Overview of Hickory Village
Hickory Village is a 56-bed assisted living and memory care facility at 427 3rd Avenue S.E., Hickory, Catawba County, North Carolina. It provides 24-hour staffing, accepts Medicaid, and holds a 3-star state rating with housekeeping, transportation, restaurant-style dining, library, entertainment, and outdoor common areas.
A substantiated complaint investigation in September 2022 revealed critical resident protection failures. The facility failed to notify primary care provider and obtain mental health referrals for two of seven residents following allegations of resident-to-resident sexual assault involving Residents #6 and #7. The facility failed to immediately notify local social services and law enforcement, creating gaps in required protective response and oversight.
Healthcare coordination and fire safety infrastructure deficiencies characterize Hickory Village’s regulatory history. Over five years, the facility averaged 3.8 deficiencies annually, 27 percent better than North Carolina’s 5.2-deficiency benchmark. March 2024 annual survey documented failure to ensure referral and follow-up for speech therapy evaluation despite physician orders and multiple communications for one resident with difficulty swallowing. May 2025 follow-up construction survey found sprinkler system down due to leak and awaiting repair, creating ongoing fire safety risk.
Fire safety infrastructure failures recur across inspection cycles. September 2018 construction survey identified water gong non-functional in annual sprinkler system inspection, unsecured portable oxygen cylinder creating projectile hazard, gaps around conduit not firestopped, incomplete sprinkler escutcheon plate, non-functioning electrical lighting and exhaust ventilation in multiple areas, and missing individual towel bars for residents. October 2016 construction survey documented fire-resistance-rated wall patched with FRP board at several spots, commercial kitchen hood fire suppression system lacking required inspections and documentation since May 2016, corridor door wedged open, and inadequate exhaust ventilation in laundry. November 2016 follow-up confirmed fire-resistance-rated wall behind washer remained improperly patched.
No fines or license suspensions appear in the record.
Families should ask about corrections following the September 2022 resident-to-resident assault, mental health and physician communication protocols, fire system repairs, and oxygen cylinder storage.
