My mom has moved into The Woodlands at Hillcrest. She chose it because she felt the most comfortable there. The rooms are very nice, but the staff is not as responsive as I would like them to be. The food is good. The dining area is very nice. It is clean and nicely decorated. The chairs and tables are comfortable. My mom can eat at any table that she wants to. The lighting is nice. It is bright and it is like being at home. There is a workout session every morning, there is bingo several times a week, there are church activities, one night a week they have wind down Wednesday, there are movies nearly every day, and there are groups that get together and play bridge. My mom could be busy everyday if she wanted to. There is a gym if you want to walk on a treadmill or do some easy workouts, and it's open 24 hours a day. My mom can get up to five trips a month to the doctor for absolutely no cost. There is a snack bar that they can go to any time if they want. It has cookies, softdrinks, and coffee. It is very expensive, but that's true of all those kinds of places.

The Woodlands at Hillcrest has been fine so far and the place is very nice. Everybody was very friendly. The accommodations are very nice. My parents-in-law think the food is very good. The place is very pleasant, quiet, and very beautiful. They have a beauty shop and different activities that go on there.

The Woodlands is welcoming and when we enter, we are welcomed with a smile! The community itself is warm and welcoming! The apartments are spacious and we like that my grandma is able to safely get around the community! The staff have provided constant interaction with our grandma, which she has needed to adjust to her new home. Our grandma has always been a picky eater, and she loves the food here! Our family is thankful for the transportation services for outings and appointments so we don’t have to worry about how we are going to safely get her in and out of our vehicles! She loves being able to participate in activities that she loves! The woodlands provides a wide variety of scheduled daily activities! She has expressed more interest in the fitness center activities, which helps her keep the strength to be as independent as she can. We could go on for hours! This community is amazing!!

Caring for your loved one is always hard, and transitioning to a new place at age 92 is a huge tole on you and your loved ones. Upon 1 phone and a 30-minute onsite tour, I know that The Woodlands at Hillcrest was going to be the place for my dad. The facility is amazing, and every staff member at the Hillcrest gives 100 % care for loved ones. They treat you like "Family". As they age they become dependent upon the family, and at some times in life you can not be there 24 hours a day, but knowing that someone is watching them gives peace of mind they are safe and secure. From the fitness center to the wonderful dining facilities and all the daily activities, there are plenty of things to keep them busy.

The Woodlands at Hilcrest hosts many holiday events, at which they have many forms of stellar entertainment and delicious food to go along with it! I attended a event recently to see a choir that was performing, and it was not only great family fun, but the interior design, friendly staff, and welcoming environment exceeded all expectations. I would STRONGLY recommend the Woodlands at Hilcrest to anyone looking for retirement living!

The Woodlands at Hillcrest was very good. If we have to move my mother that's where we probably would take her. They had several activities that were going on as we walked through, especially in the memory care unit. They have a beauty shop, we saw the dining area, and looked at some of the rooms. I didn't meet any of the other staff members other than the person giving the tour. They also have some courtyard areas.

The Woodlands at Hillcrest was really nice. It was brand new and had lots of rooms available. The place was marvelous, very welcoming, very open, nice, and bright. They had lots of room outside. The rooms that I saw were very comfortable, a nice size, and had space for a couple of chairs. The staff seemed very involved and there seemed to be a lot of them always around for the residents, especially in the memory care unit. Anywhere you see a resident, you would see at least one staff member. They had laundry facilities, salon, spas, and exercise rooms. They had a lot of ways for the residents to still be very active and encouraged them to get involved and stay busy.

I highly recommend The Woodlands at Hillcrest! Both my parents live in the memory care community. We never saw this coming, but now mom and dad are enjoying their days together and safe. The journey was long and stressful to get to this point, but the day we toured the facility we knew this was the right place! The rooms are spacious and very clean. The staff...they are amazing! I know they are filling in the gaps that we no longer can. Mom and dad are loved! Each day they become more involved with the staff and other residents. Its like a big family!

The facility is bright, clean, and comfortable. Rooms in the memory care area are spacious and common areas are welcoming.
We’ve yet to meet a staff member who isn’t warm and caring.

The Woodlands at Hillcrest is average, new, and nice in appearance, but the care and the service is somewhat lacking. They have not lived up to the expectations they gave us beforehand, but because my parents need more care than what they're receiving at another location, we had to move them, and this is the best alternative. They have the potential to do more and better. They're not fully engaged at this time. The food is above average. They told us there'd be lots of activities and that they would be getting out of their roomst a lot and kept busy, but every time I go there, they're in their room with the TV on asleep in their chairs. They've had one outing since they've been there. Other than that, I haven't seen them engaged in any activities whatsoever. The potential is there, they're just not fully established. The residents are very dependent on people being there and helping them. During mealtimes there are people sitting at the tables and there is no visible staff anywhere in the unit. They said there would always be at least two people on hand, but there was nobody that I saw.

Thank you for providing us with this valuable feedback. We would welcome the opportunity to have a discussion so that we can better understand and address the concerns.
