Best nursing homes in Indianapolis: find options near you

I took a tour of the Marquette facility in anticipation of my mom’s future needs. This place is hands-down the best of the best. It’s far superior to the other senior residential facilities I have visited. The individual apartments are really nicely appointed with high-end finishes. All of the public spaces are beautiful, beautiful billiard room, and dining facilities, and beautiful pool and exercise areas.

Marquette is such a special place to call home! I had the privilege of helping seniors move out of their house and into Marquette and saw them welcomed with warm smiles from staff and fellow residents! Their renovations are beautiful and were so thoughtfully planned out for maximum enjoyment of social time with friends and family! I’m so excited for the future growth of this vibrant community and can’t wait to help others make their perfect move!

Marquette has an excellent multi decade reputation for a reason. From the gorgeous campus to the full continuum of care, excellent food options, robust calendar of activities, beautiful apartment choices, to a dedicated and tenured staff, it is all quite impressive. Despite all of the wonderful amenities what will really give you a lasting impression when you visit Marquette is the engaging and happy residents. Nothing can compare to residents stopping you in the hallway or one of the many common areas to tell you how much they love living there.

Our team at Indy Real Estate Experts absolutely loves moving and resettling clients into Marquette b/c we know they’re moving into a beautiful community. We know our clients will be welcomed and received with open arms from both the residents and the team at Marquette! We are very appreciative of our working relationship with the community and will continue recommending our downsizing clients to Marquette as their new home.

I did a Chuy’s delivery for a meeting they had. This is such a beautiful place! I was first created by the security gate staff who was so friendly and welcoming, he directed me to exactly where I needed to go. Walking into the building was a delightful vibe, clean, esthetics were perfect, smelled amazing and amazing staff who greeted me with a welcoming warm smile! I’ve been in several elderly care places for family members and I would definitely say this is a place that you would compare to the fanciest hotel!

Marquette Manor is a beautiful, well maintained campus. The nursing staff is exceptional. They are knowledgeable, and treat all the residents as their own. Most of the staff have been there for many years, which is a testament to great leadership. The supportive staff also shows love to the residents, and welcome guests. It is an all around wonderful, positive environment to be in.

My grandparents live at Marquette, and they are so happy there! I love going to visit them and having lunch at the Fireside Grill, the staff is always so friendly and accommodating!

Ran into what I think was a maintenance man and he was very rude. He almost knocked me over while I was visiting my aunt and did not say excuse me. He just kept walking. I’m not sure what kind of people are being hired here, but this is not my first experience with a rude person here.

I still like the automated check-in, & the cleanliness of the facility, & the decor. I also like that my mother receives prompt feedback from management. Her concerns are addressed expeditiously. I really love the lay out of the one bedroom apartments, & my mother really likes their food. My mother just recently had a setback. The Director of Nursing used her clinical skills, & it kept my mother at the facility versus going to the Emergency Room. Thank you for taking such great care of my mother!

It is clean and well decorated. The individual calming rooms are nice. The staff are all nice and friendly. I like that the TV room and the dinning rooms are separate. The rooms can accommodate a queen bed and a recliner with room to walk.

Greenbriar is a very nice building. It is clean and smells good. The staff is friendly, especially Latoya. The residents are active and seem happy. The rooms are a good size. Overall, it’s a nice place. I’d let my loved one move in here in a heartbeat.

Greenbriar Village is a wonderful place! My mother has lived in assisted living and now memory care for over seven years! The current staff are some of the most caring people I have ever met! I feel so happy and relieved that my mom is being cared for in such a great place by so many awesome people. Anytime an issue arises they are quick to remedy the situation. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. I would highly recommend Greenbriar to anyone looking for a loving and caring place to place a parent.

Our Mother was living in their Memory Care facility. She got great compassionate care. I enjoyed the staff and the patients. She is currently in a terrible Rehab facility. We’re going to be so sad to not take her back here if she has to have a modified diet. Unfortunately Greenbriar doesn’t do thickened liquids or puréed foods.

My mother has lived here for 9 years and I can honestly say I have never seen a roach in her apartment. If there is a bug, they spray immediately. She is very happy there and the daily staff that interact with her are very friendly and caring. The staff listens and tries to troubleshoot issues. They kept her safe during Covid. It's not perfect and the food is not very good but they are working hard to improve. I'm hearing building renovations are starting soon.

