Congratulations on taking the first step towards a more fulfilling experience! The journey to find the right environment where seniors live, thrive, and enjoy life can seem daunting, but it’s an essential and rewarding decision.
The next crucial step is determining the appropriate levels of senior care.

“The Hills was truly an answer to my prayer. Not knowing what to do with my Mom once she could no longer live independently, we discovered The Hills and their excellent staff. We were able to move her in immediately and since September 2019, they have taken care of her in a way we never could. They look after her every need and she has been very happy there. The staff is incredible and openly communicates with us each time we’re there. Having Mom at The Hills gives us peace of mind and we are able to go about our life without having to constantly worry about her care and well being.”
