Indiana Assisted Living

Indiana has a population of 6.5+ million. It has been growing at a little under the national average over the last half-century, far behind both Ohio and Illinois in terms of population.

Why look for assisted living in Indiana?

Affordability. Indiana is the least expensive state in the Midwest and it would make the Top 10 in terms of affordability nationwide if it wasn’t for all the southern states that dominate the list.

For this reason, Indiana assisted living is highly desirable. It provides great senior housing costs for those that prefer the Midwest over the south.

Indiana also has a lot of underrated tradition, including a love of sports in its lone metropolitan area of Indianapolis.
