My mother-in-law stayed at the assisted living in The Hickman before rehab. The rooms were clean and adequate, and the place was clean. My mother-in-law was getting very settled in and happy there. The staff was very accommodating. The dining area was very clean and the food was good for me, but my mother-in-law didn't love it. They had a book club, they took them on the bus to go shopping, and on trips during the day. The cost was comparative to everyone else.

I visited this facility
The Hickman is a Quaker-affiliated community. A friend of my wife recommended this place to us. Our visit there was very pleasant. It was a good place. We like it. We had lunch there and the food was good. It was an older facility but it seemed to be very comfortable and clean. I like best how well organized and well laid out the facility was. It was just a nice community. It has a number of amenities; however, it is a little far away from here. Nevertheless, location-wise, it is close by the university and it is in the town itself, so it is easy to walk around there. We saw the types of rooms that we might have in the facility. There was a bit of shock on how much we have to downsize, but that would be the case no matter where we went.

The Hickman was close to where my parents live. Very caring individuals, they took time to talk and listen to what I have to say, and also offered suggestions. The rooms were very nice even though it was an older building. They had a couple of rooms available that time, but they could not hold them for my mom.

My grandparents have lived in this assisted living facility for about the last three years. Although one has since passed away upon arriving due to natural causes my other grandparent has happily lived there since arriving. The Hickman offers personal apartments for all of its residents which includes dining for all meals and monitoring of its residents in case any problems occur. Along with checkups and meals The Hickman also offers activities and events for the residents to stay active and meet more people in the facility which promotes a much friendlier atmosphere. In case any of the retired residents become injured or sick there is a separate wing of the facility to cater to these individuals with nurses checking up on them making sure their needs are met. The Hickman has been great to my grandparents since they have moved in. I believe that it would be a positive experience for anyone seeking an assisted living facility and I would recommend it.