(CAUTION) DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONE HERE!! I brought my mom here in May of this year and it’s been nothing but problems! I’ve visited her on multiple occasions with new bruises and wounds popping up, malnourished, not clean and with bed sores which means she’s being neglected! The administrator Brock is very uneducated and careless. He once told me "if you want better care then maybe you should take her else where" which is very unprofessional! The only good thing about this place is the activity director Kristian which is awesome by the way! But that doesn’t make up for everything they have put my mother through. Save the headaches and lawsuits people and take them somewhere better!

My experience with Majestic Care of Southport has been overwhelmingly positive. From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff made me feel welcomed, supported, and cared for. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for residents. The nursing and caregiving teams are truly exceptional. They are not only knowledgeable and attentive, but they also treat residents with genuine kindness and dignity. Communication with families is consistent, compassionate, and transparent, which gives tremendous peace of mind.

5 Stars – Exceptional Care and Compassion I can’t say enough positive things about Majestic Care of Southport. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The staff truly goes above and beyond to ensure residents feel comfortable, valued, and well-cared for. The facility itself is clean, organized, and has a peaceful atmosphere that feels like home. The nursing staff is attentive, professional, and always willing to answer questions, giving families peace of mind. They provide excellent medical care while still treating residents with dignity and respect. What really stood out to me was the compassion shown by the entire team. Whether it was assisting with daily needs, encouraging social activities, or just offering a kind smile, they consistently showed genuine care. If you’re looking for a facility that combines skilled care with heartfelt compassion, Majestic Care of Southport is a wonderful choice. I’m incredibly grateful for the care they provide and highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality long-term or short-term care for their loved one.

We are so impressed with the staff at Majestic care. Heather has gone out of her way to make sure all our needs are met. Everyone has been so kind and the facility is always clean.

I'm writing this review as I come to see my brother whose been a resident here for a year now. I am looking for a new place with a dementia unit or I would've pulled him out of here by now . I come here during the week and this place is a ghost town!! No management is here at 4:30 pm during the week or at all on weekends. I overheard staff saying the director in this facility give bonuses to employees who write a 5 star review on their behalf. A facility should receive a review based on TRUE MERIT. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR LOVED ONES HERE!! They should be helping improve the nursing home with more employees and better food than paying staff to write reviews. Sure the staff is going to give their job 5 stars..

Took a tour with Heather recently, the facility is beautiful and staff was friendly. Residents looked well maintained and Heather is very knowledgeable and personable.

Majestic Care of Southport exemplifies excellence in patient care through its highly professional and compassionate team. The staff is dedicated to providing individualized treatment with the utmost respect and dignity, ensuring each resident receives attentive, expert care. Their commitment to clear communication, clinical expertise, and personalized support fosters an environment of trust, healing, and comfort for both residents and their families I was able to be a part of an Outing with Manager Broc Bennett, taking two of the residence to a pacer game. Broc took time out of his own evening to take these two guys out, and the two guys had the time of their lives. I would highly recommend Majestic Care of Southport for anybody who is looking for this kind of kindness and professionalism.

Team is great at the facility. Jennifer (the executive director) is very helpful and informative when issues arise. Karleigh and Holly are equally as helpful for families and the residents. The staff goes above for the residents. Dining room is always full and the food is great!! Shout out to John for those fun resident themed meals! Would definitely recommend Bethany village for your family!

From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and cared for. The staff are compassionate, attentive, and truly dedicated to the residents’ well-being. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. The nursing team communicates well, the therapy department is excellent, and the facility is clean and well maintained. Most importantly, our loved one feels safe, respected, and supported every day. We are grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown by everyone at Bethany Village. I would highly recommend this skilled nursing community to anyone looking for quality care in a positive and supportive environment.

I can’t say enough good things about this community! The staff is compassionate, professional, and truly cares about the well-being of every resident. The environment is warm, clean, and welcoming — and I always feel confident knowing my loved one is in good hands. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional skilled nursing and care!

I've had the pleasure of coordinating care with Karleigh and her team. Our communication and patient care management has been very thorough. Whether discharging home or staying long term, my interactions have been excellent!

The staff has been so wonderful to our mother. Their care, compassion, and patience are truly genuine and incredibly comforting to our family. We are so grateful to know she is in such good hands.

Front office admission awesome, friendly atmosphere. Memory care is clean. The staff has been super with me and when I do address concerns or needs its has been addressed. I call regular for updates and request call backs. I was recommended by and with the help of VA case manager.

