Hilltop Haven, sometimes also called Hilltop Haven, sits in Gunter, Texas, and works under Christian Care Centers, Inc., and it's been active since November 5, 2005, right there at 308 E College St., where you'll find folks run by Administrator David Boggs, and what you see when you walk in is a place offering skilled nursing with long-term care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, sometimes all under one roof so people get the kind of help they need, and the building's got private rooms with private baths, a central fireplace in the common area, and an outdoor patio where residents tend to gather for fresh air or get-togethers. The staff, including teams who speak Armenian, Filipino, and English, help residents with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, and there are special care programs for folks with diabetes, mobility issues, or high medical needs, even those who need memory care with a dedicated secured section built to stop wandering and help ease confusion, which helps families take comfort about safety for loved ones.
The people living here get three meals a day, and if someone needs vegetarian, low salt, or sugar-free food, the kitchen's used to handling that, and the dining room's set up so there's plenty of opportunity to sit down for a meal and spend a while talking to people at other tables, and the activity calendar stretches long with things like art classes, karaoke, stretching exercises, gardening clubs, community service projects, BBQs, picnics, birthday and holiday parties, so there's always something going on if a person wants to join in. Along with that, there are onsite and offsite devotional services which fit with the Christian focus, and people can get beautician services right at the facility, so they don't have to leave for grooming and personal care.
Hilltop Haven says yes to pets, so you'll sometimes see a furry friend in someone's room, and they offer Wi-Fi and cable TV so folks can watch programs or connect online, and there's easy transportation for shopping, errands, medical appointments-either complimentary or at cost depending on trips; people here get housekeeping, laundry, and help with groceries, and if someone only needs to stay a short while-maybe after a surgery or for respite care-Hilltop Haven does that too. Residents who smoke are allowed to do so outside. The property's all accessible for folks who use walkers or wheelchairs, and parking's there for people who need it, and there's a strong focus on supporting the health and dignity of every person, whether they're very independent or need a fair bit of day-to-day care. Hilltop Haven is part of a network of other senior living communities, which sometimes helps with more options, and the staff and residents alike seem to work together to build a calm, home-like community.
