Our dad has lived at Garden View Assisted Living attached to Hilltop Care Center since 2016. He loves everything about it. He calls the staff his "family"—truly great care and attention. When Dad is recovering after hospital situations, he goes to the Hilltop Care Center side for his transitional care. Equally happy when there. He can visit his Garden View apartment while getting PT/OT. We kids, Do Not live in the Watkins area, so it is priceless to know Dad is in very good hands. Thank you, Garden View/Hilltop !!
