My sister spent 92 days here. She received excellent care from the staff. Her physical therapy was impressive, and she communicated with me about her progress and listened, really listened to my concerns. She had a complicated health issue, combined with a broken leg and repeated infections. She went from non-weight-bearing to weight-bearing several times. Everyone did all they could to accommodate her needs physically, emotionally, and socially.
After staying at Hickory Ridge, other facilities just could not compete with the level of care.
Their staff will forever be in our hearts! Thank you, Hickory Ridge, for your awesome care team!
