We stopped in to see the Hillcrest Homes assisted living facility while in the area looking for places for our aunt to live. We could see that it is a nice community with a home-style atmosphere and that the residents there are content and well cared for. The ample backyard area featured many places for the seniors to enjoy themselves safely. There was also had plenty of park-like space with tranquil, large trees and nicely manicured lawns. As we walked through the building, the fresh flowers smelled good and accented the design nicely. Every room seemed easy to navigate with nice views and lots of fresh air and light in a calming décor. The food looked and smelled delicious, and was healthily prepared. The menus included a nice variety of dishes, in addition to American standards. They offer snacks regularly throughout the day and whenever desired.
