Supported Living Lets You Live Your Way.
At Hickory Grove we are committed to creating an environment that’s more than just a place to stay. It’s a unique and vibrant community to settle into that feels like home. One of the first things you’ll notice when you visit is the inviting “front porch” areas by the entrance to each apartment, decorated by residents to reflect individual tastes and personality, and a sign of welcome to fellow residents. Each one- or two-bedroom apartment is a comfortable personal retreat with a kitchenette, living area and spacious bathroom.
Camaraderie
Making friends and finding people to spend time with is easy at Hickory Grove. Our social and recreational programs and a multi-purpose game room mean there’s always something fun to do. Our inviting common areas were designed to foster friendly interaction. Conversations spring up naturally in the seating area around the fireplace as well as our dining room. The library offers the diversion of puzzles, books and personal computers. Our lovely gazebo is a great place to enjoy beautiful weather or flower gardening. Of course, our homey dining area with its three delicious buffet meals a day is like dining out with friends for every meal.
Our Wellness Programs focus on meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of residents through a variety of activities including daily exercise groups, swimming, book clubs, worship services and Bible Study and other groups intentionally formed to keep residents intellectually challenged and engaged.
Our seniors still have a lot to offer our community and most stay engaged with community service projects such as the Hancock County Food for Thoughts Program that provide weekend meals to area children and multi-generational projects involving children at the W.O.W. Park in Carthage. Whether it is building specialty “bird/book houses” for parents and children to borrow a book and read while playing at W.O.W. park or free lemonade every week to children playing at the park, our seniors prove getting older doesn’t just mean sitting in front of the TV.
We take pride in our multi-generational programs including our collaboration with local job training programs for young people, our Volunteer Program which allows area youth to volunteer with the seniors who live at Hickory Grove and our partnership with the Hancock County Farm Bureau which brings beautiful flowers to our campus every year. Our seniors are sharing special recipes they love to our Community Kitchen and baking Grandma’s Cookies that they share with local businesses every month. The importance of being involved and staying active is key in everything we do here at Hickory Grove.
