Hickory Creek at Sunset

Hickory Creek at Sunset is a senior living community located in Greencastle, Indiana, offering short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, respite care, and hospice care. The community is operated by American Senior Communities and focuses on providing person-centered care designed to meet individual needs through an interdisciplinary team approach.

Short-term rehabilitation services are designed to help residents restore abilities following stroke, cardiovascular difficulties, orthopedic surgery, and other debilitating conditions. These programs include physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies, with the goal of helping residents return home safely with the independence and skills needed to continue life on their own terms. The Road to Recovery program allows the interdisciplinary team, patient, and family to meet within 72 hours of admission to identify discharge goals. Services also include wound care, fall prevention, mobility training, strength-building programs, and aerobic conditioning.

Long-term care is available for those who struggle with daily tasks and can no longer be cared for at home due to illness, injury, frailty, or other limitations. Under physician guidance, long-term care is provided by licensed nurses, specially-trained health care aides, and an interdisciplinary care team. Services include physical, occupational, and speech therapies to help residents maintain the highest level of independence possible, along with social services and activities. The community provides home-like, cheerful, and secure settings designed to ensure quality of life for residents.

Respite care services offer short-term stays for elderly individuals, allowing home caregivers time to travel, start new jobs, recuperate from illness, or pursue other interests. The community carefully examines the needs of respite guests and provides the appropriate level of care to make stays comfortable and enjoyable.

Hospice and palliative care services are designed to provide comfort, pain relief, and support for those facing terminal illness. The community partners with local hospice companies to offer comprehensive services including skilled nursing care, spiritual and bereavement counseling, medical equipment and supplies, social services, and pharmacy services. An interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, aides, volunteers, social workers, and clergy supports both patients and their families.

The community accepts a variety of payment options including private pay and Medicaid for qualified applicants, with Medicaid specialists available to assist families through the application process.
