Whole-Person Well-Being, Backed by Research and Built for You.
At Hillcrest, wellness isn’t an afterthought; it’s the heartbeat of our community! Guided by our research-backed model and a team of passionate professionals across all levels of care, we approach wellness as a dynamic, multidimensional journey, one that honors your entire self: body, mind, spirit and more.
Led by our on-site “Wellness Doctor,” a recognized expert with a doctorate in Health & Wellness Psychology, Hillcrest’s wellness program brings clinical insight, community values and compassionate care together in a way that’s both evidence-based and deeply human.
We meet residents where they are at. Whether you’re training for your next half-marathon or aiming to become stronger, steadier and more self-confident as you age, we can develop a sound plan to help you achieve your goals.
Our 7-Dimension Wellness Model.
Wellness at Hillcrest is built on seven interconnected research-backed dimensions:
Body, Mind, Spirit, Environment, Emotions, Relationships & Pursuits. This framework informs everything we offer, from our programs and services to the design of our spaces and daily interactions.
Featured Wellness Resources.
Aquatic & Fitness Center (AFC)
Our state-of-the-art AFC includes a heated indoor pool, spa, cardio room and weight room—all equipped with the latest fitness technology. Residents enjoy group classes like AquaFitness and best-in-class Balance Training (offered at multiple levels), along with opportunities for independent workouts and free personalized balance assessments.
Wellness Library
One of the only collections of its kind, our Wellness Library was curated by our Wellness Doctor and a retired PhD in Library Sciences. Each of its books and other resources support learning, reflection and personal growth across all wellness dimensions.
Lifelong Learning & Enrichment
We offer a full calendar of educational programs, cultural experiences, entertainment and interest-based groups designed to keep your mind sharp and your life full of meaning. Whether it’s a lecture, concert or craft circle, there’s always something to explore.
Interdepartmental Wellness Partnerships
Wellness isn’t confined to one department. We work hand-in-hand with Dining Services to promote nutritious, delicious meals that support well-being and celebrate diverse culinary traditions. Strategic collaboration ensures that every aspect of daily life reinforces health and happiness.
Whole-Campus Wellness Culture.
Spiritual Well-Being
Our on-site chapel and dedicated interfaith chaplain support each resident in exploring or continuing the spiritual practices most meaningful to them, no matter their tradition or background.
MIND Your Diet!
All the fitness is meaningless without a good diet. That’s why Hillcrest offers healthy meal options, including the MIND diet, which is short for the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. Learn more about our innovative Dining Program.
Integrative Therapy Room (ITR)
Exclusive to Hillcrest, the ITR offers reduced-rate wellness services like acupuncture, massage therapy, reflexology and more. Residents can access holistic support in a peaceful, dedicated space.
Collaborative Clinic
Hillcrest is also home to a first-of-its-kind Collaborative Clinic, where specialists including podiatrists, ENTs, audiologists and others regularly provide on-site care. It’s wellness that meets you where you are.
Engagement & Purpose: Spaces for Independent Pursuits.
Whether it’s in our woodshop, sewing studio, music and keyboard classes or art workshops, Hillcrest makes it easy to stay creatively and intellectually engaged on your own terms.
Intergenerational Service & Connection
Through our partnership with the University of La Verne, residents can participate in volunteer projects and shared learning experiences with students. It’s a meaningful way to give back and stay connected to future generations.
Excursions & Adventures
We organize two monthly outings:
- The Out-to-Lunch Bunch explores local dining gems.
- Our Wanderers Trips venture further afield to museums, gardens, aquariums and more.
A Strong Social Wellness Culture
Connection is central to life at Hillcrest. Our budgeted Social Activities Committee, co-chaired by a resident and an associate, works alongside our department to ensure that social events reflect resident interests and spark true community.
Wellness Isn’t a Department—It’s a Way of Life.
No matter where you are in your wellness journey, Hillcrest offers you the tools, support, and inspiration to live fully—and on purpose.
