"Mixed Experience at Assisted Living Facility"
From what I saw, the place was mostly clean, but there were ants in [name removed]'s room. We couldn't really judge the food because [name removed] didn't eat there - she thought it was too spicy. There weren't many activities either, and [name removed] wouldn't join in even if there were. The community itself was nice, but sometimes the meals were inconvenient. Overall, based on our experience so far, we would recommend this place to other families.

"Mixed Experience at Assisted Living Facility"
The assisted living facility doesn't have staff available 24/7, and they encourage residents to wear diapers. The house and location are nice, but the director seems evasive when answering questions. The friendly staff, although not fluent in English, made it challenging to understand my needs. Unfortunately, there's no menu or activities other than watching TV.

"Inconsiderate Administration at Assisted Living Facility Causes Stress"
My Dad relocated to Hickory in April due to a fractured hip, and while the staff is top-notch, the owner and manager leave much to be desired. I wasn't granted any access to the owner, and conversing with the manager proved fruitless as she exhibited complete rudeness. They proposed that my Dad, who suffered from Dementia, share a room. Unfortunately, the other occupant constantly grumbled about my Dad, leading to a proposition of either transferring him to a private room or to another of their facility, about an extra 20 to 30 minutes away. I argued that the issue lied with the roommate, yet they insisted my Dad's comfort would be enhanced in a private room. Consequently, I moved him, incurring extra expenses. The roommate, a habitual complainer, was only driven out upon falling behind on rent payments. My Dad sadly passed away in his private room by July, with no refunds provided. The owner and manager demonstrated extreme insensitivity. I wouldn't endorse this place.
