The reviews for Hill View Home Health and Hill View Retirement Center present a mixed picture. Many reviewers praise the facility for its friendly and caring staff, clean environment, and beautiful surroundings, including a lake and well-maintained grounds. The food is frequently highlighted as excellent, with specific mentions of good meals and a spacious dining area. Activities and social opportunities are appreciated, with residents enjoying communal spaces, a chapel, and various events. However, there are notable concerns. Some reviewers mention issues with the facility's infrastructure, such as a leaking roof and visible mold, which raise safety and health concerns. There are also complaints about understaffing and management, with some describing the new president as unsympathetic and focused solely on profit. Reports of missing valuables and unhealthy living conditions further tarnish the facility's reputation. Despite these issues, many families express satisfaction with the care provided, particularly for those with specific health needs like Alzheimer's. The facility's location in a safe, rural area and its affordability are additional positives. Overall, while Hill View receives commendations for its staff and environment, there are significant areas for improvement, particularly in maintenance and management practices.

August 2025

Worst experience, the skilled facility in the back is leaking everywhere and there's clearly mold growing on the vents, walls, and ceiling tiles. You can even tell the ones replaced are different colors from everything else. My uncle deserves somewhere better than this to stay in, probably why he keeps pneumonia. Best place for independent and assisted living look nothing like the skilled side, it's like night and day. They have shops, it's clean and beautiful. Dinner is always amazingly dishes and served.
