The Harbor at Hickory Hill in Prattville, Alabama, is dedicated exclusively to memory care. Residents receive support tailored to cognitive needs, and a physician oversees ongoing medical management. Specialized diabetes care is available, and a speech therapist provides interventions for communication or swallowing challenges common in dementia. These medical resources work together to help residents maintain their health and everyday abilities.

Additional on-site services expand the medical safety net. A dentist, podiatrist, occupational therapist, and physical therapist make regular visits, eliminating the need for most outside appointments. The staff nurse monitors vital signs, medications, and overall wellness, while incontinence and ambulatory care programs address mobility and personal care requirements. The building itself is designed to reduce confusion and promote safe navigation for people experiencing memory loss.

Residents can choose from several accommodation layouts that may include pet-friendly options, outdoor sitting areas, wheelchair-accessible showers, and on-site parking. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every listed feature, so families are encouraged to verify specifics during a tour.

Dining is straightforward: balanced meals are prepared and served daily, with menus adjusted for dietary restrictions or physician-ordered modifications. Staff members are present in the dining area to cue or assist residents who need help eating, supporting good nutrition and hydration.

An activity center provides space for structured programs and informal gatherings, giving residents opportunities for social interaction and cognitive engagement. Pets are welcome in certain areas; policies vary by unit, so it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