Joyce in admission was nothing more than amazing getting me into the facility. I have been here for 3 months and staff has been wonderful and very helpful. Couldn't ask for a better TEAM. 😁

I love the community here! Thank you for inviting Owen’s Document Services to participate in your community events!

The Plaza is a magnificent destination for seniors who demand only the highest standards in senior living – an award winning kitchen with sumptuous options, buildings safely and securely tucked away from the hustle and bustle of mainstream life, and a community of residents with open arms and hearts to new residents, while still respecting resident’s personal needs and privacy. Whether you seek a cozy and private but fully independent style of living, or a comfortable, serene apartment where you receive a bit of help around the edges, the Plaza offers both, and in conjunction with the adjacent Life Care Center. Residents can easily enjoy life here, in its many stages, without needing to leave good friends behind or transfer to a foreign new environment. I cannot more highly recommend the Westside Garden Plaza, where seniors call «home».

I like the place I love the residences I love helping them out making their day making their life more easier for them

I can’t say much about the housing treatment but I can say this place is absolutely beautiful. You can’t help but feel at peace when you’re there because both the interior and exterior have such a relaxing air. I went there for a meeting and everyone was so nice and warming.

We have had the honor to work as a professional partner with Westside Garden Plaza for many years and would highly recommend this facility! From the caring staff to the therapy team it is an all around fantastic facility. Highly recommend!

My mother-in-law lived in WSG for 8 years and now my mother has lived there for 3 years. Driving up to the place shows off its beautiful setting and landscaping. It is always very well cared for. And upon entering any of the sections, it has always been clean and classy. In addition, the employees have always treated both mothers and us with care and concern. During the past 19 months they have worked hard to respect resident’s autonomy yet made efforts to keep everyone safe. They have followed public health guidelines but allowed flexibility. My mother has friends in the community, has joined committees where she has a voice in change, enjoys card groups and day trips, and appreciates the beautiful gardens outside her windows. My compliments to the admin and staff of this well run retirement living community.

My mother in law lives here. It’s beautiful and the staff is great. The staff goes above and beyond to help. She lived in her own apartment in the beginning and now lives in assisted area. Both units have been great. They offer so many things for the residents to do and enjoy! It’s always clean and decorated nicely. Written by: The family of Frances Pauline Gentry

We chose here before we needed care and have not been disappointed. Westminster strikes a good balance between good care and affordable living. Have been here 6+ years and have no regrets with our choice! It has lots of small town charm.

It was a tough but necessary decision for my mom to be here in skilled care. We interviewed several places and chose Westminster. The staff and administrators are so kind and caring. This is a tough job at any level; we so appreciate the good care our mom receives here from the aides to the nurses to the administration.

Visited my aunt. The facility is beautiful, clean and smells healthy. The hostesses are helpful and friendly. However find the nurses in one wing was not interested in attending to a resident in a wheelchair chair whose head was leaned back and appeared unconscious. I observed the resident at the early part of my visit and 2 hours later, the resident still had not moved. Head still back, still not conscious. The nurse station is clearly visible to the resident. None of the nurses seemed concerned even when I asked about the resident. After remaining in the same position, should be quite uncomfortable in the neck region.

I noticed that a lot of the recent reviews are from staff. I moved my loved one out of this facility per recommendation from an ER doctor who told me, "in good conscience, I cannot let her leave the hospital and go back to her apartment in Westminster." The staff negligence, disregard for client needs and safety was appalling. Two CNAs dropped my mom, and did not record the incident. Instead she suffered for days before finally going to the hospital because I called the ambulance. Another CNA yelled at my mom and left her alone in the shower alone for over 15 min, and my mom cannot ambulate alone. The administrative and social workers did nothing to address issues; instead they just wanted to move my 1-assist mom to skilled nursing and charge more.

The staff is trying hard, but, like most of the residents here, the facility is aging and in need of repair. Charging high rates for accommodations means the accommodations should rate high as well. The areas need to be maintained, damaged areas need repairs, and dirty areas need to be cleaned. No one wants to keep their elderly relatives in a home that's not at least as nice as the one their infirmities forced them out of. No one can afford to be in a facility like this if they don't have the means.

My fiance's grandmother has lived in Westminster's assisted living for several years now, since before I met her. Every time we visit, the staff are so kind and caring. I would highly recommend this place!

