Every staff member here bent over backwards to help me accomplish my goals. I came in on agurney. I worked with PT and OT and they really pushed me. Because of them I am walking out on my own 2 feet. You can count on professional service. Edgar, the C.N.A is an amazing person. He goes out of his way to help.

I had many concerns about my mother in a skilled nursing facility, and I'm grateful that the folks at Hillcrest made her month-long stay such a positive and healing experience. She got wonderful care and physical therapy, and the staff is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and responsive. Beyond excellent nursing care and physical therapy, the staff's support was hugely helpful in getting her to doctors' appointments, navigating her meds, and providing encouragement after a tough fall and through a lot of pain. They made our transition to home care possible. It's an old hospital with sometimes-tight quarters, but my mom's experience at Hillcrest was a clear reminder that it's great staff that makes all the difference in helping people heal. If my mom ever again needs skilled nursing, we would both absolutely choose Hillcrest.
