Hilltop Village

ReviewerFC071323A

We chose Hilltop Village just because we need a place. It's average. It does need a facelift outside of the building. It does need new carpeting in the hallway and stuff. The closet space is very limited. The outside needs painting and some clean up around the property. They are going to put new carpeting in the apartment. The refrigerator is very small. The stove as well is very small. Otherwise, it's OK. They said they might have a larger apartment, so we'll see. The staff was very nice. We have a little private patio that we can sit out, so that's decent. It needs a little tender loving care. My husband's OK with it. It has a laundry room, which I would not do my laundry in. It wasn't appealing at all. Someone had left their laundry down there and it was on the table. It needs some cleaning out.

Hilltop Village was nice. I've been there before. Unfortunately, my mother died there a long time ago. It wasn't a surprise because I'd been there so many times. It is not quite as amazing as it used to be. They don't even make the food there anymore. They bring it in. I've seen some things that were good, and some things were disappointing. The suite that they wanted to show me was being prepared. Part of the reason that Hilltop is even in the running is because they're relatively inexpensive compared to the others. They have a microwave and a kitchenette. The tour person was knowledgeable, friendly, polite, and professional. She was fine. She did a nice job. They have a nice landscape. They have a facility for sitting and being outside.

I had been to Hilltop Village. It was very nice. They gave me a full tour. They showed me a one-bedroom. It was awesome. It was just right for me. Residents were playing cards. There was a gym. The dining area was nice. They have a patio area where they have trees and flowers. It is very nice. You can sit outside and enjoy nature. The staff were very nice. They offer transportation and that was nice.

I toured Hilltop Village. I didn't care for the parking lot that they had there. It's not in the best neighborhoods, and I'd be a little leery of leaving my car out there. I liked the way the staff treated the people. The staff was really good. They were pretty good. They might not have been excellent, but they were pretty good. The place looked alright, but it didn't look like they had a whole lot going on. There was a gym there and a dining area. It is located close to restaurants. It's close to everything, and the hospital, too. It looked clean.

Hilltop Village was a little dark and sort of crowded for my taste. However, I liked the setting of the individual patios. The staff was fine. The rooms were adequate and nothing too special.

Hilltop Village was nice. It was just very pricy. They wanted a $1,000 deposit, and that was more than the rent. How could you ask for $1,000 and the rent was only $890? I've only seen one lady, and she was very nice. The room was clean and small. It had a bed, four walls, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It wasn't updated. You had to pay for everything. It's $200 if they wanted a ride to the grocery store with the bus per month. They had a meal plan with somebody coming to feed you, and I think that was $600 a month, and you'll get a lunch and a dinner.

My dad is now in Hilltop Village. It's good for people living independently, but he doesn't fit the criteria because he needs a higher level of care. Sometimes, somebody comes by and would do some cleaning on his room, but I'm generally doing the cleaning myself. They have activities like bingo, singing here and there, a television and a TV room. Since it's an independent living, the people here come and go. They pay for meals and they're provided the meals. They have a cafeteria, but it comes as part of his rent. They've got a laundromat and a big cafeteria, so they're good with the amenities and the building is good.

Our experience with Hilltop Village was good, but it was not what I wanted. The apartments were like cottages. They were nice, but the staff person determined that it was too much money. Two bedrooms would have been $1000 or more and it's too much for my pocket. They're very nice people and very warm. I have no problem with any of it except that it was too much money for two-bedroom and one-bedroom would not have been enough. The living quarters were small. Everything was beautiful and well kept. There's no problem there. The facilities were beautiful. It was a senior community to the point there were things that they provided that I was not ready for. I have a part-time job, I do my own meals, and I don't need anyone to clean my apartment. I'm old, but I'm not that old, and I'm not that ready to go into that kind of setting. I'm still pretty independent. What they have is beautiful for those that need it, but I didn't need all of those things, and even if they took all of those extra items out of my rent, if they didn't have to supply those things, my rent was still not cheap. I can't do $1000 for two bedrooms. They have a lot of amenities, the meals, they will clean your apartment if you need it, bus rides where they could go to different things in the city, shopping, to the casino, and some other things. They took care of them well. The one person we met was very personable. She knew what she was doing and she knew what she was talking about. The facility was well taken care of and it was clean. Their dining room was orderly and clean. The way it's built, with all the trees and everything, the apartments were dark, even though each room had windows. I was visiting a friend who lived there and sitting on the inside, it was dark and it was in the middle of the afternoon. It was a nice place; it was just too dark. I like the fact that it was cottage-style. There was no one over your head. Everything was a single floor and that was nice, but I would not want to stay there. It was just too dark and too small.

