A True Home Environment

The Cottages were built to replicate the comforting feel of a private home. Each 14,000-square-foot Cottage includes:

  • An open-concept kitchen at the heart of the home
  • A family-style dining area where meals are shared with fellow residents and caregivers
  • A spacious living room with hearth fireplace, player piano and large-screen TV
  • Library with a “Kids’ Corner” for visiting family
  • A whirlpool bath suite and salon
  • Outdoor patio and walking paths near a scenic pond and waterfall

This layout fosters a strong sense of community and connection while encouraging residents to maintain their routines and independence. Whether your loved one enjoys sleeping in or prefers early breakfasts, the Cottage cook is ready to prepare meals to order, including snacks and delicious baked goods throughout the day. Our registered dietitian ensures every resident’s nutritional needs are met according to their care plan.

Personalized Long-Term Nursing Care

The Cottages provide 24-hour skilled nursing care that adapts to meet changing medical and personal needs. Residents receive personalized assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, medication administration and mobility. During regular Life Plan meetings, our team reviews care levels and rates to ensure that each resident receives the right support.

Compassionate Team, Culture of Caring

Every team member at Hillcrest Country Estates Cottages is specially trained in person-centered care and takes pride in forming deep connections with each resident. Many caregivers view their work as a calling, providing not only skilled support but heartfelt companionship that uplifts the spirit.

Our culture promotes autonomy, comfort and meaningful living. From cooking and caregiving to activities and engagement, everything revolves around the resident’s needs and preferences.
