Verified hospice care in Fishers

Nothing verified in Fishers yet. Hospice and home care are delivered wherever the patient lives, so the agency's office address matters far less than its service area. Agencies based in Indianapolis routinely cover Fishers. We only list providers we have confirmed against their own published information, so this list is shorter than the aggregator directories — and more reliable.

The Fishers market specifically

Fishers is younger on average than the rest of Hamilton County, but its original 1990s subdivisions are now producing a first wave of residents in their 60s and 70s, driving new memory-care and assisted-living development around the Nickel Plate District corridor.

Fishers families frequently cross-shop with Carmel and Noblesville, since driving distance between the three is short and several operators run sister communities in more than one of the three cities.

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 is RCAP and how is it different from the PathWays Waiver?

The Residential Care Assistance Program (RCAP) is Indiana's Medicaid-funded room-and-board assistance for RCF residents. It pairs with, but is separate from, the PathWays Waiver, which pays for care services. A facility can hold a PathWays agreement, an RCAP agreement, both, or neither -- ask specifically which apply.

Is Indiana's Medicaid expansion (HIP) the same as long-term care Medicaid for seniors?

No. The Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), Indiana's ACA expansion effective February 1, 2015, covers adults 19-64 based on income. Long-term-care Medicaid for seniors uses a separate, non-MAGI aged/blind/disabled eligibility pathway with different asset and income rules. The two are frequently and incorrectly conflated.

Is there a waitlist for Indiana's PathWays Waiver?

Yes, historically. At the program's July 2024 launch, 9,015 people were on the PathWays waiting list statewide out of 39,842 total slots. Current waitlist figures change; confirm today's status with CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions, the Area Agency on Aging serving this region.

What is Indiana's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program?

Indiana's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) recovers amounts Medicaid paid on a recipient's behalf after age 55, from probate and certain non-probate assets. As of July 1, 2025, the state has 9 months after death to file a claim, and recovery does not proceed while a spouse survives or a child is under 21, blind, or disabled.
