Hickory Creek at Sunset

My husband had broken his hip, so I had to find a place for him fast. I had put him in one place, which was a good place, but it was really rather expensive, so I had to get something that was a little cheaper and still had a good rating. And caring.com gave me Hickory Creek; I went over and checked it out, and I thought, "Well, it is small, it's OK, the price was definitely right, and it still has a good rating." So I moved him into there, and he seems to be doing well. He has Alzheimer's, he is in the last stages, and he is actually kind of laughing a lot and interacting with people more than he did, so this is a really nice place. The staff is absolutely fine. They already know my name, they know his name, and it is just great. The only reason I give them a four is because they don't have soft drinks, and my husband enjoys soft drinks.

Hickory Creek was a decent facility for the most part. The staff were very kind. However, to exit the building, you had to punch in a code on a keypad. The code was changed every day. When I would go to leave, there was never anyone at the front desk, therefore I could not get out of the building until I searched around and found someone or another visitor was kind enough to let me know the exit code for the day. Another issue is that I found the patient rooms way to small. My Uncle was in a two-individual room, and both of them barely had room to walk around their beds.
