In spite of the heat of summer, residents at Hickory Valley: A Senior Living Community are still getting out and enjoying all that the Scenic City and its surrounding areas have to offer.
“With this age group especially, getting out and staying active is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” said Hickory Valley sales director Mia Preston. “It’s good to stay busy to combat depression and keep your spirits up.”
Being stuck sitting around is something you will not find residents of Hickory Valley doing. Whether it’s shopping at Hamrick’s and grabbing lunch or participating in an on-site exercise class, there are many options to help occupy residents’ time and keep them healthy and active.
The community’s activities director is Melissa Gadd. She says that if you stop laughing you stop living, and that’s not something she or any of the staff at Hickory Valley will let happen.
“She offers so many different outings and activities that the calendar is completely full every month,” Preston said. “Every outing always fills up too, which says a lot about the great job she does finding things to get people out and enjoying themselves.”
