Hillcrest Home sits in Westmoreland, NH, where seniors find a community that offers nursing care, independent living, assisted living, memory care, and residential care homes all in one place, so you see folks with different needs living together and helping each other, which means people who need simple help with things like bathing or getting dressed can get that, but those with more complex needs like dementia or hospice can get the kind of attention they need too, and the care team includes trained staff, nurses, aides, and people who provide therapy, which covers everything from physical rehab to memory support and even hospice care if it's required. The place really aims to feel like home, with private and semi-private suites, private showers and whirlpool spas in every room, climate control, WiFi, cable, and phone service, plus family-like surroundings and friendly staff who try hard to build relationships and offer dignity and respect while encouraging residents to live as independently as possible.
For people who want a bit of home care or don't stay long, there are adult day programs, respite stays, and a way to recover after illness or surgery, so there's help on hand if someone just needs a break or to get back on their feet. Hillcrest Home's care homes sit in residential neighborhoods and often house small groups with shared live-in caregivers, so seniors dealing with memory loss are in a setting that's designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and the staff offers therapies just for those with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia. You'll notice the environment's calm-lots of outdoor terraces, enclosed gardens, walking paths, a greenhouse, garden plots, and pond for fishing or sitting on a bench, which works for folks who like the outdoors but want to feel safe, and there are both underground and surface parking for cars.
The dining options go from a country club style dining room to a homier bistro grille and café, with private dining rooms for family visits, so mealtimes are flexible, and to keep life interesting there's a schedule of recreational and educational activities like arts and crafts, horticultural programs, a learning center, youth visitor activities, and group outings to local places, and facilities include a wellness center, heated pools indoors and out, a woodshop, billiard room, performing arts spaces, chapels, and an auditorium for bigger events or worship, plus recreational areas like bocce, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, and pickleball. Hillcrest Home's pet-friendly, so small animals are welcome, and you'll see dog walking stations and pet treats available, and transportation covers resident bus and van trips, planned outings, and walking trails for safe exercise.
Residents and families can pay online, use a member login, file complaints easily, and read or leave reviews through the customer review program, plus they can view complete reports on care quality, all adding up to a transparent way to stay informed. Amenities include postal and newspaper delivery, notary service, house maintenance, housekeeping, on-site chaplain, security, and structured programs to support all aging needs, which makes it practical for seniors who want choices in their living arrangements and care but still have all the comforts and support they need to feel at home and safe.
