Hickory Valley

I am only in the beginning process of looking for an independent living place for myself, and I haven't decided on anything yet. However, I found that Hickory Valley checks in with me if I don't call them first, they are exceptionally great with follow-up, they have promptly answered all my questions, even a lengthy "questionnaire" I put together so I could ask all my questions at the same time. They definitely impressed me without being "pushy." So far I have "warm feelings" about them.

We went to see Hickory Valley a couple of different times, and they were great. The staff was very friendly and very informative. The residents were friendly. We had food from there and it tasted wonderful. It was an older facility, but that would not be a drawback because the people that live there have been there for many, many years. They had a courtyard, a movie room, and a salon. They also had a nice dining area.

We chose to have my friend at Hickory Valley, just because of our interactions with the staff when we first met. We believe that they wanted the best for her and they were willing to work with us to find a way to get her in and we just appreciate them. They genuinely care. There are zero complaints from the time you enter the place, from the different sitting areas to the different activities, down to their bathroom. I couldn't ask for something better. I've eaten there a few times and I have no complaints about the food, too. Everybody that I see there enjoys it. I can't believe the amount the activities that they do there to try to keep an active environment and inclusion.

This is a wonderful, clean, & friendly facility! The staff are so kind, supportive, & concerned about each resident. There's always something to do whether it's Bingo, music entertainment, or outings. The staff is extremely professional, caring, & always available. Thanks to them for all they do.

Hickory Valley was okay and it was fine. We went there during their lunchtime and what they did during their lunchtime is, instead of people going up to get their food, they were bringing their food to them, which was fine, except that they were bringing them in carryout containers. I did not like that part. The place is independent and assisted living combined. I like the courtyard that they have there but their furnishings were a little dark. I think that if they had been brighter, it would be nice but everything seemed to be very dark. We went during lunch and it didn't seem very bright. That part I did not like. They had community washers and dryers but I am not into that and would just prefer having it where I can just go and wash whenever I want it. It was also somewhere you had to kind of get around for that. They had a place where they had some available extra fitness equipment. Some dressers were out and visible as people were walking by. They weren't like in an activity room or isolated in any way. They did not have drawer knobs on it so I thought that was quite odd. The location is within 10 minutes of being downtown. It wasn't that far. It was also near a mall.

Hickory Valley was well built. They have an apartment that they're going to renovate for me to move into. They offer good meals. They have a lot of other attractions such as some exercise equipment and a game room. The rooms are a good size, and the room I'm going to get is convenient for me. It was not expensive. The staff members were great, informative, helpful, and courteous.
