Brookdale Hickory Northeast is an assisted-living community equipped to handle residents who wander at any time of day, need special diets, are up throughout the night, or require management of oral diabetes medications. The community accepts individuals with moderate dementia and backs this support with a licensed nurse on site 24 hours a day and additional RN/LPN coverage. Residents have access to 12–16 hours of daily nursing, occupational and physical therapy, wound care, podiatry, dental services, hospice care, ambulatory care, and ongoing medication management.

Care is delivered under continuous security monitoring, with staff present around the clock. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the team can accommodate transfers using a walker, wheelchair, standby supervision, or a one-person lift. On-site laundry, incontinence management, and regular nurse assessments help maintain consistent health oversight, while the facility’s layout and staffing are designed to lower the risk of unsafe wandering.

Residences include studio or efficiency apartments, some with kitchenettes, washer/dryer hookups, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Cable TV, Wi-Fi, central air conditioning, and surface parking are available, and select units overlook outdoor walking paths, gardens, or the butterfly garden. Common areas offer a library and computer lounge, central fireplace, meeting rooms, and covered porches. Not all accommodations contain every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific unit details during a visit.

Meals follow a set menu prepared on site, with staff able to adjust textures, portion sizes, and nutritional content to meet physician-ordered diet plans. Special diets for diabetic management, reduced sodium, or other medical needs are routinely provided, and assistance with eating is available for those who need it.

Amenities include resident parking, a barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, a game room, a library, and an arts and crafts studio. Pets are allowed. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
