Kingston Residence of Hickory
Kingston Residence of Hickory offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in Hickory, NC. In assisted living, residents live in an apartment while receiving help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time away.
These care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving between them can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially. Housing includes studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments, with larger layouts available beyond a single private room. Kitchenettes have microwaves, refrigerators, sinks, and cabinets, giving residents room to store and prepare simple food. Walk-in showers with built-in handrails provide support while bathing, and pets are allowed to stay with residents.
There is plenty to do. Residents can join live entertainment, cookouts, bingo nights, and outings to local attractions. Short-Term Stays and Culinary Experiences are also available, providing a named option for temporary stays and a food-focused program. A Walk Score of 62 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still reach some destinations independently.

NC DHSR Star Rating (0–4 stars). Issued by North Carolina's Division of Health Service Regulation based on annual facility inspections.

DHSR Quality Score (/200). Each annual inspection starts at a base of 100 points. Facilities earn demerit points for violations and citations, and merit points for correcting issues, maintaining resident/family councils, sprinkler systems, and other quality programs. The "/200" display reflects the two most recent annual inspections combined - giving a longer-term view of compliance trends rather than a single snapshot.

Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
