The Best Senior Living Communities in Hickory, NC

"We visited Burke Long Term Care for my sister. It's assisted living, it was nice, and it was a very, old established place. The person who gave us the tour was very nice and showed us everything. The rooms were nice, too. It was a very small place, and I can't remember how many residents they had, but it was good. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful. The rooms were for two people and had single beds. They were kind of small, but they were nice. They also have a recreation room where they read, play games, watch TV, or do whatever they want to do."

"I toured Denver Family Care Home. It was just a house with six people and a caretaker. It was absolutely lovely and so pristine. The person who is the 14-day on and 14-day off staff member who was present was wonderful, available, and informative. She didn't even know we were coming. The residents were clean. Their rooms were clean. The house was clean. Everyone was eating and having breakfast and going about their day. It's very organized. It's a lovely place. I wish it was a good fit for my father-in-law, but unfortunately not. If he needed assisted living, it would be perfect."

"Gardens of Statesville & Cardinal Village had comparable amenities and activities with the other place. We liked the big private dining room for families if you want to have a family get-together. I like the big lobby when you walk into the building with the piano and the entertainment area. They were under renovation, so you had to have a little bit of imagination about what it was going to look like when they got finished, but that didn't bother me. I think Mom would have done fine there, but the other place was less expensive and quicker to get into. They had the same kind of amenities and services that the other place does. And for memory care, they had a separate facility for activities. Their dining area was very good, too."

"We were able to get my mom into Brookdale East Broad. They seem to be a little bit more fitted for her. Their price was pretty much all-inclusive, and I was able to get her in quickly. She wanted a private room. I like the way the staff do their meds and I like their experience. They help her with activities. They got assistants that help with that. They got everything that Mom needs. They have a hair salon, a PT area, an activities room, and a screened-in porch on the back that she can sit on. So far, we're getting everything that we need."

"The staff at Brookdale Peachtree was very knowledgeable. I met people that had been there for 16 to 20 years, so they had staff who liked working there. And they were fully staffed, they were not looking for employees. The rooms were very nice. They showed me a model room as well as an empty room, which is a possibility for my mom. There's one room that had a door that went out to the courtyard, so that was very nice as well. The staff gave me an example of what activities they do in a month. They gave me a calendar of what they had planned this month, there were various things every day from music to arts and crafts to, all different kinds of things."

"Brookdale Peachtree was beautiful and clean. The patients had the freedom to just roam. The rooms were nice and spacious. They had their own bathrooms in their rooms. They have so many activities. The staff was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable, and helpful in what next step I needed to take for my mom. The dining room was spacious. They could get around really easily in there, even with walkers. It was set up like a restaurant."

"My father is in memory care at Peninsula Family Care Home, and it's very good. The rooms were very nice, furnished, and very clean. This is a small six-bed family home. It has a family room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a breakfast area. The staff is very good. Because it's small with only six beds, it's very individualized type of care. There are no amenities. They have some activities that they try to do with the residents, such as playing some games or doing puzzles or something, but it's not like your typical assisted living that has 100 beds or so."

"We toured Cadence Mooresville. They have a lot of activities and a lot of people. Everyone seemed to be pretty happy and we were positive about them. It's both assisted living and memory care. The community was clean and very nice, and it was good. The rooms were big. The tour guide was very nice and bubbly."

"I like the Kingston Residence of Hickory. Pets are accepted. They staffed it very well, which is important. You could do your own laundry. There are nurses on site 24/7. Like the other communities, they have a van that will take you to appointments within 10 miles. Another thing I like is that, since my sister lives up in New York, if she came to visit me, she could stay over in my apartment. The smallest apartment has a kitchenette. Their menu looked quite delicious. They have monthly activities that they do. The staff was very good. The place was very nice."

"I cannot properly express my gratitude for the care that was given to my Mom from the time she arrived at the end of February 2017 to when she peacefully passed away on June 10th of this year. There were many challenges with my Mom but your wonderful staff met every last one. She THRIVED there and I will always praise and recommend Hickory Village Memory Care. The employees there make a HUGE difference, not only in the lives of the residents, but also in the lives of their families. I never had to worry about my Mom while she was under your care and She was always in a happy mood when I visited. I truly thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. "

"The rooms are adequate. I was in a semi-private room and my roommate was a sweetheart. The bed had several issues with the remote and horizontal lift. Staff was responsive to my needs. I enjoyed bingo & pizza party as activities. Amenities include bird enclosure with the tiniest birds. The whole facility was clean and inviting."

"I am on my 3rd year as a volunteer there and would like to say I have never seen love for one another such as I do at ALP . Its so wonderful to know these people are cared for in such a way as they are . The staff gives the love and care in the absence of the family. Adult Life Programs could be a role model for other facilities and even families to live by . Thank you Adult Life Programs for being part of my life . You certainly are wonderful people . My wife and I love you all . "

"The staff took really great care of my mom the four times that she's had to stay there."

"I visited a friend of ours at Trinity Village in Hickory. She's in their assisted living. The place was very nice. It's clean. It's decorated very pretty, and there's no bad smell. All the time, I see on Facebook that they do activities with their people. It's just overall a good place, and the staff was great. They do all kinds of arts and crafts and have all kinds of functions going on for the residents."
