Welcome to La Verne’s Un‑Retirement Community.
What do we mean when we say Hillcrest is SoCal’s Un-Retirement Community? Unlike the usual cookie-cutter, high-density retirement communities, Hillcrest is refreshingly different. We are seamlessly blended into La Verne in a serene neighborhood covering over 50 walkable acres. You’ve likely passed through our senior living community and never even knew it.
As a nonprofit Life Plan Community, we offer a wide variety of living options that come with a plan for life and long-term peace of mind. Hillcrest offers a full continuum of services. This currently includes residential living, residential living with services, assisted living, rehabilitation, memory care, in-home supportive services and skilled nursing. Our mission is: “To serve and enrich the lives of older persons.”
