Hillcrest Residential Care

Hillcrest Assisted Living offers an affordable living option with a country feel, located just outside of town. The facility provides a home-like environment, with home-cooked meals and a large kitchen, aiming to avoid a hospital-like atmosphere. However, some visitors have noted that the facility appears dated and unkept, with older decor and maintenance issues. The rooms are described as small but adequate, and the staff, including the LPN, cook, and owner, are generally praised for their friendliness and efforts to improve the environment.

Despite its attempts at creating a welcoming atmosphere, some have found Hillcrest Assisted Living not to be the right fit for their loved ones, citing concerns over the condition of the facility, including cleanliness and suitability for wheelchair users. The facility has been described as old and not well maintained, with some visitors expressing dissatisfaction with the level of personal care and interaction provided by the staff.

On the positive side, Hillcrest is commended for its large, wooded outdoor area, providing a peaceful setting. The facility offers transportation services, activities, and personalized care, including assistance with daily living activities. Some reviews highlight the sense of community and family among residents and staff, with specific praise for the owner and the efforts to keep residents informed and involved.

However, there are mixed feelings about the management and staff, with some negative experiences reported regarding interactions with the owner and staff members. Despite these criticisms, there are residents and family members who are satisfied with the care received, appreciating the facility's country atmosphere, the quality of food, and the overall value for the cost.

In summary, Hillcrest Assisted Living presents a mixed picture, with its affordable pricing and home-like environment being attractive to some, while others are deterred by the facility's physical condition and aspects of the care provided. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to tour the facility and speak with staff and current residents to determine if Hillcrest meets their needs and expectations.
