Hillside Manor Personal Care Home sits in a country setting with scenic views of the Laurel Mountains and Jumonville, making it feel a bit like a small town with nostalgia in mind, where the entryway looks much like a town square and hallways look like sidewalks leading up to rooms made to feel like front stoops, so when folks walk around, it feels familiar and welcoming. Rooms here come in different types-studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, or two-bedroom-with separate pricing for each, letting residents pick what suits them best, whether they want more privacy or to share. Inside, the community has cozy living spaces like a 50's diner, a bowling area, a movie theater, and spaces that help people gather, chat, and enjoy themselves, and there's an indoor-outdoor "town square" for strolling or sitting.
Meals get served as part of living here, and there's a real focus on having well-balanced, home-cooked food, including taking care of special diets if needed, so meal preparation doesn't have to be a worry. Staff members help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, or transferring from bed to wheelchair, and they always stand by to help in emergencies, with care available all day and night. Folks who need diabetic care get help with insulin and sliding scale therapy, and those who manage incontinence themselves can still get support. For those unable to move by themselves, staff provide standby or full help with transfers, and common areas let everyone spend time together or get to know their neighbors.
The health care team includes RNs, LPNs, and a full-time Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner, working with residents' own doctors, so there's plenty of medical support and even a second opinion when needed, and staff members-many of whom have worked here for years-are trained to be kind, patient, and watchful. Hospice services are available onsite, and Hillside Manor works with all Home Health and Hospice agencies so people can keep their own caregivers if they prefer, all while living in a clean and safe place.
There is a strong focus on community, safety, and comfort, and the Memory Care Community stands ready for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering activities and surroundings aimed at keeping minds active and reducing confusion, with rooms decorated with familiar items and staff specially trained in memory care. Residents find a range of daily activities onsite, some devotional activities offsite, and a calendar full of events meant to keep everyone moving, socializing, and feeling at home. Families and residents may find comfort knowing that every room, hallway, and gathering place is fully accessible by wheelchair and that the focus here remains on independence, choice, and quality of life, as folks are encouraged to join activities, visit with others, or take walks on their own schedule. Hillside Manor Personal Care Home isn't perfect, but it is a thoughtful and comforting place for those looking for assisted living or memory care, with a country-home atmosphere and a helpful staff.
