Memory Care Services in Burkeville, VA

At Hickory Hill, we understand that the needs of individuals with memory impairments are unique. Our memory care in Burkeville, VA, is designed to offer residents a safe, compassionate, and engaging environment where they can feel supported and respected. We focus on enhancing the lives of those with Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive conditions, providing specialized care that is both personalized and professional.

Alzheimer's Care in the "VanHattem" Wing

Our memory care facility features the "VanHattem" wing, a specialized area dedicated to residents who require high levels of support due to Alzheimer's disease or other memory-related conditions. The wing is named in honor of Richard W. VanHattem, Ms. Dee's father, who inspired its creation during his battle with Alzheimer's. Although he did not live to see its completion, his memory lives on in the care we offer here today.
The "VanHattem" wing is a secure, limited-access unit designed to ensure that residents with cognitive disabilities receive the highest quality of care. Our team of trained nurses provides a blend of personal, health, and Alzheimer’s care tailored to each resident’s needs. We also incorporate engaging activities and cognitive stimulation to keep residents active and mentally engaged, all within a beautifully designed and serene environment.

Specialized Features for Comfort and Safety

The VanHattem Wing features spacious rooms equipped with personal lavatories, built-in furniture, and large windows that invite plenty of natural light. Each room is personalized with a "memory box" outside the door, displaying photos and mementos to help residents identify their living spaces, promoting a sense of familiarity and security.
The activity room is a central hub for engagement and stimulation, offering a variety of sensory activities, group games, and physical exercise sessions. It is a place where residents can participate in cognitive activities designed to promote memory recall and overall well-being. Our on-site spa with an Apollo whirlpool bath offers a soothing and rejuvenating experience, specifically designed for residents with cognitive challenges.
In addition, the "gathering room" serves as a cozy space for TV watching, games, and socialization, while the elegant community living room, complete with a fireplace, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The "morning room" is designed to bring the outdoors inside, ensuring that residents can enjoy nature throughout the year. The fenced-in courtyard with spacious wraparound porch gives our residents the pleasure of rocking in the sunlight while providing the safety and security for our loved one in the specialized way. All rooms and hallways are thoughtfully decorated with soft patterns and calming designs, creating a serene environment that encourages visitors to relax and spend time.
