Homestead At Hickory View sits at 1481 Marbach Dr in Washington, Missouri, and offers a friendly place for seniors who want a retirement community with both independent and assisted living options, and there are also memory care and nursing services, so folks dealing with dementia such as Alzheimer's can get the help they need, and the staff there is known for being caring and helpful, treating residents more like family. The facility looks clean and comfortable with modern and well-kept apartments, and cottage homes are also an option for those who like a little more space. People can choose from senior cottages, independent living apartments, and assisted living units, which all have things like kitchenettes, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and washers and dryers, plus patios or balconies for fresh air.
Residents have access to outdoor spaces like a courtyard, walking paths, and raised garden beds, along with inside spaces for socializing, such as a movie theater, lounge, game room, card rooms, and places to worship or meditate, which means there's usually something to do or somewhere to go if someone feels up to it. The activity program is full, with both onsite and offsite outings, and the staff works to keep things interesting by switching up the menu with seasonal foods and offering activities based on what residents like. They respect the personalities and preferences of all who live there, and the atmosphere tends to feel both lively and respectful.
Meals come with the stay and are served restaurant-style, and there's a private dining room if someone wants to celebrate with family, plus beauty and barber services onsite, so folks don't have to go far to feel presentable. Therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available, and the team can help with medication, personal care, and health needs, which really matters for those choosing to age in place. There's scheduled transportation for medical appointments, shopping, and social outings, so if someone wants to check out the local parks, vineyards, or go for church, the ride can be arranged.
Everyone can park their car if they still drive, and both cats and dogs are welcome since the place is pet-friendly, but nobody can smoke inside, not in public areas nor private ones, which keeps the air clean for all. Amenities include fast internet, a library, and emergency call systems in apartments for peace of mind. The overall feeling is of a community that tries to support residents in living how they wish, with the right amount of help to keep folks safe and engaged as they get older, and the staff is always around, day or night, to offer whatever level of assistance is needed in a way that doesn't get in the way of independence. Resident feedback shapes programs, so people living there have a say. The vibe tends to be settled and neighborly, with people helping each other out and staff that make things as easy as possible.
