Hickory Valley Retirement Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee offers both assisted living and independent living. Residents who choose assisted living receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and scheduled transportation, while those in independent living maintain a largely self–directed lifestyle with the option to add services if their needs change.
Medical support is a central part of the community’s operations. Staff members provide diabetes care that includes routine blood-sugar monitoring, insulin administration, and coordination with outside healthcare professionals when adjustments are needed. On-site incontinence care supplies prompt toileting assistance and hygiene management, and ambulatory care ensures residents who use walkers, canes, or wheelchairs receive help moving safely around the building and grounds.
Accommodations are available in several floor plans, and each living space is designed to allow for personal furnishings. Some residences offer direct access to outdoor areas where residents can sit, walk, or garden; however, not all units include every feature, so it is advisable to confirm specific details when touring.
The dining program provides three meals each day, served in a communal setting with staff oversight to encourage balanced nutrition and social interaction. Menus are planned to accommodate common dietary needs such as reduced-sugar or low-sodium options, and residents can request adjustments as approved by their healthcare providers.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts scheduled programs, group games, and exercise sessions intended to support physical and mental engagement.
