Hilltop Lodge Health and Rehabilitation

Hilltop Lodge Health and Rehabilitation in Beloit, Kansas, is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center that offers nursing care for those who need help with daily living and medical needs, with both short-term rehab and long-term care for folks who are very frail or need a lot of assistance, and you've got options like assisted living and independent living, too, for seniors who want a mix of privacy and support, with private rooms, suites, or two-bedroom apartments, and some places even have kitchenettes if someone can handle a little cooking themselves. People living at Hilltop Lodge get access to 24-hour nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there's also dental and occupational therapy services, along with memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia. Most folks average about 66 residents per day, with 90 certified beds, so it stays busy but never feels too crowded, and staff members tend to know everyone by name, trying to keep a homelike atmosphere, and reviews point out how fast the nurses are when there's a change or issue with residents, and family members can stay in guest rooms when they visit, which is helpful. Folks get support with daily things like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine, with extra amenities like meals, transportation to appointments, laundry, and housekeeping, and they run activity programs, social services, and outings, and residents often enjoy the courtyard with peacocks, which is a bit of a unique sight in a small-town Kansas facility. Hilltop Lodge is affiliated with Recover Care Healthcare and has Mrc Snf Management Llc running things since May 2023, and while they focus on resident-centered care, some recent health inspection reports have found areas that need work-there have been 51 deficiencies in total, including issues with infection control and food and nutrition staffing, and there was an $18,545 fine for accidents and supervision in November 2024, with deficiencies in making sure the building and grounds are free of accident hazards, so it pays to look at the actual inspection records if that's important to you. The nursing staff works hard, though the turnover rate is high at 59.5%, higher than the state average, and nurse staffing hours per resident are below average at 3.33 hours a day compared to the state's 4.0, which is something to consider. Even so, Hilltop Lodge has gotten nods for thoughtful care and engagement, earning some awards and a 7.0 review score from one reviewer, and it's seen as a reliable place for both long-term or short-term nursing and rehabilitation in Beloit, especially for folks who want local staff and the feel of a community where people look out for each other.