My wife, Connie, and I spent several months researching and visiting Retirement Communities in the Indianapolis area. Westminster Village North met all of our basic requirements for an active life style and potential health care needs in the future. WVN has exceeded all of our expectations with a beautiful apartment, new friends, lots of fun activities, lovely dining room and a friendly competent staff. We would recommend Westminster Village North to anyone who is looking for a "stress free" retirement life.

The Harrison ranks higher than a 10 especially in comparison to my former home. My apartment is beautiful, clean and bright. I feel so at home with smiles and pride showing from the staff members and residents. The entire staff from Carmen, Jessica, Lisa, Nate, Nursing Supervisor, QMA that I knew from another facility seeing your welcoming face was the extra that I needed, Ms T, my QMAS and CNAs that helped me quickly get over my PTSD from my former AL, the Dining Room staff from their supervisor and the staff and their food is soooooooo good, perfect portions tasty, healthy and balanced. OMG, and the housekeepers welcome is so appreciated.. Again the food is sooooo good and I can always find something great to eat. Everyone is so helpful with smiles and welcomes from the front desk to the dining room and I’ve only been here a week and the amenities get better every day. They treat you the way I deserve to be treated. With PT and OT in house. I have everything I need here. The Harrison is such a beautiful building and the people that work here are exceptional and put love in their performance. I love my new forever home. ❤️

I visited The Harrison recently. It was beautiful, clean and welcoming. The staff at the front desk was welcoming and engaging. The food was good. Lovely home for your loved one.

You can get the same experience by moving to a facility in Lagos and pay a quarter of the price, even with the airfare. Thank you, Harrison, for a timely reminder of why I live in the suburbs.

This place is beautiful!! Walk through the front doors and you will be amazed! Cruise ship feel with the huge atrium…Come see for yourself!!

I love the place! My dad lives here and is so well taken care of! Staff always seems very friendly!

Everyone is always so polite and welcoming. The residents seem very happy to be living there. Taylor and staff keep the memory care unit very clean and the residents always seem to be very well cared for.

LEROY ALLTOP resident Council president- I have lived at The Harrison since 10-31-2023 and I am very happy with the food, activites, staff, and management. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. When a new resident moves in I personally give them a tour of the building and show them the ropes to help introduce them to some of the residents. I highly recommend this facility.

There’s stuff there has safety and well-being of their guests and tenants at the very forefront of their day-to-day operations. I can’t say enough good things about these people. There was a time I came in to see my mother and they had a fall belt around her and were helping her so she would not fall. I did not encourage her to try to do too much by herself without assistance, that works regularly with the rehabilitation team to build her strength back up. Nothing bad about this place at all, good staff, good management, great facility directors. From my heart thank you all for what you’re doing and have done, for me and my mother.

Rosegate truly feels like a second home. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and respect. They genuinely care about the residents and it shows in everything they do. We are so thankful for the compassion and dedication of the entire team.

I wouldn’t even give one star. However, I have too. The rehab and long term care side are gross. Beyond dirty. They run out of clean lines all the time. Had staff yell at our loved one. Let them lay in urine for hrs. The even i went in and had to call 911 for our loved one was awful. QMA couldn’t answer simple questions. She got nasty when i asked symple questions. Couldn’t get anyone to answer the phone when I call in an emergency situation ( evening time). When i arrive staff at the nursing station eating and talking on personal phone calls. Had a Nurse tell me the CNAs all complained about caring for our loved one. Found another resident one the floor. She was by herself in the dinning room. I the family helped the nurse get her off the floor. The night I called 911. I looked at both nurses and said would you of left you mom in tgis situation? They both said No. So if you wouldn’t leave your mom here then why should I leave my loved one? I will come back and add pictures I took and how i would find our loved one. If I didn’t personal give our loved one a shower they wouldn’t of gotten one. Times where food wasn’t given. Another family member witnessed staff yell at our loved one. Called the DON. The one time I actually got to speak to her, I asked if she would like to see the pictures. She said No, i believe you and I am trying. End of story.

My brother was admitted from Franciscan & was doing well. He was at Rosegate for 2 weeks & his health quickly declined. Call lights went unanswered once resulting in a fall. He became very confused & was in bad shape & my concerns fell on deaf ears. He left Rosegate 2-1-26 & was immediately taken to Franciscan Health where he was diagnosed with severe dehydration & COVID. Pure negligence in Rosegate ‘s part. Never let a loved one, or any living creature, set foot in this dump.

