The Arc at Hickory Point

Christina

I went to The Arc at Hickory Point. I didn't think, for the price, that they had everything to offer, like other facilities. I just saw the apartment, and she showed me a few sitting areas, but they didn't have the activities I thought my grandmother would like. You didn't see but one activity room. It was very clean, but you didn't see a big room other than the dining room, which was engaging. They had a studio that was very, very small, and that would not work, but the one-bedroom apartment they showed me was very nice and spacious. They have a beauty shop, but I couldn't think it had the activities my grandmother needed for the price. The staff who gave the tour was very kind. They gave me a thorough look at everything.

I am going to Hickory Point Christian Village. Assisted living is the level of care I'm going into. I like the location. It's in a good part of the Decatur area and it's on a dead-end road, so there won't be people driving through a lot unless they work there or live there. I like that because I use a motorized wheelchair and I'm going to enjoy riding all around those sidewalks. The aesthetics of it were very nice. They're redoing some remodeling right now. It just seemed like a very homey and nice place. The admissions person has been wonderful to work with, Allison. She's been very, very kind the two times that I've been there. I'm going with a studio apartment and it was larger than the one facility I looked at. There's Christian persuasion, meaning that they have a chaplain that does services and devotions, and I like that. There are lots of good plusses. I haven't tried the food yet, but that's not too critical for me because I'm only going to eat a small portion of it anyway. I'm on a special eating plan and I'll be eating some of theirs and some of mine. Whatever they do will be great with me. It's a very beautiful facility, and they had nice landscaping. Every time I mention to someone that I'm going there, they speak very highly of it. They get a good reputation in the community.

We went to Hickory Point Christian Village. However, they didn't have a room for my mother-in-law when she broke her leg. They showed us around and everything. It was a gorgeous place. It was one of the newest ones, and everybody wanted to go there, but they just didn't have room. When they told us they didn't have a room at the rehab unit, we didn't really push through it. However, now we couldn't use it because they don't accept Medicaid, but that was our No. 1 choice. We liked the location. It's maybe 4 or 5 minutes for us to get there, and it was newer. They were wonderful, very helpful, and apologetic because they didn't have a room for her. They did call us later and told us that they had a space, but by then we had already moved her to the other place.

The staff at Hickory is warm and friendly and make my grandmother feel comfortable and even like she is amongst family when we aren't there. They nurses are very knowledgeable and always have a helping hand ready to assist with her needs. They don't hesitate to answer questions and always seem available. The facility is beautiful and serene. I never feel the surroundings are dirty in fact the seem very clean and even smell fresh. I've never feared leaving my grandmother in there care. The time they spend with her helps her adjust very well to our visits and when we leave. Her advanced stage of dementia has taken a toll on the family but with the care she receives at the family we at least don't have to worry when we have to leave her. They are accurate with dispensing her medicine and quick to let us know if they believe there is a problem. The feel of the facility is more of a home than a hospital.
