The Bridge At Hickory Woods

The Bridge at Hickory Woods receives a mix of reviews from residents, their families, and former employees. Many highlight the community's vibrant social life, including music, ice cream socials, movies, and games, praising its beautiful and clean environment. The staff, including nursing, kitchen, and office personnel, are commended for their caring and helpful nature, making residents feel blessed to be part of the community.

However, a former employee raises concerns about the quality of care, particularly during the third shift, and suggests a discrepancy between the facility's charges and the quality of staff retention. Another review points out challenges with staffing and service limitations, such as transportation for medical appointments only being available on certain days and within specific areas, which was not disclosed upfront.

Positive feedback includes appreciation for the facility's aesthetics, the professionalism and supportiveness of the management staff, and the welcoming nature of both staff and residents. The community is described as having a resort-like feel, with many activities and amenities that contribute to a high quality of life for its residents.

On the other hand, some criticisms include issues with meal quality, with reports of dissatisfaction among residents regarding the food served by the new head chef. Concerns are also raised about the facility's response to emergencies and respect towards residents, including an incident where an elderly lady was allegedly removed from the facility during hospitalization without prior notice, and issues related to maintenance and staffing.

Overall, while many reviews celebrate the community's environment, staff, and management, highlighting it as a wonderful place to live, others suggest areas for improvement, particularly in transparency, staffing, and resident care.
