We went to see Hickory Valley a couple of different times, and they were great. The staff was very friendly and very informative. The residents were friendly. We had food from there and it tasted wonderful. It was an older facility, but that would not be a drawback because the people that live there have been there for many, many years. They had a courtyard, a movie room, and a salon. They also had a nice dining area.

We chose to have my friend at Hickory Valley, just because of our interactions with the staff when we first met. We believe that they wanted the best for her and they were willing to work with us to find a way to get her in and we just appreciate them. They genuinely care. There are zero complaints from the time you enter the place, from the different sitting areas to the different activities, down to their bathroom. I couldn't ask for something better. I've eaten there a few times and I have no complaints about the food, too. Everybody that I see there enjoys it. I can't believe the amount the activities that they do there to try to keep an active environment and inclusion.

This is a wonderful, clean, & friendly facility! The staff are so kind, supportive, & concerned about each resident. There's always something to do whether it's Bingo, music entertainment, or outings. The staff is extremely professional, caring, & always available. Thanks to them for all they do.

Hickory Valley was okay and it was fine. We went there during their lunchtime and what they did during their lunchtime is, instead of people going up to get their food, they were bringing their food to them, which was fine, except that they were bringing them in carryout containers. I did not like that part. The place is independent and assisted living combined. I like the courtyard that they have there but their furnishings were a little dark. I think that if they had been brighter, it would be nice but everything seemed to be very dark. We went during lunch and it didn't seem very bright. That part I did not like. They had community washers and dryers but I am not into that and would just prefer having it where I can just go and wash whenever I want it. It was also somewhere you had to kind of get around for that. They had a place where they had some available extra fitness equipment. Some dressers were out and visible as people were walking by. They weren't like in an activity room or isolated in any way. They did not have drawer knobs on it so I thought that was quite odd. The location is within 10 minutes of being downtown. It wasn't that far. It was also near a mall.

Hickory Valley was well built. They have an apartment that they're going to renovate for me to move into. They offer good meals. They have a lot of other attractions such as some exercise equipment and a game room. The rooms are a good size, and the room I'm going to get is convenient for me. It was not expensive. The staff members were great, informative, helpful, and courteous.

My mother is at Hickory Valley. She is doing OK. We are very happy there. Right now, she is in independent living, and starting next week she will have some assistance with bathing and dressing. We love it there. I would describe it for independent living people and independent with some level of assistance. Everybody is very sweet, kind, and nice. The staff is wonderful. They are very kind, patient, and very supportive of my mother. They have a dining restaurant, a workout facility, all kinds of activities, and a beautiful courtyard. They have just about everything that a senior community has. They have a bridge and bingo. They've got something going on all the time. They have chair exercises, crafts, sing, travelling out, and they go to lunch once a week too. Because of COVID dining is very hard, but they are now starting to get back to dining room dining. They have just been very kind and welcoming. They call every day to check on her. They go and see her. They're just very nice people, and it's a good atmosphere.

My father is in Hickory Valley. They charge you extra for everything you get. It's $3000 a month and everything is extra. They clean his apartment once a week and some of them aren't able to do that. The staff is nice; I have no complaints about them. They have a nursing staff there 24/7.

Mom is at Hickory Valley Retirement. We chose this for her because she liked it better. The most attractive thing about the facility is the friendliness of everyone. There are a lot of common areas where the residents can get together. She is at the facility for about a month now, and they have been doing picnics, shopping, bingo, and other different games.

I thought Hickory Valley Retirement was a real nice place. The only reason that I wasn’t that interested in it at the time was that they only provided one meal with the rent, and I was looking for some place with 3 meals rather than just one. I thought the rooms were nice. They take trips to different places; they go out to maybe lunch once a month or so, and there are activities in the buildings themselves.
