The Hillside Senior Living Community
The Hillside Senior Living Community is a pet-friendly community on Four Mile Drive in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, that offers personal care and respite care within a 60-bed home. The community also enforces a philosophy that believes residents don’t have to choose between their companion animals and the care they need. With beautiful outdoor spaces that give older adults room to move and breathe, the community has a setting where daily life goes beyond indoor routines.
Along with a calendar of programs, activities, and social events, the community also provides chef-prepared meals with desserts nightly. Respite care is also available for families seeking temporary support, as well as personal care to support residents in their daily routines. The community maintains a staffing presence that provides individual attention to each resident, with 70 staff members on-site daily, including 53 during waking hours.
The Hillside Senior Living continuously strengthens its operational practices around documentation, support planning, staff training, and incident reporting. This is reflected in its recent inspections, which found no deficiencies. With its location, some services are available within walking distance, but transportation will still be beneficial for most errands.
