Hickory Hill Retirement Community

Enjoy your retirement by joining the Hickory Hill community! Located in Burkeville, VA, we are a family-owned-and-operated senior living community that provides our residents with everything they need to live happily. From memory care and housekeeping to meal preparation and transportation, we do it all.

The staff at Hickory Hill loves meeting new people who are considering joining our retirement community. We offer different rates depending on the level and type of care needed. They are very competitive, and we are always willing to answer questions you or your family member may have. 

Hickory Hill assisted living residents will receive daily personal assistance with hygiene and grooming as needed, as well as with two or three of their ADLs. An individualized service plan (ISP) is developed from the resident's initial assessment by Hickory Hill along with information from family members. It is commonly referred to as the care plan. The resident care plan is the tool which our dedicated and professional team of licensed and certified nurses use to provide 24-hour, 7 days per week assisted living care.

As a resident's needs increase, and the ISP reflects the necessity of assistance with four or more of the above ADLs, the status of the resident is then elevated to "intensive assisted living." Our purpose is to provide peace of mind to families with the knowledge your loved one's needs are being met by a loving, compassionate, and professional staff.

For individuals who can do most everything for themselves, residential living is perfect for them. Hickory Hill offers different room options for non-disabled residents. We even welcome you to bring your own car if you want to continue to drive. Contact us to learn more about our living arrangements.

When you become a part of our community, we provide you with the freedom to enjoy retirement with others of your own age. You don't have to worry about meal preparation, home upkeep, yard work, or housekeeping. Our friendly staff will handle it all for you. Please note that monthly rental includes all personal supplies.

If needed, we provide our residents with assistance for one activity of daily living (ADL) while still retaining all their independence. We have many activities to choose from that you can enjoy.

Today, the Hickory Hill Van Hattem wing (limited access unit) is open to residents with serious needs and cognitive disabilities. Our specialized team of trained nurses provides joy and happiness while providing professionalism in personal, health, and Alzheimer's care, activities, and stimulation in an environment of beautiful surroundings.

Special features include spacious rooms with personal lavatories and toilets, built-in chest of drawers, closets, and large windows with cheerful window treatments. The sconce wall lighting provides many different combinations to please even the lightest sleeper. A unique feature located just outside the residents' doors is the "memory box." It is designed to accommodate photos and special mementos to assist the resident in identifying his or her room. Plus, it helps with their memory care.

The sunny and bright activity room is always inviting for individual or group games, exercise sessions, or parties. It is specially designed for sensory stimulation. Moreover, our SPA with Apollo whirlpool bathing is a relaxing and invigorating experience, designed to pamper each resident. The private showers located throughout the wing are wheelchair accessible, featuring a large built-in shower chair.

Our "gathering room" for TV watching and game playing, a lovely community living room with fireplace, and "morning room" to bring the outdoors inside all year long, complement each other in an elegant design. These rooms (as well as main hallways) are carpeted with a beautiful floral pattern and coordinating border. The soft design of the wallpaper, lovely wall-hangings, and elegant window treatments all flow together to entice you to stay a little longer and visit.

A centrally located doctor's exam room and nurse's station is also available. The fenced-in courtyard with spacious wrap-around porch gives one the pleasure of rocking in the sunlight, bringing back wonderful childhood memories. Our courtyard provides the security we expect for our loved ones in this specialized wing as well.

We saved the dining room for last because it is the most important room for our residents. Not only is it spacious but also bright (many windows), cheerful, and elegant. The residents are greeted by soothing music and assisted by loving and attentive staff. Very often, residents are joined by a family member for one of our delicious meals to enjoy their mealtime 'family style'.

The "Van Hattem" wing residents are protected by the security of the Wandergard system (bracelets and coded keypads). We also keep them safe with a state-of-the-art video monitoring system throughout.
