Questions families ask

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.

What does assisted living cost in Indianapolis?

The CareScout Cost of Care Survey publishes a statewide Indiana median only -- $5,639 a month for a private one-bedroom in 2025 -- not an Indianapolis-specific figure. Local pricing likely differs from the state median in either direction; ask each community for its current rate.
