Our Mission


Since 1979, United Senior Action of Indiana has been uniting older Hoosiers into a powerful voice to impact policies affecting our lives and our communities. We are an Indiana-based organization with our officers, volunteers and operations right here in Indiana.

Together we work on issues such as:

  • nursing home quality and reform
  • alternatives to nursing homes including home and community-based care
  • utility and telephone rates
  • prescription drug prices, and more

Public policy decisions should not be made for seniors, they should be made by seniors. This belief is at the heart of our mission.  People join our organization because they are passionate about the issues. Our members get as involved as they choose - from writing letters, to participating in public meetings, to walking the halls at the State Capitol.
