Homestead at Hickory View Retirement Community in Washington, MO is designed for residents who want the freedom of Independent Living while still having access to targeted clinical support. The community can coordinate Diabetes Care and provides on-site Speech Therapist services, helping residents manage glucose levels, adhere to dietary requirements, and maintain or improve communication abilities without having to travel off campus.
Additional medical resources are available inside the community to address changing health needs. Residents have access to incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, hospice coordination, and medication management. A licensed nurse is on staff, and visiting or on-site occupational, physical, and podiatry specialists help residents maintain mobility, recover from injuries, and monitor foot health. These layered services mean many routine or specialized health concerns can be handled without residents leaving the property.
Residences come in several layouts, and not every apartment includes every feature. Options may include wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, and handicap-friendly designs, all of which are air-conditioned. Selected apartments are pet-friendly, and the main building features a central fireplace, common outdoor areas, dedicated parking, and even a piano or organ for resident use.
Dining is structured to be flexible and health-conscious. All-day dining allows residents to choose meal times, and a professional chef prepares restaurant-style menus with regular meals provided. Guest meals are available, and dietary accommodations include low- or no-sodium and no-sugar selections to support medical plans such as diabetes management.
Beyond healthcare and dining, residents can join fitness programs, use the library and computer lounge, or spend time in the activity center. Outdoor access includes raised garden beds and a swimming pool, while planned social outings, karaoke sessions, happy hours, yoga or chair yoga classes, intergenerational programs, birthday parties, dances, and live music keep the calendar full.
