When you envisioned your retirement, you probably had a few different scenarios in mind. Perhaps relaxing on a porch, talking with friends, or attending stimulating cultural events or concerts.

One problem many people run into as they grow older is lack of access to services. Without the ability use transportation or community resources as they once did, it can be difficult – if not impossible – to enjoy the lifestyle they’ve become accustomed to.

Instead, our goal was to craft an environment where the future was something to look forward to. Creative outings like museum visits, movies, shopping, and theater trips means there is always something exciting just around the corner!

Amenities that are in a league of their own

One of the things that makes community truly outstanding is our focus on creative activities such as our drama club, where our residents put on plays. We love helping others tap into their creative centers. We even hire a technical light and sound team to make the performances come to life! We also have a world history class and discussion group.

It’s things like these that keep our residents engaged and active – creatively, cognitively, and socially. This way, they are able to enjoy every aspect of life to its fullest.

My Mom has been here for 4 years and is very happy. It is a very relaxed, warm and comfortable facility. The staff is very attentive and management very accommodating. Food is great and with an assortment of activities, there seems to be something for everyone. My recommendation is noted but more important is my Mom's opinion. She would highly recommend Hillcrest Royale to anyone thinking of moving into an assisted care home and tells me this often!

Hillcrest Road really is a great community. Their philosophy is to treat everyone like family, and they do a really good job taking care of my dad. My dad was at a another community before that was more corporate in nature, and daily housekeeping wasn't included. My father's room was always a mess because 1) he was used to living with someone who picked up after him and 2) he uses a walker & can't bend over easily to pick up trash on the floor. At Hillcrest Royale they really care about making sure his living environment is clean and pleasant and daily light housekeeping is included. Additional services are reasonable. When my dad fell at the other place, their corporate policy required that we provide someone to sit with him 24/7, which was insane and would have cost us an extra $28,000/month. At Hillcrest Royale, my dad had a stroke and they worked with us to provide additional services for roughly $1000 more per month, which I thought was really reasonable given that the stroke caused incontinence issues and he needed more help with daily living. I'm so glad we moved him to Hillcrest Royale because they're not corporate & he's treated like a valued human being.

A friend of mine became a resident at Hillcrest Royale Retirement back at the beginning of April. Sadly, she passed away at the beginning of September. I wish that she could have started her stay much earlier because of the high quality of care she received there. The food was excellent and the Staff would bend over backwards to do whatever they could to help her. Even during her last days, the local hospice agency was allowed to care for her needs. If you are looking for an excellent Assisted Living facility, I highly recommend Hillcrest Royale Retirement. You won’t be disappointed.
