Hickory Terrace in Levelland is an assisted-living community designed for residents who need daily support yet wish to maintain as much independence as possible. The community can coordinate respite stays, diabetes monitoring, on-site physical therapy, and scheduled visits from speech therapists. Staff members receive specialized memory-care training, so they can recognize changes in cognition and adjust care plans quickly. Regular meal preparation and service are part of the medical support plan, ensuring residents with diet-related conditions receive appropriate nutrition.
To back up the clinical services, the building is equipped with an emergency call system that links residents to staff at any hour, as well as a sprinkler system for fire safety. Short-term or respite guests receive the same round-the-clock monitoring as long-term residents, and care planners can adjust service levels if a resident’s health status changes. All services aim to keep residents stable on-site and reduce unnecessary hospital visits.
The residence offers a selection of studio and efficiency apartments, some with kitchenettes, wall-to-wall carpeting, and generous closet space. Certain units add features such as in-suite washer and dryer, wheelchair-accessible showers, and high-speed Wi-Fi, while others remain simpler and more cost-effective; availability varies, so prospective residents should confirm specific layouts during a tour. Central air conditioning, utilities, cable, and resident parking are included, and cats are welcome in designated apartments. Outdoor courtyards, garden areas, and walking paths provide space for fresh air, and indoor common areas include lounges and a computer or media center.
Dining follows a restaurant-style approach with three meals served daily, plus healthy snacks between seatings. Menus accommodate vegetarian choices and physician-ordered restrictions for conditions such as diabetes or swallowing difficulties. Guests can purchase meals when visiting, and staff can adjust portion sizes or textures as needed for short-term residents recovering from illness or surgery.
Residents can take part in a range of scheduled activities, including arts and crafts, bingo, yoga classes, and health and wellness programs.
