Hillside Senior Living sits on Isabella Circle in the Alberhill Ranch area of Lake Elsinore, up on a hill with open views of Walker Canyon Trail where the poppies bloom in spring, and this place provides care in a small, home-like setting for up to six residents. They're licensed by the state of California under license number 331881050, have been licensed for over four years, and last passed a DSS inspection in March 2021 without any complaints or citations. The management team is led by Jennifer Nguyen, and they keep records for all their inspections and certifications. Caregivers stay onsite around the clock, and there's a registered nurse on staff to help with health needs and medications, and they have approval to serve up to two hospice residents when that's needed too. The home has two private rooms and two semi-private rooms that can be set up for more privacy if you want, plus two full bathrooms with safety features and wheelchair access throughout, and everyone can use Wi-Fi, cable TV, and the laundry facilities.
Hillside Senior Living provides a mix of adult care home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing, so you can stay as your needs change, and there's support for daily living like help with dressing, bathing, transfers, medication management, wound care, and more, along with coordinated visits from outside providers like occupational therapy and podiatry when needed. Meals are home-cooked every day, adjusted for special diets like diabetes, served in a dining room or with room service if someone's not up to moving, and guests can join for meals, so there's always a sense of family. Residents and caregivers often gather for group activities-there's a gym with Tai Chi and yoga classes, book clubs, painting, garden group, musical groups, story time, and scheduled outings to places like parks, museums, Dos Lagos shopping center, Toms Farm, the nearby pharmacy, or even to see wildflowers over at Lake and Walker Canyon Trail. On the property there's walking paths, gardens, a resort-style pool, community patio, guest parking, and a salon/barbershop for haircuts, and services like private cleaning, laundry, and dry cleaning help keep things tidy.
Memory care programs are in place with special activities and personalized care plans for those with Alzheimer's, and the staff aims to keep everyone as independent as possible while offering support whenever it's needed. Residents can enjoy social events like game nights, movie nights, arts and crafts, cooking clubs, educational programs, and religious services right on site, or relax in their rooms, which come with all necessary comfort and safety features. Transportation is arranged for medical appointments and recreation, pets are accepted in some cases, and respite care's offered for families needing short-term support. The place accepts credit card and check payments, is pet-friendly in some cases, and offers all the basics for both comfort and health. Families seem to appreciate the clean atmosphere, with community ratings sitting at 3.9 out of 5, and satisfaction at 4.1 out of 5, and while the facility has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, it's not officially accredited, but the focus remains on safe, attentive care in a smaller, supportive community that feels more like a home than a large institution.
