Hickory Senior Living

Based on the experience we have had so far, we can say that The Dogwood Corinth community is very clean and the staff members are ice. They could maybe increase the amount of activities they have for the residents on the memory care side.

My loved one is currently a resident at Magnolia Manor at Tupelo and the experience has been very good so far. Communication with the family is good. The food and housekeeping are both good, also. My loved one has certainly been accepted with open arms. We are pleased with our decision to move our loved one to Magnolia Manor at Tupelo and would recommend this facility to others.

Our family had an in person tour with Country Cottage Huntsville and we found the tour experience to be very informative and they had a smaller number of residents which we also liked. However this location was just not as desirable for us.

It is nice having an on-site therapy here at Seabrook Pointe. However they could improve on the personnel staff turnover

The reasons for the numbers 4 ratings had to do with CoVid restrictions and some difficulty with administrator on assisted living wing. Many of regular activities were put on pause because of Covid restrictions but those that were offered were great. In our experience, all nurses and caregivers were great. Our one difficulty had to do with above mentioned administrator. She was difficult to contact or get answers from, her decisions weren't always in line with info we had been given. In general, she proved to be more difficult to work with than any other personnel. overall our experience with Oak Grove was very positive and we would highly recommend this community to others.

Country Cottage is a very very clean community, there are no fowls odors at all. They have fresh candles lit everywhere. There is a really nice fireplace, great furniture to sit on, and several different TV rooms. Our loved one is a foodie and he has had no complaints regarding the meals. As far as activities go - they have battled covid a couple of times so occasionally the activities are limited. However they usually have a calendar posted up with activities, and our loved one enjoys being apart of their walking group. They also have fresh baked cookies 24/7. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

I'm middle of the road...the place is ok. I've had several instances where I didn't like the situation. My family member isn't sure if they are happy there. My biggest concern is lack of activities for engagement.

Our family had an in person tour and I liked the director at Country Cottage, but the facility was too small and much more dated and tired. There did not appear to be a lot of activities and the rooms and closets were very small.

This community is outstanding. I think the staff is well managed, professional, and caring. I would highly recommend you consider this community for your loved ones. The staff communication has been outstanding with the family when we have questions or concerns. The director, [name removed], is very, very thorough, attentive, and hands on with the staff and residents in knowing what they are doing and keeps the family updated. There are three meals a day for the residents to enjoy. The community will even take the meals to the residents if they don't feel like going to the dining room. The staff will assist the residents in prepare meals such as oatmeal in the residents room already. This is a smaller community that houses approximately 30 residents.

What we really like about Magnolia Manor is that the staff are relatively responsive and the community is used friendly. We have not had a meal there ourselves but our loved one seems satisfied. There are also extra curricular activities for our loved one that are not usually provided and that is their beauty and nail salon. What we think they could improve on or just maybe do, is the residents could get lonely at times being in a community and for families who aren't able to visit they could have support groups, or people from other communities come over and visit with the residents,

This is a good place. They have good nursing care here. I feel my loved one is in good hands. The nurses are watching my loved one carefully and has assisted the family in taking the pressure of care for our loved one off of the family. The staff communications is very good, and they are in contact with the family with questions or concerns. There are three meals a day served to the residents. The food appears to be good from what I have seen.

It is small, it's very accessible, and it's all on one floor. My mom is very happy there. Their activities is a downfall. They are working to improve it, but I haven't seen that quite yet as they don't have any activities.

Everyone was really friendly and accommodating, especially on the first day when he moved in. They gave us dollies and anything we needed to get his furniture moved in. His room was repainted and spotless within a day when we needed a quick turnaround on move-in. My loved one commented on how nice his nurses were. We did have communication problems with Angela, the head person. She wasn't really prompt about getting back to us, if she even did. They had lots of different activities if you chose to participate - things like church, singing, puzzles. Overall I would highly recommend it for elderly people, and maybe less so for special circumstances like ours with a much much younger loved one there for unconventional reasons. It was a very nice facility with no stereotypical odors and was kept very clean.

The staff at Country Cottage is absolutely great - they have been a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with our decision to move our loved one into this facility.

There are not too many activities because they are so busy. Overall, they offer good care.

Overall, its good. The facility is clean. The staff are attentive. Our complaints would be lack of staff. And the food is atrocious. That's not necessarily their fault. They lost their cook around the same time my loved one came in. But we're talking cold sandwiches, takeout pizza, and takeout breakfast. They've basically been piecing together meals since November. They have this elaborate menu on the wall that's very enticing and makes it look like people will be well fed. But that's not the case.

Our family had an in person tour and we loved this community, the food is amazing, the staff was amazing and they activities were amazing, but no memory care unit which is what we wanted.

We liked Columbia Cottage, but they did not offer suites that had the living space and bedroom separated which is something we were looking for.

Right now, they're not communicating very well. They've had a changeover in ownership, and I know that change takes time. But when you're dealing with the elderly population, I feel like you need to be spot-on rather quickly to address the residents' needs. It's been 3-4 weeks now, and by this time I feel like I should be getting emails or something. My loved one can't remember everything there is to tell me. When they were The Blake, the staff were sending emails regularly, and the new ownership is not sending anything yet. That being said, I'm not moving her anytime soon. She likes it there a lot. It's very clean, and the staff seems to be very friendly. The current ownership just needs to communicate a little better.

This was a good community, not the right fit for my loved one.
