Horrible Director

This New Director has fired, so many people that made this place what it was, she continues raising prices 8%, and increasing care costs, my grandmother has nothing to do because there is no activities! none of their Tv's work, and when you send an email to the Director or Call Corporate, they say they are working on it, they have been working on this for 3 years, our starting costs were $[removed] monthly, now we pay $[removed] and it's over we are moving on, off to [community removed].

Mother is still currently here

the Director continues to raise costs, as if she is trying to get rid of my mother.. no activities person, no nurse, and no transportation, we have received about 5 emails in the last 5 months, about people pursuing other jobs, but this is worrisome, as we moved them in when [name removed], [name removed] were there and ever since new management, its fallen short, they have no hot water!

Review for Brookdale Hickory Northeast

It was a negative experience, and my family wouldn't recommend Brookdale Hickory. The Executive Director was unprofessional. The Health and Wellness Director left suddenly early this year, and things for my mom went from bad to worse.

Experience at Brookdale

If my loved one's finances weren't so limited, she would not be at this facility. She's not getting the care that she should be getting. Lack of attention. There are long periods of no staff checking resident rooms or even in the hallways. The staff is normally good at returning calls/messages in a timely manner. The marketing person whom we met with initially is no longer here. Offers/promises were made outside of policy and administration is now having to address them as family members come forward.

Fantastic Place!

The staff was attentive, engaging, and genuinely cared. They went above and beyond making this a place my dad would be comfortable. The place is warm and friendly. They care about details and people.

Community Tour

I thought Brookdale Hickory Northeast was a great place. They made you feel like you were important. Everybody we interacted with on the tour was very nice. The apartments were very small though and not very updated. Overall I thought it would have been a good choice for our loved one. We just decided to see how he would do in independent living first, whereas this Brookdale location offers assisted living.

Caring and Safe

Caregivers kind and responsive. Food was good and ample but institutional to meet everyone's needs. Covid screening sufficient and protocols adhered to policy. They care about their residents personally.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE *****

[name removed] and [name removed] were wonderful. This is a cozy community that is close knit due to a caring staff who really care about the residents. The schedule was full and it was pleasant to walk through and interact with everyone. I can tell the residents enjoy being there and their loved ones sleep well at night because they are happy and taken care of in every way. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful home away from home. [name removed] went the extra mile to answer every question. He is passionate and this is his calling. It is his ministry, and his gift. And I showed up on no notice both on weekday and weekend. Please give them a look, you will see what I'm talking about. R/s Dennis

Highly recommend

My mom was previously living in an assisted living community that had deteriorated during Covid. Quality of care was poor. I'm elated that my mom now lives in a Brookdale community. The staff is top notch and always willing to assist you or your loved one.

My tour review

The first community caught my attention so fast that it was hard to give another community any consideration. I just had to go with the community that gave me that feeling. However, the tour was still good and with good people that were good to me also.

Compassionate staff and happy Residents

All the staff at Brookdale Hickory NE are supportive, caring, and helpful. [name removed] went above and beyond in his patience, communication, and assistance to aid with a very complicated transfer from Florida to NC. As I continued to visit (sometimes an arranged meeting and sometimes impromptu), I was consistently met with smiles and greetings from both the staff and the Residents. In my conversations with the Residents, I found vibrant personalities who showed interest in welcoming a new member to the family and who confirmed that Brookdale Hickory NE is a good place to live with lots of fun activities. I'm a registered nurse with experience in long term care so I can spot trouble very easily. I don't expect perfection because perfection is not realistic in life. What I do expect is for people to do the best that they can and to treat each other like members of their own family. These expectations are fulfilled at Brookdale Hickory NE.

Our tour experience

Our family had an in person tour experience and we would have to give it a negative. It was more much pricey to other communities we were looking at, but we do know it is skilled nursing. However the room they showed us that our loved one would be moving into, was smaller, no refrigerator or microwave and only big enough to fit a twin size bed.

Homely socialist

There are always rooms for improvements but we do think they are doing a good job and we know they are a little short staffed. Overall our loved one says she is happy there. The staff do a good job communicating with our family, and any time we have had issues they solve it quickly. Our loved one was able to bring her own furniture into the apartment which she really liked. Also, they are pet friendly so when I come to visit I can bring my dog which makes her and the other residents so happy.

Our experience

We chose Brookdale at the time mainly because of the all inclusive pricing and just the conversation with the director about the quality of care that he said they could provide. After we got him here, there was a lot of inconsistency in what the director was saying vs what the nursing staff said they could provide based on his condition. We were here during covid so he was not able to utilize everything the facility had to offer.

One of the Cleanest, Affordable Places I Found

The staff are friendly, and they're very helpful trying to work with you on financial issues. The care was good overall. The only issue we had was it took a little longer to answer the call button than we would have liked on a couple of occasions, but they could have just been busy. Also, a couple of the residents were just hateful. Aside from that, I would recommend this community. The value was great. Some of these places you could buy an acre of land for the monthly rent. Brookdale was reasonable, which was very important to us.

First year at Brookdale

We chose Brookdale Hickory because of the location. The room sizes here are small compared to others we saw. The food provided looked good and seems to be average. I would want other people to know when looking into Brookdale that the staff are very empathetic and genuinely care about their residents. I would recommend the community.

Nice Community

I would say go for it. They have been really good for us. Anytime we have called they are willing to answer our questions. I'm unsure of any activities they offer. We have a small, single room. It depends how much you want to pay. My loved one was in a larger room, and we had to downsize because of the price increase.
