Village of Merici — Central Indiana

Where Belonging Builds Independence

Providing an innovative approach to support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities focused on independent living.

This is what a village looks like.

Three locations in and around central Indiana. Dozens of programs each week. More than a decade of work, done together by the people we support, our coaches, our families, and our neighbors.

What We Do

Three Ways We Walk Alongside Our Neighbors

Services

A coach walks alongside each person, one to one, helping with the everyday skills of an independent life. From making a sandwich to managing a budget, every step belongs to the person taking it. We are an approved Medicaid Waiver provider.

A Place to Call Home

Three communities in and around Indianapolis, designed for adults with disabilities to live in homes that are truly their own. Apartments, condominiums, friendships across the hallway. We surround each resident with the support that fits them.
