Life Care Center of Hickory Woods

Life Care Center of Hickory Woods offers several types of care for seniors in a setting that feels homelike and relaxed, where folks find options like independent living for healthy, active seniors who want a simple life with plenty of social chances, assisted living for those who need help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and keeping track of medicine, and memory care that's set up for people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, where rooms and routines help lessen confusion and keep everyone safe from wandering. The center has trained aides who'll visit homes to offer help and companionship, and for those who need care after surgery or for a longer time, skilled nursing staff are there all day and night to help with health needs. Meals there are planned to be both tasty and balanced, and there's a steady stream of activities for folks to connect with each other, stay active, use their minds, and feel good emotionally, which some families find calming because sometimes the days can get long. For those who need physical or speech therapy, or help getting better after time in the hospital, the place has inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation with modern equipment like the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill®, Biodex Balance System SD, and the VitalStim® therapy system, and the in-house team makes care plans to fit each person's health goals. People say the staff stays joyful, helpful, and kind, which builds a friendly, supportive mood. Life Care Center of Hickory Woods also has a focus on learning for both staff and residents, with programs for Certified Nursing Assistant training, resources for care, follow-up education online, and ways to connect people with vendors and other facilities. Jamie Hercules is the executive director. Whether someone's looking for a maintenance-free place to stay, memory care, home visits, or rehabilitation, you'll find several choices, all planned around what each person needs and wants, in buildings that aim to be comfortable without feeling too much like a hospital.
