Rolling Hills Residential Care is a senior living community in Milan, Missouri, with a long history-over 24 years in business and a current owner who's worked in senior care for more than 50 years-where seniors can live in a ranch-style home that feels a lot like a real neighborhood, because that's what it is, with shared and private rooms for up to nine residents, and caregivers who help with everything from bathing, dressing, and grooming, to medication reminders and even cooking and cleaning, making sure folks have what they need to stay safe and comfortable, all on a 6+ acre property along Highway 5 & 6 that's got space to walk, a garden, and plenty of outdoor area. The main brick home has five bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, a fireplace, a laundry room that's right on the main level, and porches out front and back so residents can enjoy the outdoors, plus there's a Morton shed for storage, a partially fenced yard, security lights, and even a powder room for guests. Caregivers help residents with little things as well as bigger needs, like getting up, going to the restroom, or moving around, and there are staff members with special training for memory care, Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's, with checkups by a registered nurse and nursing staff always available, day and night, for anyone who might need extra attention.
Meals are nutritious and carefully planned, with special diets available for diabetes and other conditions, and the kitchen's got everyday appliances-dishwasher, electric oven, refrigerator, garbage disposal, and microwave-right on site, so food is fresh and always close by. Rolling Hills offers transportation for doctor appointments, religious services, and those outings to places like malls and movie theaters, because staying connected to the outside matters, and you can always expect daily activities, arts and crafts, card games, and even a small theater and beauty salon for the residents, plus wellness programs and a fitness area to stay active. There's an outdoor pool and a sauna for those who enjoy a good soak, and for folks who keep up with the times, the homes have cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and telephones in the rooms, with furnished studios and comfortable living spaces where people can gather or relax alone.
Rolling Hills is fully licensed by the State of Missouri as a board and care home, as well as a mental health residential care facility, with extra services like medication management, laundry, incontinence care, housekeeping, and coordination with healthcare providers. It's part of a broader network of senior care, so options like home care, memory care, independent or skilled nursing, adult daycare, respite care, and senior apartments can be arranged if the need comes up. Rolling Hills doesn't allow pets, to help keep the environment quiet and allergy-free, but they do encourage independence-residents do what they can for themselves, but help is always at hand, and the staff, who many say are warm and welcoming, work to forge real friendships and make everyone feel valued in this close-knit home setting. The price for assisted living starts at $2,605 a month, and short-term respite care for family caregivers is available, giving relatives a needed break. The buildings use central air and electric water heating, are built partly over a basement, and have floors of carpet, tile, and hardwood, plus blinds and curtains on the windows, so rooms feel homelike and comfortable.
The focus at Rolling Hills is on promoting each person's sense of well-being, combining careful attention with a homey, nurturing space, and always striving to help seniors live with dignity, safety, and as much independence as they wish. With just nine units and a staff committed to meeting the unique needs of each person, Rolling Hills offers the kind of place where seniors can make connections, keep some freedom, and rely on consistent, respectful care, while living in a spot that's both peaceful and practical.
