The continuous care that Green Hills offers is the best. The dietary department plans and prepares meals appropriate for residences of all needs whether in independent living, assisted living, or health care. The chefs are creative in preparing a variety of menus using local dairy and produce as possible and quality meats sustainably and humanely raised.
