Asbury Towers Retirement Community

A Place to Call Home

Asbury Towers, Greencastle's major and oldest continuing retirement community, is designed to accommodate seniors still active after the age of 65. It seeks to provide security, companionship, and relatively comfortable living accommodations within the confines of a small, but enterprising Indiana city.

A safe and secure Christian community where caring and compassion are a way of life.

Our Story

The founders of Asbury Towers, which opened in 1964, were three prominent local sisters inspired by the death of a dear friend used to gentility and refinement, who had needed adequate home care while not ready for hospitalization. Their dream was a pleasant retirement home where older men and women could enjoy interesting lives in their twilight years - independent apartments and condos with security, minimal worry, freedom from property maintenance, and good meals and health care as needed.

Associated with the Indiana United Methodist Church and adjusting to changing lifestyles in the past nearly fifty years by adapting and expanding as resources permitted, Asbury Towers remains small in comparison with for-profit retirement homes in nearby cities. It is not a nursing home, it is not an assisted care facility, it is not a hospital, it is not a day care center for older folks. Rather it is primarily a home for independent individuals and couples seeking to spend the best years of retirement with comfort, stimulation, new and old friends, and creative activity in a middle sized vivacious Hoosier college town.

Testimonials

“My grandmother lived in the Assisted Living Community at Asbury Towers in Greencastle, In., while recovering from a hip fracture. The facility is beautiful, the nurses are amazing, and they even have an Aviary with lots of colorful birds for the residents! The food was amazing, I ate with my grandmother a few times while visiting, and I wanted to stay! The nurses were very attentive, and developed relationships with the residents, which was nice. My Grandmother talked a lot about the nurse who would bring her new baby granddaughter to visit the residents. The care she got at Asbury was excellent, and I would definitely recommend checking into Asbury if you have a relative in need of care in the Greencastle area.”
