American Village has not published its pricing. For context, communities in Indianapolis that publish rates start around $3,200 per month at the median. Final costs depend on care needs and apartment selection, so contact the community for a quote.

American Village is located at 2026 East 54th St in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Reviews of American Village are sharply divided: many families praise the independent living side (Lincoln Lodge), rehab outcomes, and individual staff members who go above and beyond, while a substantial number of reviewers describe serious lapses in the skilled nursing/health care side, including staffing shortages, medication errors, and slow management response to concerns. Google raters give it 3.9/5, but the pattern of one-star reviews focuses heavily on care quality and communication rather than ambiance.

American Village had 5 government inspection visits in the last three years, with 73 citations on file according to CMS Care Compare data. The full history, including what each citation was for and whether it was corrected, is in the inspection section on this page.
