Hillcrest of Wayzata Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center sits at 15409 Wayzata Boulevard, and the first thing you'll probably notice is the pretty grounds with gardens, a nature path, and even a pond where geese sometimes gather, and the staff work hard to keep everything clean and pleasant, so folks feel comfortable and welcome, whether they're out in the garden or using the walking paths. The inside has a home-like feel with furnished rooms, a beauty salon and barber on-site, a movie area, a house theater, an arts room, and areas for both indoor and outdoor sitting, plus there's Wi-Fi and cable TV for residents who like staying connected or watching their favorite shows.
The facility offers a wide range of care, like assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, independent living, and outpatient therapy, with help for daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, getting from a bed to a chair, and moving around safely, and there is always a nurse around, and social workers who get called very nice, helping folks and families figure things out when moving in. Services also cover medication management, mental wellness programs, special diets such as meals for diabetes or allergies, plus nutrition tailored for all kinds of needs, with meals served in a dining room or through all-day dining for those who eat at different times.
Residents get weekly entertainment like a flutist, on-site activities, devotional services off-site, and a steady schedule of community-sponsored events, so people don't feel bored or left out, and transportation is arranged for doctor's visits, errands, or just to get out nearby, where you'll find grocery stores, coffee shops, gas stations, pharmacies, and restaurants pretty close. Safety stays front and center too, thanks to a 24-hour call system, an emergency alert in every room, and round-the-clock staff help, while wheelchair access and thoughtful layouts make daily life easier.
Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in planning are part of the package, and there's also a kitchenette in some rooms for more independence. The facility's licensed as Housing With Services and offers both long-term and short-term stays, including rehab programs for those who need to recover after illness or injury, plus continuing care for people who want to stay in a familiar place as their needs change over time. The nursing staff get described as highly competent and supportive, especially with residents who need more hands-on help or skilled care, and the admissions folks are known for being compassionate as families make their choice. Hillcrest of Wayzata is widely seen as a helpful, friendly place for seniors who want quality care in a pleasant setting, and the grounds with the pond and flocks of geese really do make it stand out, so you'll remember it for its peacefulness and sense of community.
