What to Consider About Assisted Living in Carmel

The Indiana Residential Care Facility Licensing Program oversees the licensing and inspection of facilities operating in the state.

The Long Term Care Ombudsman responds to any complaints or concerns about Indiana facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Carmel

This means there are several months each year when active seniors can take advantage of the area’s many leisure opportunities.
