My grandfather has lived here for almost 4 months. He was very hesitant to move, but now that he’s settled in, he said he’d never go back to living alone. The community of residents and staff have made him feel right and home. The staff is very attentive, they have lots of activities for the residence and the food is delicious. The building is kept very clean. So grateful for Hickory Woods and their staff

A one star is all is deserved. If they cared more about their workers they would deserve more.

Great place. Good food, clean, activities, caring staff. My wife is there and I spend a lot of time there. We moved to Hickory Woods from assisted living in Paris, Tn. This place is miles ahead of Assisted Living in Paris.
