Hillview Health Care Campus

Hillview Health Care Campus, sometimes called Hillview Health Care Center, sits in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and has a wide range of services for older adults, so people can get independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, home care, adult daycare, hospice, and respite care, and the place has 199 nursing beds dedicated to long-term and short-term rehabilitation, plus Carroll Heights offers 55 independent living apartments in a four-story building for people who want an active, maintenance-free lifestyle, and Hillview Terrace has 30 assisted living apartments across two stories, and there are also residential care homes and supportive housing with 10 beds for temporary use, all overseen by La Crosse County for a focus on respectful and community-centered care. Assisted living services help with things like dressing, bathing, medication, meals, laundry, and daily activities, and there are personal care assistants, as well as nursing support for up to 16 hours each day, with 24-hour call systems and supervision for safety. The site's memory care unit, The Oaks, is a secure, 10-bed facility for people with dementia or special behavioral needs, and four more rooms are set aside for dementia stabilization, with short-term units available to meet changing health needs over time, and property grounds have nice outdoor walking paths where it's common to see deer, ducks, and geese, good for visits from families and friends, along with communal indoor spaces like a sunshine room, chapel, coffee nook, and sitting areas that help people feel at home. Nursing support includes things like wound care, medication management, occupational therapy, and help with diseases and mental health, and the building has features like restaurant-style dining, air conditioning, cable TV, WiFi, washers and dryers, private bathrooms, kitchenettes in some rooms, and regular housekeeping and linen service, plus game and activity rooms, a dining area, fitness center, salon/barbershop and strong safety and handicap measures. The campus provides a wide variety of social and health activities, including arts and crafts, education courses, health and wellness programs, substance abuse support, mental health programs, dental access, immunizations, and even radon and rabies prevention, with ties to resources like the Aging & Disability Resource Center and local affiliated apartments. Transportation services are available for appointments or group outings, and the campus is building an Intergenerational Day Programming Center for both older adults and children to participate in shared activities. Residents and families can set up tours, review licensing records, ask about payment options, and discuss care plans before moving in, and the campus accepts long-term care insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid when eligible. Hillview's not the most flashy place, but folks there tend to value compassion, dignity, and stability for people at every level of care, and the size, programs, and steady support from La Crosse County give it a unique spot among senior communities in the area.
