Hickory Ridge of Temperance is licensed as a nursing home and provides round-the-clock skilled nursing care for residents who need comprehensive medical oversight. Registered nurses and certified nursing assistants monitor vital signs, manage medications, and coordinate closely with physicians to handle post-surgical recovery, chronic disease management, and other complex health needs. The facility maintains the equipment and staffing levels required for high-acuity care, giving families a single location where both medical treatment and daily living assistance are delivered.

Beyond the foundational nursing services, Hickory Ridge of Temperance offers on-site physical therapy to help residents regain or maintain mobility after injury, surgery, or illness. Licensed therapists create individualized therapy plans, working with residents in dedicated treatment areas equipped with modern rehabilitation devices. Therapy sessions are scheduled to align with each resident’s medical plan, and nursing staff track progress to adjust goals as needed. Transportation is arranged for off-site medical appointments when a specialist consultation is required, and care coordination ensures medical records follow the resident seamlessly.

Accommodations at the community include private and semi-private rooms, with access to shared lounge spaces, landscaped outdoor areas, and structured fitness programs designed for varying ability levels. Residents can enjoy fresh air in courtyards or take part in low-impact exercise classes supervised by trained staff. Not all accommodations have all the features, so families should verify specific room layouts and amenity availability during a tour.

Dining services focus on consistent nutrition and choice. Daily menus include standard fare alongside culturally diverse options to meet ethnic meal preferences, and dietitians oversee portion sizes and nutrient balance. Modified diets for conditions such as diabetes or renal disease are prepared under clinical guidelines, and meal times are scheduled to match medication and therapy plans.

Residents can spend downtime in the on-site activity center, which hosts group events, games, and crafts aimed at cognitive stimulation and social engagement. Staff members organize a daily calendar and adapt activities to accommodate different mobility levels, encouraging participation without compromising safety.
