Hickory's affordability, access to two major hospitals, and desirable quality of life make it a magnet for seniors. As the baby boomer generation ages, facilities offering upscale, personalized care in a stunning setting will capture disproportionate market share. Turnkey Operations + Flexible Investment! The business is included in the purchase price and comes fully staffed with qualified, experienced professionals ready to run the facility today. Current operations include all private-paying residents, with Medicaid billable for ALF units.
