What is residential living? It’s nearly identical to what other senior communities refer to as independent living. Like independent living, our residential living offers many options with Hillcrest’s charming, private cottages being one of the most popular.

Cottages are the best of both worlds: All of the privacy, independence and space of a single-family home alongside the conveniences of community living.

Unlike many high-density 62+ communities, Hillcrest is not gated or cut off from the world. It is woven into the heart of La Verne, harkening back to simpler times when neighborhoods felt open and life unfolded at an easy pace. Families ride bikes along Hillcrest’s sidewalks, parents push strollers, neighbors wave from their porches and children fill the tree-lined streets with conversation. Here, life feels unhurried, connected and genuinely shared.

Our campus covers over 50 acres and it is easily accessible by car, golf cart or the community and shuttle.

Plus, when you move in, you can make your cottage or apartment home your own by choosing internal finishes and the paint colors that reflect yourself at no additional charge. Specialty customizations are available and can be quoted.

At Hillcrest, assisted living doesn’t feel like the typical assisted living that most people imagine. And assisted living apartment homes come with just the right amount of discreet services perfect for helping you live independently while getting the support you need. Full services include delicious dining, housekeeping, all utilities, cable and home maintenance. Residents also enjoy a thoughtfully planned life enrichment calendar designed specifically for assisted living needs—offering daily opportunities to stay active, social and engaged. Residents enjoy a country kitchen in close proximity to the Aquatic and Fitness Center, the Meeting House, the Chapel and the Village Center.

Hillcrest is a place for couples who want to stay together when one partner begins to need extra support due to brain changes or physical decline. It offers reassurance so caregivers don’t have to face this transition alone. Each person receives the level of care and support they need while continuing to enjoy a rich and meaningful way of life.

Our philosophy is rooted in living well. Memory care at Hillcrest is deeply personal and thoughtfully engaging, designed to honor dignity, nurture connection and support the best life possible.

Memory care provides 24-hour specialized support for adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia or brain change. These residences are typically available to Hillcrest residents, though occasional openings may be offered to those outside the community. Please inquire to learn more about current availability.
