Would recommend

From the first meeting, I was impressed with [name removed]. Very professional, and knowledgeable. The staff was very kind and watching interactions with residents, it was obvious they cared. The facility has a very home-like feel to it. A front porch with rockers! The rooms and residents appeared clean. Although it didn't work out for my husband, unfortunately he joined the 60% of dementia patients who wander, had that not happened, I'm sure he would have been well cared for there.

Review for Burnt Hickory Residences

Cleanliness could be better. My sister is in the older part and the carpet needs replacing, the ac unit needs a thorough cleaning to eliminate any mold and dust issues , and a plastic window with tape holding it together is scheduled for replacement. .... I hope. The other factors are great. My sister is very happy. The food, activities, health care and staff seem to be done with great patience and with great kindness and professionalism.

The overall experience, friendliness, care services, staff, and meals have been great. The cleanliness and activities have been good and the value for cost is excellent. What I like the most about the community is the caring staff and large rooms. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families.

Extra Caring Staff

The friendliness gets a 6, they are over the top! The caregivers are excellent! The administrative staff are also excellent! When it comes to the meals, there is a lot of processed foods. I haven't seen any activities - our loved one doesn't remember any. The value is great! You can always find something that costs more, but these caregivers/angels are amazing!

Review for Burnt Hickory Residences

[name removed] mother seems to be well settled there. She comments on the good food she gets. Laundry seems to be a small aggravation. They do what they said they would do.