As a professional caregiver I’ve spent time in many nursing homes. Rosegate is one I’d be happy to live in, and there are several that I would not ever want to live in. Today I visited three friends there and they all seem to be quite happy with their situations.

Great facility with caring staff. An AMAZING therapy team. It is clean and everyone we met was kind and always did their best.

Horrible place, ignored my father’s needs, food was terrible and was always refused (his roommate quite literally said the food was terrible and has been there for a bit) and now I don’t have a father. If you are thinking about sending anybody to this place think twice they will not get any better.

The Forest Creek staff genuinely care for their residents and it shows! I often see them go on fun outings like fishing, and shopping. The staff is friendly, the building is clean and the residents always appear clean and happy every time I visit.

Forrest Creek Village in Indianapolis is truly an exceptional nursing and rehabilitation facility. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and professionalism of the entire team. The staff is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely cares about each resident’s well-being and dignity. The nursing team is responsive and knowledgeable, always taking the time to answer questions and provide updates. Therapy services are excellent — the therapists are encouraging, patient, and focused on helping residents regain strength and independence. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. What stands out most is the culture. Residents are treated like family, and it shows in the smiles you see in the hallways. Communication with families is clear and consistent, which brings tremendous peace of mind. I would highly recommend Forrest Creek Village to anyone looking for high-quality skilled nursing or rehabilitation care in the Indianapolis area. They truly go above and beyond.

The way ALL the staff cares here is special!!! It brings me joy when I come in and see the nurses and aides having so much compassion for the residents. Danielle the DON goes above and beyond for her residents. She has a great ADON who is the same way when it comes to her residents and their care. You can always find a resident the office of Ashley, Social Work. She visits with residents all day long. Matt, Administrator is great. He is easy to talk to about anything and he always comes through for his team and residents. Housekeeping does a great job keeping the facility clean.

I can't say enough great things about Forest Creek Village – incredible physician/NP group with such a strong and positive presence in the community, clinical leadership is fantastic and has truly improved the care, social services and admissions departments truly care about the residents, and the kitchen puts out amazing food daily without missing a beat. Keep up the great work!

I am a clinical instructor and Forest Creek is one of my clinical sites and I would like to say the facility and staff are amazing. The staff here has been very friendly and accommodating for me and my students. The care the staff provides the resident's is above reproach. They really go above and beyond for each and every resident they care for. I would like to recognize the DON Danielle and the ADON Jennifer for the amount of help they have been at making this site a great experience for my students. I would like to recognize the following nurses for being a great asset to my students, the wealth of knowledge they add to their clinical, and the care the provide the residents: Pangie, Berry, T, Cicily, and Levi. Thanks again Forest Creek staff for the opportunity and privilege of being our clinical site.

The building staff really cares for the residents and their families! Great team in place making awesome changes!

Forest Creek Village staff are simply the BEST! I am impressed daily with the CARE values that they display when caring for residents, or assisting families. Forest Creek Village is an older building, but what it lacks in newer amenities it definitely makes up for in the care provided!

My husband was there for over 5 months. They took great care of him. All the staff was very nice to us. When he was passing they provided us a room where we could be with him. I would recommend this facility to anyone needing memory care. Thank you all so much.

Great staff. All the employees are wonderful. They are very Caring of the Residents And their families. I would recommend them to anyone who is needing this type of healthcare as they age.

My father has late stage dementia and it’s been a tough situation for my family, but I’ve been so impressed by the wonderful care he is given at Washington Healthcare and the memory care unit. Every employee I’ve met is sweet, caring, patient and professional. I know my father is being well taken care of here and we are very thankful for that.

My loved one was at this facility and received great care. I'm not sure why the negative reviews. Our experience was great I would refer anyone who needs a facility for their loved one Washington Healthcare is one to look at. Ask for Mary Jayne. She is phenomenal and truly cares about her patients and their family. She helped so much and is such a blessing.

Wonderful Facility very clean Mary Jane and the crew go above and beyond for their residents

At WHC we are a family! There are so many great staff members that go above and beyond for our Residents. This can be anything from buying them snacks, new glasses, new shoes to buying them new decor they have requested! Let's not forget the care we provide! It is truly exceptional! We all really love our Residents and want them to have the best experience! Follow our FB page to see what adventures we get into😉

I love this staff and the residents and ms. Tammy and Mary Jane is the besttt I lovee themmm!
