Hillcrest Silver Ridge sits in the middle of Gretna, and has 81 apartments with several floor plans, including studios plus one- and two-bedroom apartments, some over 1,000 square feet. This community's newly renovated buildings and quiet, landscaped courtyards offer a peaceful setting with easy access to nearby shopping, parks, restaurants, hospitals, and banks. Residents can choose private rooms with kitchenettes, including options for assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care stays from a week up to a month. The memory care area has two secure cottages called Connor House and Langdon House, each with private suites, bay windows, and room for keepsakes, and there's help from staff around the clock. There's a nurse on staff and caregivers provide daily support for bathing, dressing, hygiene, medication management, and other needs. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen service are included, and residents can choose self-service if they'd like. Seniors can get help with diabetic and incontinence care, and staff are trained for dementia care, non-ambulatory needs, and gentle therapies like reminiscing and light activities.
Meals come from Greenie's Restaurant with three chef-prepared dishes daily, and special diets like low sodium or no-sugar are available. There's a pub called Dragons, Scoops Ice Cream Shoppe, a gift shop, a salon and spa, and a movie theater called Silver Cinema. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, a koi pond, a gazebo, and raised gardening beds make it easy to get outside. Apartment buildings are wheelchair accessible with full tubs and showers, and the whole place allows for "aging in place," which means residents don't have to move as their needs change. There's scheduled transportation for shopping, banking, medical appointments, and other errands, plus community events, support groups, and opportunities to socialize.
Hillcrest Silver Ridge provides many ways for residents to stay active and connected, including religious services for several faiths, arts and crafts, a billiards lounge, a library, and a computer room with Wi-Fi and internet. Spaces for movies, music, games, and gatherings are available, and there's a fitness center and whirlpool spa. Devotional services, activities on and off-site, and frequent events create an environment where seniors can make friendships and enjoy each day. Staff are noted for being kind and helpful, and awards for the Best of Senior Living and Best Activities mean the programs keep people engaged and active. The building operates 24 hours a day, has a state license (ALF224), and all care plans are adjusted to each person's changing needs. Pets aren't allowed, and there are no buy-in or membership fees, just monthly rent that includes health services. Residents also benefit from Hillcrest's home-care aides when needed. The calm, cheerful atmosphere and strong support for every stage of senior living set Hillcrest Silver Ridge apart for those looking for simplicity, comfort, and dependable care.
