The Harbor at Hickory Hill

Prior to moving to AL, I worked for a hospice service in GA, playing music for residents in about a dozen residence facilities. Wanting to continue that “giving back,” I connected with Hickory Hill about a year ago. It has been a wonderful experience. 🌻 The staff is friendly and helpful in gathering the residents, ensuring their comfort in seating, and serving snacks. Many of the residents sing and clap along, and I always make sure I spend a moment with each individual before leaving. The management is very careful with their health, also. A couple months ago, there was a bug going around so they asked me not to visit. On the day I was supposed to play, I dropped off a stack of handmade greeting cards. The facility looks clean and well-kept, the food smells good, the staff is courteous, and provides a nice array of seasonal activities, indoors and outdoors. If you have a loved one needs residential care, check it out.

This is not a memory care facility. They are strictly assisted living. If any patient comes in with actual signs of dementia they immediately ship the patient Off to a hospital. They will not care for any Alzheimer’s patient that actually shows symptoms. My father-in-law was there two days before they sent him to an hospital hundred miles away. The harbor insisted he stayed there away from his wife, all alone. He died 3 days ago. His wife, my mother-in-law, made the the critical sin (to them) of actually displaying symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. And yes they just sent her off to a hospital. To die. So only send your family members to The Harbour at Hickory Hill if you are ready for them to go to God.

The caregivers here will treat your loved ones as theirs. They truly go above and beyond for the people they care for. The facility was clean and there are tons of activities for the residents to participate in. Your loved ones will truly enjoy living here!

I am not a customer or client but I do know one thing, I happen to meet the Executive Director Christy Goodwin and she is one of the sweetest and nicest person that I've met in a long time. It always helps, when you are in need of this kind of service, to have this kind of person to deal with.

This is a beautiful community with an amazing staff! They truly care for their residents as their own. I’m so thankful for The Harbor.
