IHCA, or the Indiana Health Care Association, is the largest trade association and advocate for skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and independent living in Indiana. Their mission is to educate, inform, and advocate on behalf of health care providers, consumers, and those who care for Indiana's geriatric and developmentally disabled citizens. Skilled Nursing Facilities under IHCA provide highly skilled medical and therapy services in a home-like environment for residents with complex health care needs.

Assisted Living Communities, on the other hand, offer residents more independence and social engagement opportunities while still providing daily care assistance. IHCA also partners with numerous businesses and vendors in the senior living sector, ranging from medical supplies to food and entertainment services. IHCA offers a wide range of services, including regulatory and clinical compliance support, payment and reimbursement resources, workforce development programs, professional development opportunities, and quality improvement initiatives.

They also host various events, training sessions, and symposiums to enhance knowledge and skills in the industry. By becoming an IHCA member, you can benefit from their advocacy services, access resources and expertise, connect with job candidates, and receive guidance and education to improve operations and resident experiences.
