Hickory Senior Living

Great experience so far. Staff are wonderful.

This has been a very positive experience for us. We've found the staff easy to work with and helpful and the care has been excellent.

I was very impressed with the kind, caring personnel at Country Cottage. Each staff member took time to listen to my questions and provide good information. I also noticed that they spoke to any resident they saw, calling them by name and asking about them personally. The facility was extremely clean and nicely decorated - very comfortable. I feel good about moving my Mom to Country Cottage and know she will enjoy her new friends and home very much.

Very Clean; Friendly Staff with me & the residents; Each room has accessible full baths; Pull cord for emergencies near bed & in bath; Secured building and outdoors; Field trips planned such as fishing & swimming pool; Cost based on size of room & level of care needed starting at $2,000 which includes everything except cable & phone extra. Will furnish transportation to doctor Tues. & Wed. included in cost. Other days have a fee. Will refill medication and dispense as instructed. Will do laundry. Stay is per month only. Can move out with 30 day notice. Has 27 rooms. Cost $500 to be put on waiting list which is applied to the cost of room. Can accept or reject when the room becomes available.

Short staffing prevents some tasks. Mom doesn't particularly enjoy the food. Most staff are very nice & patient with Mom, but some are noticeably and known by all to be rude to residents, yet they are still there. There have been several medication slip ups and confusion. Would like to see some outings. Overall we like it for Mom, and she's gained so much independence. It's small & just the right size facility for her.

The day shift staff is good, but there is not much attention with night shift. There is also not much daily activity. However, what we like the most about Seabrook Pointe is that it is a secure facility, and day shift seems more attentive. A little more daily activity with residents...less parked in front of tv. Overall, we would recommend this community to other families.

To be honest, the staff was friendly when I was there but they do not look in on dementia/alzheimer residents like they should. If someone wants to put a loved one there for that I do not recommend them.

The only issue I have with this place is that I live out of state and contacting them when I need to speak with someone can be challenging.

My dad is at Magnolia Manor and doing well! I would rate a 4 on everything except #5.Administrative staff. For that one, I would rate a 3. They are friendly but some times it's hard to get a hold of someone or they're slow to respond. That's been a little difficult since my sister and I live in a different state. The staff and other residents are friendly and welcoming. From what I've seen of the food, it's better than what is often found in facilities.

I understand how hard it is to find quality staff. However, there has been a lot of complaints about one of the nurses at this facility. (Not [name removed], which no longer works there) I personally experienced it myself on a Friday evening at 6pm. I was called and told my family member was out of medication that he takes everyday. This is a very long drawn out story but I was 4 hours away at the time and practically had a meltdown over the phone with her. My expectations of every single issue that comes along isn't at the very top however, had I known this before 6pm in a Friday it would not have happened this way. My sister and I are happy with Magnolia Manor. Our dad is safe, clean clothes, clean sheets, 3 meals a day, happy neighbors, he loves being there. I do have a problem with who is planning the medicine dispensing. I'm not trying to say micromanage everything. I'm just wanting better skilled healthcare providers (mainly nursing staff) with a pleasant attitude and good communication skills!

The staff at The Commons are very friendly and professional. There is not an option for free housekeeping, the tenants pay for that. The staff always communicates with the family. The move-in process was simple. For the meals, the staff and tenants both cook the meals, every lunch and every Friday. I would recommend the facility to other people. The location of the building is convenient to everything in Huntsville.

The layout of the rooms was wonderful and spacious. There was a wonderful courtyard with rockers. Many employers were wonderful, but several were meh. Food was not impressive. Many times I visited and they were serving frozen food that had been put in the oven

It is a small intimate setting with a sweet staff. My relative has not been real happy with the food or activities, but she likes the caring nature of the staff. They have been responsive to my needs as well. It is a good price compared to many other assisted-living facilities in the area.

Recommend if not needed for memory care. Need to assist the residents more at night.

I did want mom closer. But this facility was nicer and cleaner than the ones close to home. And we have family in Corinth so they can visit more often as well. We also have her sister staying there and is a blessing to them both. Having a nurse practitioner that visits weekly is a huge asset that eliminates the need to go to multiple outside doctors.

Seabrook missing a great opportunity to make residents more active. The Spanish Fort Community Center is 12 minutes away and we COULD be involved at least a couple times a week where a plethora of activities await residents.

She is in a better place than alone at home - it was close proximity to my house. My mother has improved since she has been there. She has met friends there and I think she will only get better.

Mom seems pretty happy there but is sad with some turnover with staff that have left. I would like to see an exercise program there for the seniors to help with stretching and low impact movements to prevent stiffness and help with mobility. I feel for the price there should be more activities for the residents to motivate more involvement with peers.
