Residential Living in La Verne, California.
Freedom, Connection and a Lifestyle that Moves with You.
At Hillcrest, residential living means settling into a neighborhood that feels like home —because it is. Nestled within a once historic orange grove and walkable to downtown La Verne, this is where privacy, independence and possibility all thrive together.
You’re not entering a typical “retirement community.” You’re joining a community that just happens to be “62 or better.” You choose how you live. Everything here is designed to complement your pace, style, interests and vision of home.
Explore your passions, pick up new ones and surround yourself with people who are curious, engaged and energized. Whether it’s planting roses, crafting art, diving into music, joining a discussion group, doing woodworking, taking a hike or chatting with new friends at happy hour, the choice is yours.
We celebrate individuality. We value diversity. And we welcome everyone. We are LGBTQ+ inclusive, open and accepting of all backgrounds and beliefs. Come as you are.

What’s the Difference Between Residential Living and Residential Living with Services?
Choosing the right living option doesn’t have to be confusing.
Residential Living: Independent. Empowered. Community-Oriented.
What we call residential living is what other senior living communities would refer to as independent living. It’s ideal for those who live life on their own terms and want the added ease and connection of a vibrant, maintenance-free community. It’s not about “getting older;” it’s about choosing a better way to live today—surrounded by opportunities, not limitations. Most of our residents tell us they wished they had made the move sooner!
Residential Living with Services: Independent Living with a Built-In Backup Plan.
You love your freedom and your space—but maybe you’d also appreciate a little support now and then? Hillcrest’s residential living with services blends independence with convenience, providing just the right layer of everyday help. It’s not assisted living. Nor is it traditional independent living. It’s a third option that is unique to Hillcrest. It is for people who value independence while embracing peace of mind.
Why Do Residents Choose to Move Sooner?
- Freedom: Let go of house maintenance and yard chores—gain more time and energy for what matters most.
- Connection: Build friendships through events, clubs and everyday neighborly moments.
- Activity: From balance classes to art exhibitions, your calendar can be as full as you want it to be.
- Peace of mind: With care available on campus, you’ve got a plan—just in case.
- Lifestyle perks: RV parking? You bet. Bring your sense of adventure, and we’ll provide the space.
More Than a Community. It’s a Culture.

- Many residents are active in gardens, tending rose beds and composting
- EV charging in garages and across campus
- Pet-friendly with open green spaces and a dedicated dog play area
- Non-denominational spiritual spaces and discussion groups
