Hilltop Health Care Center is a for-profit senior living community with 50 certified beds, managed by TF Management LLC since December 2024 and jointly owned by Tom Opatz and Fred Struzyk, each holding half. The place has both assisted living and skilled nursing services, so folks who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or managing medicine can get the support they need, while others can get more advanced care if required. Hilltop also offers memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, providing secure housing and activities meant to help reduce confusion or wandering. The building contains Garden View Assisted Living, which shares the structure but has a separate entrance.
Residents have access to a variety of health care services, and there's a focus on person-centered care backed up by a team that includes an administrator, a director of nurses, social worker Carmen Shuck, activities director Leila Linn, dietary manager, and business office manager Becky Guennigsman. The nurse turnover rate is 33.8%, lower than the state average, and staff nurses average 4.42 care hours per resident each day, which is a bit more than you'll usually see at other places in the state. Hilltop received five deficiencies in its last inspection, mostly concerning quality of life and care, resident rights, and nutrition standards, with no actual harm but some potential for more than minimal harm noted.
People often say the staff at Hilltop are kind and helpful, bringing a joyful and welcoming feeling for everyone, and the activities director organizes social, physical, and mental events on a regular basis to help keep folks active and connected. Hilltop says its chefs and meal planners prepare nutritious meals focusing on quality and taste, giving residents well-rounded choices at mealtimes. The community has received recognition with awards like Best of Senior Living and All-Star, highlighting care, activities, and friendliness, though it's important to mention there's no public record of specific reviews so far, but residents and families can talk to senior living advisors for more information. The facility does its best to create a homelike setting and a sense of community, with a philosophy centered on compassion and providing a steady level of care as needs change. The building encourages open communication and social activities, and folks can come in through separate entrances to Garden View and Hilltop even though they're in the same building.
