Overall Review of Hillcrest Care Center

differentiator 4 reviews mention this

Hospice support includes 24/7 access

Residents and families describe hospice care that includes 24/7 family access.

Several families describe placing a loved one on hospice and being allowed to stay 24/7, including mention of special room arrangements. One reviewer says staff helped keep a loved one comfortable and ensured family members were not left to handle everything alone. A separate review also ties the hospice transition to the facility setting up hospice care before a rapid end-of-life outcome.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Frequent cleanliness and urine odor complaints

A recurring concern is persistent odor and cleanliness issues during visits.

Multiple reviewers specifically mention smells like urine and describe the facility as not clean enough. Some negative reviews connect those odors to neglect-related experiences, while a neutral review says smells were present but not terrible. Positive comments also show up—some reviewers say the facility is clean or smells nice—so the experience appears mixed rather than consistent for everyone.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Staffing levels and response are questioned

Some residents and families report understaffing and slow response times.

A few reviews describe understaffing, including claims that loved ones did not receive the care they needed. One reviewer also mentions chaos and not enough staff, and another calls out poor communication and lack of follow-through on family concerns. There are also reports of delayed response to alerts, which adds to concerns about how quickly needs are addressed.

common 4 reviews mention this

Reviews describe an activities setup that includes an activities director and scheduled opportunities, along with use of exercise and therapy rooms.
