We appreciate your open door policy. When I had to make decisions about my brother’s care that were difficult for me, I appreciated most the kindness I received from all of the staff.

Hickory Creek at Gaston
Gaston is about 10 miles north west of Muncie. Its beehive kilns once produced drainage tiles, made from the local clay, that were used throughout Indiana to develop and maintain farmland.
Hickory Creek at Gaston has 75 licensed beds and has provided compassionate care to adults with developmental disabilities from communities all across Indiana since 1982. Unlike our other skilled nursing homes that cater to an elderly population, Gaston has residents that range from 18 years on up to seniors. We provide a continuous active treatment program designed to assist each individual in attaining his or her maximum level of independence.
How do I access services at Hickory Creek at Gaston?
Call us at 765-358-3324 and we will be happy to walk you through the procedures for dealing with the local Bureau of Developmental Disability Services Office (BDDS) and help you with your application. Or, if you prefer, we can give you their telephone number. Please contact us if you would like more detailed information about our services. We want you to feel comfortable about the decision you are making for yourself or for a loved one.
