Absolute love living here! After leaving my acreage in Roca, where I spent too much time alone, I've found a whole new life. I'm now a Resident Ambassador, involved in almost every activity and outing, but love pitch and black jack the most. The people, the activities, and sense of community are incredible. Best decision I've made. I have lived here in independent living for 1 1/2 years now. I will admit they do have some growing pains, but they are working through them. The staff here works hard to make life, pleasant and easy. The food lately has been exceptional and above my expectations. The director of lifestyles, LAURA; has been a great service for fun and entertainment. We’ve had live music, activities galore, and outings around the community. As for Maintenance, I have not picked up a wrench or screw driver unless I wanted too. This community and the tenants that live here treat you like family.

Our Mom has been living at Hillcrest Highlands of Gretna a few weeks and she loves it. The staff are polite, professional, and helpful. The apartment is clean, spacious, and quite nice. She really likes the restaurant and prefers their meals to eating out at a restaurant. The Hillcrest sponsored activities are fun for her and she has made multiple friends in a short time. We highly recommend Hillcrest Highlands.

The staff have been amazing!! Our mother has only been there for a couple of weeks and is loving it. The residents are kind and so friendly (per my mom who's 88 years old).

Our dad lived at Hillcrest The Highlands in independent living. His apartment and the overall senior living facility was wonderful. He made many friends and the staff was caring and kind. My husband and I are part of a ministry that visits residents as well. We are blessed to be welcomed to the facility and to get to know the residents. The community experience was terrific for our dad after moving from a small town to the city. We recommend Hillcrest The Highlands without reservation.

Buyer Beware, don’t let the new finishes fool you. Hillcrest Highlands in Gretna charge a flat rate not based on the level of care. That level of care is shady. Their personal aides have no medical backgrounds. But when the level of care for my mom increased they failed. We had Hospice come in, thank god. Hospice was our voice, but Hillcrest Highlands stilled failed our family expectations of level of care. There was a failure of care when our mom was left in the dining room for probably 2 hours asleep in her wheelchair and she had water spilled on her. 2 hours with no aid or any other personal see her left in the dining room? Let’s talk about the theft that occurs they will steal from your loved one!! We had money stolen from my mom’s billfold, we intentionally hid money and it was stolen, they stole money out of my purse when I took my mom to lunch. Final straw my mom was dying and someone stole a gift card. Please read and buyer beware.
