The Citrus Center
The Citrus Center (formerly Resident Services Center) is the heart of Hillcrest creativity. Citrus Center provides a general activity room equipped with kitchen facilities, woodshop, greenhouse, Hillcrest Farms and the Mary Dadisman Sewing Center.
The Citrus Center is the home for other resident interests such as an art studio. Hillcrest has three vegetable gardens reserved exclusively for residents, with one located adjacent to the Citrus Center. It’s a great way for residential living residents to stay active and engaged. One year, we had so many tomatoes we hosted a “Tomatopalooza” event and invited guests to indulge in tomato dishes of all kinds.
The Art Gallery at Hillcrest.
