BHI SENIOR LIVING history

In 1937, the school assumed the name “Indiana Baptist Home.” That same year, the estate of Emma Downing Wood of Indianapolis became the possession of the home.

It was approximately 1951-52 when welfare agencies adopted a policy of placing children with foster families instead of sending them to homes such as the Indiana Baptist Home.

On July 12, 1952, the home officially opened its doors to older adults, and within a short period of time, the home was serving only older adults.

Originally founded in 1961, Wesley Manor offers a continuum of on-site health care options such as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services.

The organization completed construction and opened Four Seasons in Columbus, Indiana, in 1967.

In 2002 the alliance was cited by the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission in its annual “Best Practices” recognition program.

The Barrington opened its doors in 2014 and immediately established itself as the best-in-class Life Plan Community in Carmel, Indiana.

In January 2018, Roger was named Senior Vice-President and CFO. Prior to joining BHI, Roger served five years as a managing consultant with BKD LLP (Thomas Healthcare Consulting Inc.) in Indianapolis.
