Hickory Glen

Hickory Glen is a retirement community for older adults that has independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and continuing care options, so residents can stay as needs change, and people can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, all of which are spacious and include a full kitchen, making daily living feel more like home, and if someone has a pet, those are allowed too. The building has a lot of common areas, like a lobby, lounges, a bistro, a library, a media center, a theater, and both indoor and outdoor spaces where residents gather for cards, games, movies, luncheons, coffee tastings, and arts and crafts, plus there's a country store on-site for everyday needs and biweekly grocery runs, which makes errands a little easier. Residents have access to a fitness center, personal trainers, exercise classes, and wellness programs, and the staff organize activities that support physical, mental, and emotional health; the community also runs blood pressure screenings and has housing features to help reduce confusion or wandering for those who need memory care. Meals are served restaurant-style, with a Five Star Chef menu and many heart-healthy, nutritious, and flavorful choices, and there's a wait staff that serves the tables, so dining is comfortable and easy, and residents can enjoy meals with others in a social setting. The staff provide housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and there's parking for those who drive, plus services like occupational and physical therapy on-site, and if someone needs non-medical companionship or help at home, trained aides are available. People can get a haircut or beauty service at the on-site barbershop and beauty salon, and specialized programs and dedicated spaces are set up with the needs of seniors in mind, so residents with dementia or Alzheimer's have support and safety features like smoke detectors and sprinkler systems throughout. Hickory Glen is a clean, well-kept place where older adults can make friends, join new activities every day from the bulletin board, and get support from staff that are described as helpful, joyful, and kind, and with a variety of care levels and amenities designed for comfort and convenience, it offers a place where seniors can live with both independence and help when needed.
