Hickory Creek is very nice small Nursing Home. Being small is one of the reasons I chose this facility for my Brother. The staff are able to really get to know their residents and it’s allows for a more family/homey felling. They are willing to work with you about anything needed for your family member residing there. Very prompt on calling with any updates, setting up out of facility appointments and making sure to ask if you need anything. No Nursing home is Perfect, but Hickory Creek is very close.