My mother was in Hilltop Village. She's been there almost three years. It's beautiful, and we had no major issues. She didn't participate in a lot of things, but they did a lot with the seniors. They took them shopping, they scheduled doctor's stuff, they had bingo, they had live bands that came in, they had birthday celebrations of the month, and you got to have two guests. Their food at the events was better than on a daily basis.

I went to Hilltop Village. They seemed interested. The staff went over and beyond to show me all around the facility. She told me what was offered. She told me how I'm independent now, but in the future I can transition with the help they have. They have other services, too. From what I saw, everything looked especially clean. The lawn was manicured really well. I love the rooms. It would be everything I would be looking for. There is a grocery store across the street.

Prices too high, staff is disrespectful, seems like no one cares. Building is filthy.

I didn't like Hilltop Village. When we first walked in the lady that I was supposed to meet was not there. That really was not professional. She didn't tell me that she was not gonna be there. I got there at 5:00 and we waited in the front area until 5:10, then they called back and they found out the lady had left. She is the one that shows you around. After that, they called for a worker to come back who couldn't even show us the room. They need a lot of updates in that building. The carpet was nasty. The front area where we sat was dusty looking. After we sat down and waited, we really didn't ask too many questions. The staff just showed us a room and that was it, and then we left. We didn't get a chance to sit down with somebody to tell us what they had.

Hilltop Village was great. The lady who gave me the tour was very nice and informative. The apartments were very nice and roomy. The dining area was large, nice, and looked clean. It's a nice neighborhood, quiet, and lots of stores were right in the immediate area. The staff member was very courteous and professional.

Hilltop Village is wonderful. I will be moving in at the end of August into a one-bedroom suite with a kitchen. I will also have a carport for my car. The director showed me the community and spent at least 20 minutes telling me about the place. They offer meals and laundry, but you have to pay for them. I will have a kitchen, but if I wanted to have meals, I could have meals. They have a large dining area and will supply the meals, but I would have to pay for them. If I need transportation, I would have to pay for that, too. There's a community fee that has to be paid, too. Hilltop Village didn't have any amenities except that it is a nice, quiet, clean community.

I visited Hilltop Village. The 1-bedroom was nice, and the 2-bedroom had common areas in-between which were also nice. They had places where the residents could meet and have services, they had a small workout room, a large dining hall, and an activity scheduled every day. They also have activities off-campus.

Hilltop Village is right next door to where I live now. Everything is A-1. The staff knows their job. They have bingo and cards, but I don't participate in any of that. It's very nice and well kept.

I have been at Hilltop Village twice. It looks old, but, other than that, it was OK and clean.

I was very impressed with Hilltop, but my father couldn't afford it. The rooms were like individual rooms, and I liked that he wouldn't be sharing. I was impressed with their programs. They had a lot of activities for the seniors to do. They took them on mall trips and to the grocery stores where they could do their shopping. They had bingo nights, and every day they had something going on. They also had extra outside excursions where they took them to movies or even to the casino, and you don't even had to pay extra for those. I also liked the fact that they had somebody come in to remind him of his meds and stuff like that. However, the price was not something that he would be able to afford. The lady who showed me around was very nice. I liked the fact that she had called me back just to follow-up and what not. Overall, I really liked the place and wanted him to be there. I am still looking for funding right now. I would recommend it to anyone who could afford to stay there.
