Hickory Hills Alzheimer’s Special Care Center

Pat

My mother has moved into Hickory Hills Alzheimer's Special Care Center. They're very in touch and personal with each resident. They keep them very active and treat them like family. They play games. They have old movies that they watch. They give them literature to read. The rooms are very good-sized, and they have restrooms in their rooms.

My husband will be moving into Hickory Hills Alzheimer's Special Care Center. The tour experience was very nice. We went through the whole building and outside (except the kitchen). The thing I liked most about it is that it was small. They only had 44 people there yesterday. It's very cozy. It's like being home almost. The staff was very well informed. She knew what she was talking about. The rooms were very cozy, very nice, and very clean. The whole place was very neat and clean. The dining area was very nice and had tables for four. There's a little TV room. I felt like it's a safe place. I felt like there's no way he could leave the building without them being aware that the door is open, so that was good. There wasn't anything I could say that I didn't like about it or the staff that I met.

We chose Hickory Hills in Hendersonville for my husband because it just seemed more appropriate for him. He's only been there a little while, but I'm very pleased with everything so far. The staff is great. As far as I know, the food is good, but I've not eaten there. It's very clean and nice. I haven't gone into his room, but the floor plans looked nice. This is all still new, but I am extremely pleased with the way they treat him and care for him. I know that at Christmas they did gingerbread houses. They do crosswords and they do games. The family is not involved in the activities.

My parents are in Hickory Hills Alzheimer’s Special Care Center. It's a secure memory care facility. It's open, airy, light, and very nice, and I immediately felt comfortable there. The staff is really good and seems to really care about the patients and dedicated to the facility. The other facilities that I visited were more clinical feeling and felt more inviting. The food appears pretty good, and their menus seem pretty varied. They do 3 meals a day plus snacks in between. They're very concerned about the patients not losing weight. They're very proactive in making sure that patients are getting enough to drink, staying hydrated and that they're eating good food. They have a fairly busy calendar of activities every day of the week. They encourage the residents to participate, but they do not mandate that they participate. Some of the activities are puzzles, games, crafts, and other activities that they invite families to participate such as meals or parties.

My friend is in Hickory Hills Alzheimer's Special Care Center. I love it. It's wonderful. The staff is great. They have a hair salon where she also gets her nails done, and they go on outings. The food is really good. She has her own room. There's a fireplace room, pet therapy, entertainment, live music, and bible study. They have a lot going on there. Everybody is very nice and very friendly. It's a beautiful facility, very clean, and nice.

They helped when we were in crisis. Louise was especially helpful. I wish they had more itactivities for higher functioning people. The food is good but my mom wishes she could say whether she mywants ketchup or not. They also need more outings as once a week doesn’t cut it for my mkm. She is a little stir crazy. My momma momalso doemoI’m like having a roommate but the cost for a private room is prohibitive for us. It is a beautiful place.
