Hillcrest Villages sits on nearly five wooded acres at 40 Leander Street in North Providence. The property is a seven-story building with 130 units, offering cozy studios and larger two-bedroom, one-bath apartments. The building first went up in 1979 and had renovations in 2007, adding new windows, a new roof, and an updated elevator. Residents live in a secure community with fire and life safety features, a high level of security, and an intercom system at entrances and in apartments. A monitor system helps residents stay connected, while a cogeneration machine uses heat to create some of the electricity for the building, and most appliances are energy efficient, so monthly bills can be a little lower. Hillcrest has a fitness center, a rooftop terrace, and common spaces that include a computer lab, which gets a lot of use. The staff here are known for being friendly, helpful, and joyful, and the community's earned awards for their activities and for creating a welcoming place to live.
Residents can join in a variety of social, mental, and physical activities, which keeps everyone engaged and feeling part of things. There's chef-prepared meals with care for nutrition, using good ingredients planned by expert staff, and there are also home care aides for folks who want to stay at home and need a hand with daily needs or just someone to talk with. Hillcrest has several types of senior living, including independent living for active people who prefer fewer chores or want more social options, plus assisted living and memory care. Memory care is set up to help those with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, with special designs to make life less confusing and safer, aiming to stop wandering. Every resident gets a care plan shaped to their specific needs.
The apartments have modern features and spacious layouts, and the whole place keeps a clean, updated look with easy access to local shops and events in the city. Owners and managers keep data on rentals, finance, and upkeep, and there's enough space for seniors who want to adjust or tailor their area. Hillcrest Villages gets recognition for quality care across different needs, and the building is managed by POAH working alongside Rhode Island Housing. The place is meant to offer a stable, welcoming home with services and features made for seniors, whether people are looking for a bit of help or just want to be part of a friendly group.
