Traditions at Hillside Retirement Community sits on a large 57-acre campus with landscaped grounds, gardens, meadows, and walking paths in McMinnville, Oregon, right in the heart of wine country, and you'll see cottages with colorful flowers, mature trees, and scenic views all around, so there's plenty of room to walk, garden, or just sit outside. The community offers several living options, including independent living apartments and single-story cottage homes for adults 62 and older, where the bedrooms are bright and inviting, kitchens have modern appliances, and there's high-speed internet, housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance included in monthly fees, which also cover dining, transportation, and activities, so life can feel simpler and more comfortable for seniors who want less hassle.
For those who need more support, there's assisted living with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, plus prepared meals in nice dining rooms, and caregivers and med aides who people say are very nice to residents, with private bathrooms, safety features, and access to community services. Memory care serves people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, offering 24-hour support, secured spaces to prevent wandering, and memory programs with sensory and brain games, all in an area designed for calm and safety, where there's even a bistro and plenty of activities for engagement. Skilled nursing provides round-the-clock medical care, help with medication, wound treatment, and rehabilitation, while short-term rehab is available if someone needs to recover after a hospital stay, and home health care brings support right to a resident's door.
Amenities at Traditions at Hillside include an outdoor pool area, a fitness center with treadmills and weight machines, a game room with billiards and puzzles, arts and crafts studios, a woodworking shop, and community gardens for people who like to stay busy, as well as common areas like a bright lobby, a fireplace lounge, and a library for quieter moments. Residents take part in more than 20 clubs, committees, or groups, with options from music lessons and crafting to food and wine events and gardening, and there's a resident association and other committees like the Housekeeping or Beautification Team for those who like to help run things or improve the grounds.
Dining rooms look out onto green spaces and meadows, have big windows, and offer menus with diabetes-friendly meals and other diets in mind. The community has transportation for medical or personal trips, a mental wellness program, help coordinating with doctors, and a 24-hour call system for safety, with staff available for help with mobility, diabetic care, and incontinence care. Pets are welcome on campus, and there's a dog park and walking paths for exercise. The grounds include vineyards and views of nearby shops and McMinnville's historic downtown, and the atmosphere is peaceful, with events and activities every day for those who want them. Traditions at Hillside is a nonprofit community run by HumanGood, with a focus on resident well-being, lifelong learning, wellness, and the chance to feel connected, whether someone prefers to stay active with others or just relax in the wide open outdoor spaces.
