FeatherStone at Hickory Hill delivers assisted-living that places medical support at the forefront. Licensed nurses oversee medication management and glucose monitoring for residents who need diabetes care, and the team can coordinate with outside specialists for lab work or physician-ordered treatments. The community also accepts respite or short-term stays, offering the same nursing supervision and on-site emergency response system available to long-term residents. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly to make sure evolving medical needs are met without delay.
Beyond clinical oversight, staff provide day-to-day assistance with bathing, dressing, transfers, and continence care, always available around the clock. Scheduled transportation is offered for medical appointments, and therapy services—physical, occupational, or speech—can be arranged on campus. Residents and families have access to care conferences to discuss progress, and electronic health records help ensure continuity between primary care providers and the community’s caregiving team.
Accommodation choices range from ground-floor studios to larger apartments that may include kitchenettes, full kitchens, private baths, and garden views. Safety features such as handicap-accessible layouts, wheelchair-accessible showers, and emergency call systems are standard, while select units add conveniences like cable TV hookups, Wi-Fi, or individual climate control. Common areas include an indoor library, piano lounge, central fireplace, computer/media center, TV lounge, and meeting rooms, with outdoor patios, raised garden beds, and resident parking available. Not every residence contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with anytime dining for those who prefer flexible hours. The culinary team accommodates low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, kosher, vegan, vegetarian, and pureed diets, and organic ingredients are used when possible. A café/bistro and bar/pub offer lighter fare or social beverages, while room service and a private dining room are available for in-suite or family gatherings. Special dining programs include holiday menus, outdoor BBQs and picnics, themed international cuisine nights, and guest meals for visitors.
Residents have access to an array of activities and amenities designed to keep them engaged. On-site offerings range from fitness center sessions like Forever Fit, yoga, chair yoga, stretching, and live-well programs to creative outlets such as art classes, quilting, sewing, gardening club, cooking classes, and a resident band. Social options include bridge, cards, trivia, Wii bowling, karaoke, wine tastings, happy hour, live music, dance events, and movie nights in the theater room. Educational speakers, current events clubs, Bible study, Montessori and reminiscence programs support cognitive engagement, while day trips, walking clubs, and community service projects provide off-site connection. A jacuzzi, game room, raised garden beds, and sensory or light therapy programs add to the list of practical amenities available on campus.
