones were contacted.

Does Medicare pay for a nursing home stay after a hospitalization?

Medicare covers a limited skilled-nursing-facility stay only after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, for rehabilitation, not long-term placement. Time spent under observation status does not count, even after multiple nights in a hospital bed -- ask the hospital directly which status applies.
