Hillside Place Assisted Living & Memory Care sits at the base of a coastal hillside in Lincoln City, Oregon, just off Highway 101, and it's been providing care for seniors since the late 1990s in a quiet, clean, and safe environment. The community has 33 apartments, with 8 one-bedroom and 25 large studio options, each one including a kitchenette, a bathroom with a roll-in accessible shower, and emergency call devices in both the rooms and common areas. It offers assisted living and memory care services, with 24/7 personalized care and staff on site, including licensed nurses, caregivers, med aides, a beautician, housekeepers, dietary staff, and volunteers, all working together to make things comfortable and safe for residents.
The two-story building features wide hallways and lots of natural light, with cozy common areas, fireplaces, televisions, and a spacious dining room that has plenty of windows and a northwest-facing deck. There's a southeast-facing small deck where residents can enjoy views of the hillside forest. Residents can gather in the activity room or library and have easy access to community living areas, non-pay telephones, and restrooms. Apartments are wired for cable and phone service, and each one has electronic security features like smoke detectors and fire sprinklers throughout the building.
Hillside Place offers daily long-term care services for seniors, focusing on both physical and emotional well-being. It creates individualized care plans for every resident, updating them when needed, and supports seniors with daily living needs such as medication management, bathing, and dressing. The staff provides weekly housekeeping and laundry, and three dietitian-approved chef-prepared meals each day, with snacks available at all times. Vegetarian choices and alternative entrées are always on the menu, and room service can be arranged if requested. Residents can use on-site transportation services, including van and bus rides to doctor visits and group outings, with escorts for out-of-community trips.
The facility has dedicated memory care areas for those with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, offering activities to help with cognitive engagement and keep everyone as independent as possible. Regular scheduled activities fill each day, with a focus on social, educational, and entertaining programs designed to help everyone stay active and involved, and there are devotional services onsite. There are inside and outside activity spots and outdoor spaces to enjoy the trees and ocean air. The staff stays in contact with families and works with the larger community nearby.
Hillside Place is a Medicaid provider, though it doesn't take Medicare, and has aging in place options, respite care for short stays, hospice support, and wheelchair accessible showers. Residents have access to beauty salon services onsite, library, activity spaces, parking, and easy access to bus lines. With its mix of assisted living and memory care services, caring staff, and pleasant natural setting, Hillside Place tries to keep things as homelike and peaceful as possible for seniors and their visitors.
