As the capital of Indiana and its largest city, Indianapolis is packed with numerous options for seniors. Over 100,000 senior citizens call the city home, and it’s an ideal place for those who enjoy the comforts as well as the convenience of a big city. Indianapolis’ walking and biking trails make it easy for seniors to stay or get active, and the city’s Canal Walk offers great shopping and dining. Those who love the arts enjoy the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the downtown Farmer’s Market, and sports lovers appreciate having the NFL and NBA in their backyard. Several senior centers are available, and seniors receive half-price fares on the IndyGo bus system, which takes riders throughout the city.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.
