Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Hickory, NC

Overview of Hickory Village

On 3rd Avenue S.E. in Catawba County, Hickory Village combines assisted living and memory care in a single 56-bed community. The neighborhood is car-dependent, so residents and visiting family will plan around driving rather than walking to nearby errands. Respite stays are available too, giving families a shorter-term option alongside the longer-term memory care and assisted living tracks.

Staffing runs around the clock, with nursing services on-site for residents who need regular medical attention. Shared spaces include a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area, and restaurant-style dining anchors daily life at the community. Housekeeping, transportation, and maintenance handle the logistics behind the scenes.

Medicaid coverage is accepted here, widening the financial paths available to families weighing long-term costs. Regulatory reviews of Hickory Village have focused on fire-safety systems and how well the community documents and plans resident care, categories that show up regularly across assisted living and memory care inspections statewide.

Between its memory care wing and its respite option, Hickory Village serves two different kinds of families at once: those planning for a loved one’s longer-term stay and those who need bridge care while sorting out what comes next. Medicaid acceptance keeps the door open for both.
