Hickory Hill Retirement Community

Having to make a decision to place a loved one in a nursing home has been an extremely hard one but the folks at Hickory Hill Retirement Community have been so kind working with us patiently and answering everyone of our questions. The retirement community is in a beautiful setting and is more like a home than a facility. Our loved one is very happy there and has had the best of care. The staff has been very attentive to her needs and keeps us informed which is extremely important to us. They have daily activities and the food is fresh and homemade which is a bonus. Hickory Hill Retirement Community has given us peace of mind for sure and we feel like we have become part of their family. If you have to make this difficult decision for a loved one the first and only place to call is Hickory Hill Retirement Community in Burkeville VA, you will be glad you did.

Our dad has been at Hickory Hill since late October 2024. We toured numerous facilities. We were attracted to the fact that HH is family owned and operated. Everyone during the admission process was very helpful and accommodating. From day one all staff engaged our father to welcome him and help him transition the facility. In fact, Dad thanked us for bring him to Hickory Hill. Within a month, he called HH home. We were thrilled. Shortly after admission, Dad fell and broke his hip. We were so grateful that he was at HH since previously he lived alone at home. The outcome of living home and breaking his hip could have been deadly. We were so happy to know that HH was able to handle the hospital admission and his return to HH. HH staff has worked to keep Dad healthy, in the best spirits possible (at 98 years old with dementia), trying to get him to socialize, go to PT (will prompting from staff) and encourage him to go to daily meals. He, in fact, is in a larger pant size. We are SO grateful to the all the staff at Hickory Hill Retirement Community for all they do for our dad- nurses, aids, maintenance staff, dining room staff, PT staff, administration....everyone that sees him speaks and assists as needed. They tell us they enjoy talking with him. There are not enough words to express our gratitude. Pam and Deb

Hickory Hill has been a blessing for my dad and our family as he needs memory care. The staff have been wonderful and we can have peace of mind knowing that he is receiving the care he needs at this time. Thank you to everyone there at Hickory Hill!

My father enjoyed his time at Hickory Hill and they worked tirelessly to make his life enjoyable and peaceful. It is a blessing to have a facility and caring staff like this in Southside Virginia. Choosing the best place for family is not an easy step in life. I cannot thank Hickory Hill enough for all of their assistance. Thank you.

Hickory Hill has been a tremendous blessing to my parents and to our family. It is a small, family run facility and that has made all the difference. I have been able to get to know the family and the staff on a first name basis, all concerns and questions I've had have been quickly addressed, the nurses have been attentive and intentional in my parents' care, and even though the facility is a little older, it is organized, well decorated, and (most importantly to me) it is clean. The meals are fresh and made from scratch. Our family wouldn't hesitate to eat the food and that says a lot, because we are picky eaters. One of the granddaughters of the founder even makes homemade ice cream for the residents on a regular basis. We all know that some of the residents wouldn't know the difference, so this is truly a labor of love and shows her commitment to their care Although I still wish I could care for my parents and many times rehearse in my brain how I could bring them home again, I know it isn't possible. Honestly, I don't know what I would have done with Hickory Hill. There isn't any other retirement community in the area that I would trust around here. I am very grateful for their commitment.
