The Homestead at Hickory View Retirement Community

It was a really nice place. It was hard for my mom to adjust to community living. Her health went downhill, and she had to move into a full-care nursing home. But it was friendly and inviting and the the staff was great. It was really a great place.

The experience for my mother has been very good. They are overpriced compared to others in a 50 mile radius. But my mother wanted to stay in that town. They are friendly and always helpful. The facility is very clean and well-kept.

Mom is very pleased with The Homestead. She's very happy with the staff. She's very happy with the activities. The apartment is very nice. It has just enough space that she can get everything she wants in it, and because of that, it has that homey feeling that's very important to her. It is more expensive than other places in the area, but she would recommend it to other people.

there is a problem at the Homestead now with residents getting $$$ stolen from their rooms it is a number of residents, staff seems to not be listening to them and makes comments to them like "they think they are just old and do not remember if they had cash or if they spent it" .............this is a serious issue and management need to make these residents feel they can report things and get them looked into, this is suppose to be a safe place but residents do not feel that way at the moment. Please listen to your residents, and investigate when something is reported to you

I have experience living in this type of community in three different states. I find Homestead to be outstanding! It is kept clean inside as well as out. Very pleasant to live in. I have to use a scooter and am so fortunate the bus has a lift and I can get to my Doctor appointments as well as shopping etc. This small community does not have taxi service and without the Homestead bus I would not be able to get out, which I feel is so important to my happiness. They also provide many different activities and entertainment everyday. They have welcomed my dog with open arms and lots of treats. The staff is exceptional and genuinely concerned in making us all comfortable., I can say Homestead has given me the best home of all the places I have lived. Thank you Homestead. Konny

The employees at Homestead were incredible as I looked for a place for my mom. They went above and beyond to answer all my questions and even sent me videos of the community. A big thank you to [name removed] who took time to help me make the best decision for my mom and went above and beyond to answer all my questions.

[Name removed] was very friendly and helpful. She provided us with everything we wanted to know. Food was also very good.

This place is awesome. We had the best experience ever with [name removed]. She showed us several rooms and explained everything to us. This place is beautiful. If I was older, I would live here in a heartbeat. This is definitely on top of our list to put our mother when she is ready.

My mom has been living at Homestead for several years. I have to say it is finally getting the facelift it has needed for years. Recently, Homestead decided to change management once again and in my opinion that was a mistake. Homestead found someone upbeat and that truly cared for the people that live here only to change it. I don't believe in fixing things that aren't broken. This isn't a job for everyone and when you find the right fit you need to keep it. I have stopped in on several occasions to meet [removed] and I'm told she is off today or unavailable at the moment. I'm just not impressed with Homestead any longer.

My aunt and uncle had lived at the Homestead for many years. Unfortunately my aunt passed away a couple of years ago. When I visited my uncle recently he was very happy there and expressed how glad he was that he could remain there after my aunt passed away. He has friends there that he enjoys having his meals with and says the food is great. The staff is excellent with him and treat him with respect. He loves to joke around and the other residents enjoy his antics. I would definitely recommend this to a loved one as I see how the staff is kind and very caring. The cleanliness of the rooms and the building are amazing. You can tell they really care and want the best for the residents.

This is a really nice place for local residents and their families. Most of the residents are from small surrounding towns. Everyone is very helpful and considerate of others. Coming from a small town, word of mouth means a lot. I have not heard anything negative about this place. If it was out there- we would all know. Staff is truly caring. The medical staff on site help the residents with medical needs and all seem very knowledgeable. Take a look, walk through and talk to the other residents!

I went to The Homestead at Hickoryview to check on my neighbor, I haven't seen him in a while and wanted too see how he was getting along. I was very impressed right from the get go at how bright and friendly the whole p!ace was! All of the staff were happy and welcoming! I was impressed with the interaction I saw between my friend and the staff he seems very comfortable living hear. As we talked about this and that he would share little bits about his experience living at The homestead and everything he said was positive! He said the food was really good and all the wait staff in the dining room are great and they all do such a good job getting everybody taken care of! He said the gals that sit at the front desk are always friendly and are great at helping anytime they can. I'm not sure he remembers their names but he said the girls that clean his room are fantastic! He also spoke highly of the Director over the Homestead, I believe her name is [Removed]. He said she is kind and caring. He pointed her out to me as She was walking through the lobby and she was taking the time to acknowledge all the residents and to get each one to smile or laugh or just My overall thoughts after seeing how happy my friend is living at The Homstead is that this would be the first place I would recommend to somebody looking for a " home " for a loved one!

This is a nice place for seniors who want to make stay active independent.

Apartment was very small. Dining experience left a lot to be desired not due to food due to rules of management. Residents very friendly. Management at facility difficult and unreasonable.

Amazing place to live! Warm and friendly staff. Beautiful private apartment like rooms with small kitchen areas. Many daily activities and social engagements. Exquisite dining room and excellent food. Personal aides and Medical assistance on site for an additional fee. My mother lived here for 3 years and was treated with love and compassion. I will be eternally grateful to my Homestead family for everything they did for her in her final years.

I have been at the Homestead at Hickory View many times. My initial visit was to visit my Mother and Father In Law when they lived there. What a warm, friendly and homey environment. The staff was so pleasant and caring. It didn't take long to feel as if they were part of our family. Although my Mother and Father In Law are no longer with us, I still stop by and am greeted with the same smiles. We still reminisce about our favorite memories and share new stories and experiences.

The Homestead at Hickory View is a home like community were everyone is looking out for each other. Even the residents. The atmosphere is living at its finest. The dinning is excellent, the food is very good and there are so many choices. The administration really cares about the needs of those people who have chose to live in the community.

My mother's favorite thing about this about the community is the way it's built. The hand rails go throughout the community and are built so well you can't even tell their hand rails, they just seem to be part of the decoration. The staff is amazing, they knew her name after a week of moving in. She is enjoying the company of the other residents and it has been a positive experience for all of us.

Both of my parents were tenants at Homestead View in Washington MO. The care and attention they both received were excellent. The entire staff make it their passion to see that everyone was treated well and that they were at home. This included the entire administration staff, to the medical personnel, and the staff that served the meals. They went out of their way to add the individual touch to everyone. I cannot say anything but positive comments about how well everyone treated everyone. Barb [Removed], is an excellent administrator and was on top of everything. She even drove the Church Bus when she had to. This group gets the highest marks possible in my opinion. My family was extremely and is extremely satisfied with the way everyone performed their responsibility.

Very personable staff. Beautiful facility and great location to doctors, hospitals, shopping, restaurants, etc. Many activities for all residents to enjoy, or quietness in their own apartments/rooms/homes when they prefer that.
