Hickory Park Senior Living sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and offers a range of services for people 55 and older, whether they need assisted living, independent living, or memory care. Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom single-story apartment homes, all with kitchenettes, private bathrooms with walk-in showers and grab bars, spacious closets, and window treatments, plus extra storage space. Each home has safety features, emergency call systems, and resident-controlled heating and air conditioning. The staff includes licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants, activities staff, and caregivers, all giving 24-hour support and regular daily check-ins. The caregiving team helps with medication, dressing, bathing, and other daily needs, but also encourages residents to keep as much independence as possible.
The community's set up for both privacy and social time. There are welcoming living rooms with fireplaces for chats, a community room, a residents' lounge, and a family dining room where friends and relatives can join in meals. The bright and spacious main dining room serves three chef-inspired, home-cooked meals every day, and people regularly dine together. Residents can use the beauty salon and barber, the library, the rehabilitation gym, the Jacuzzi spa, the sunroom, and the patio area. Outside, there are walking paths and maintained lawns, with landscaping and snow clearing handled by the facility. All utilities, like electricity, water, garbage, and internet/Wi-Fi, are included, and weekly housekeeping and laundry services keep things tidy.
Scheduled transportation helps residents get to local museums, shops, or restaurants, and outings and day trips are common. There's always something planned on the events calendar, from morning fitness, bingo, card games, music under the stars, and themed events, to group exercise, gardening when the weather's right, and bus trips to community events. People gather for cards or meals or walk with friends, and the staff encourages family and neighbors to join in. For those living with Alzheimer's or other dementia, special amenities, customized care plans, and memory care support are available.
The facility is secure with elevators and 24-hour building security. Private apartments come with kitchenettes and extra storage, and the maintenance staff keeps the building and grounds safe. There is always a team of caregivers available, with a licensed nurse managing care. Hickory Park Senior Living is part of the Encore Senior Living family and offers continuing care retirement community options and skilled nursing services, so residents can get more help when they need it. The atmosphere feels cozy and family-friendly, and the staff helps people get just the right level of support, letting everyone enjoy life and stay active, whether that means playing cards, going for a walk, taking a bus trip, or just having coffee with a neighbor.
