Kingston Residence of Hickory sits in a peaceful setting with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers several levels of care for seniors, so you'll find independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even short-term stay options all in one place, and they have private, newly renovated apartments and spacious common areas like lounges, game rooms, and a beautiful courtyard where people like to relax or chat. Folks can enjoy their own kitchens and kitchenettes, along with easy-to-use washers and dryers while the staff handles regular housekeeping and laundry, and they keep things safe with a sprinkler system and helpful features for anyone with limited mobility, with wide doors, handrails, and accessible entrances and lobbies. Residents get daily meals made with quality ingredients and Kingston's well-known dining room, which has a good reputation for tasty food, offers spots to sit together and catch up with friends, and there's always staff on hand, since there's 24/7 care, personal care assistants, and an on-site nurse practitioner if anyone needs help or medical support.
People living here stay connected with free Wi-Fi and cable TV, and when it's time for a haircut or a trim, there's a salon and barbershop right inside the building, and activity rooms and gathering spaces fill up with arts and crafts, educational programs, social clubs, or devotional activities, so nobody really has to feel bored or alone unless they want some quiet time. There's a fitness center for those who want to keep moving and wellness programs to help everyone stay as healthy as possible, while games, group trips off-site, and regular community events offer even more ways to stay involved and active. Staff gives a hand with transportation, dry cleaning, and basic maintenance, and there's guest parking outside for family or visitors, as well as pet-friendly rules so dogs and cats are welcome, making things more like home.
The community serves elders needing a little or a lot of assistance, especially those living with dementia or Alzheimer's in the secured memory care area, where routines and therapy can help make daily life easier, and in case a resident needs a short-term stay-such as while recovering from an illness or when a caregiver needs a break-Kingston offers comfortable guest accommodations and respite support. Safety is important, so the whole three-story building has fire protection, easy navigation for wheelchairs, and caring staff around; plus, they have options for people with long-term care insurance. Residents can count on a regular activity calendar, and people notice the friendly staff, the southern hospitality, and a focus on helping everyone keep their independence as long as possible. The location near local sights, scenery, and attractions means there's more to do outside if someone's interested, making this a straightforward and welcoming spot where seniors can get care and still enjoy a busy, connected life.
