Hillcrest Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits over on Little Drive in New Kensington, keeping regular hours every day from eight in the morning until nine at night, and what you notice right away is how much folks here try to build a true sense of community, because they don't just run programs for residents but encourage people and their families to be part of things, with caregivers who're treated with respect and get ongoing training that helps create a warm and comfortable feeling throughout the building. The staff work hard to make sure everyone gets care with dignity, and rooms come fully furnished to help residents settle in and feel at home. People can get around with the help of the community's transportation, and there's a wide list of shared spots to use in the center, like a beauty salon, computer place, dining and fitness rooms, a game room, nice gardens and outdoor areas, a small library, and a wellness center-plus they keep everyone active with meals planned for different diets, daily activities, day trips, and even some that the residents help run themselves.
For those needing care, there's nursing staff on duty twelve to sixteen hours each day, and a 24-hour call system helps keep everyone safe during the night. Folks get help with bathing, dressing, moving around, medication, and mental wellness support, along with restaurant-style meals, private bathrooms, and steady housekeeping and linen services to keep things tidy. Hillcrest handles skilled nursing for people who need ongoing medical attention, offering wound care, round-the-clock skilled nurses, short-term stays for rehabilitation, and long-term living, with focused programs for cardiac and orthopedic rehab as well as physical, speech, and occupational therapy.
People with memory problems will find there's memory care features with special programs, support any time of the day or night, and activities meant to help exercise the mind. Assisted living services mean help with daily living, medicine, personal care, and meals is always on hand. Families can expect unique things like support groups and counseling along with regular social and recreation events, trying to give folks personal attention in a place that feels welcoming and familiar, where the staff do their jobs with care and keep the place modern, safe, and focused on health and wellness.
