History

Built in 1868, the Hendricks County Poor Asylum in Danville is one of the last and oldest continuously operating county homes in Indiana. Now known as Cypress Manor, the facility is managed by Hendricks Regional Health through an innovative agreement with the county, which continues to own the building.

The Hendricks County Home is a unique housing facility in a historic home-like setting. Surrounded by flower gardens, spacious lawns, and large trees, the Home offers a relaxed country-like environment with a full line of services for independent or assisted living. With professional nurse consultants, as well as an experienced staff of caregivers, residents are assured of safe and comfortable housing as well as particular attention to individual needs.[1]
