Testimonials
Recently, after a week-and-a-half hospital stay, my mother spent about two-and-a-half weeks here at Hillside. She was treated very well, very kindly, and very attentively. The staff were very friendly, communicative to her (and myself as her caregiver), and very good at their jobs. Our family has had nightmare rehab stories from other facilities with other family members, so we went in with a negative predisposition, but we were relieved and glad to have those expectations subverted. Highly recommended.

We had to make quick decisions to ensure the safety of our mother. The staff at Hearthstone made a very difficult decision much easier. Having all her care under one roof is a huge benefit, all staff we’ve needed to access from the front line (RN staff) to financial and the services team has been responsive and dependable. Knowing first hand how difficult it is to work in this environment and meet the needs and demands, I am confident with the care at this facility. When I visit I always observe engaged staff.

My Mother was recently in here and they are wonderful. The physical therapy was great and really pushed her so she could come home soon. The aides are helpful and very sweet and the whole staff went above and beyond to make her and all of her family feel welcome anytime we went to see her.
