Mind Diet

As part of its IDEA (Integral Dementia Education & Action) initiative passed by Hillcrest’s Board in 2019, Hillcrest has rolled out the MIND Diet, which reduces risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The initial introduction to the MIND Diet included staff and resident training by Dr. Ryan Harrison (Sr. Director of Engagement, Outreach, & Wellness); careful menu planning by Dr. Harrison, Amber Mora (Director of Dining Services), and Chef Scott Dittes; and the availability of MIND Diet meals at lunch and dinner in the Cafe and Mountain View Dining Room.

The MIND Diet can be broadly understood as having two guiding principles: 10 foods that one should eat regularly, and 5 foods that should be avoided.

Handouts related to the MIND Diet are available in the Mountain View Dining Room and the Cafe. Hillcrest is excited and proud to be the only senior living community to have made this commitment to its residents and we look forward to continuing to provide excellence in cognitive care education and services.

Fitness Assistance Program

While the Aquatic & Fitness Center (AFC) is available for engagement in group fitness classes or for the personal use of the Weight Room, Cardio Room, and Pool, some residents appreciate more individualized help with their fitness goals. For this reason, Fitness Assistance was created as a stand-alone, add-on feature of the AFC program. For a nominal fee, residents can work one-on-one with a certified AFC Instructor. Together with the Instructor, you’ll discuss your fitness goals, create an exercise appointment schedule, and then meet regularly to exercise. In this way, residents can experience even greater gains in physical strength, flexibility, and endurance. If you are interested in learning more about the Fitness Assistance program, please contact the AFC at ext. 4029.

Integrated Therapy Room Information

Integrative Therapies are non-medical therapies that complement traditional health care by promoting health and wellness, aiding recovery efforts, and providing preventative strategies. Hillcrest is unique in that we have an Integrative Therapy Room (ITR), which gives residents access to a range of integrative therapies at reduced prices (compared to similar services located off campus). The therapies offered vary, but have included modalities such as: Acupuncture, Reflexology, Massage, Chiropractic, Alexander Technique, and Hanna Somatic Education. For a list of current therapies and fees, please contact the ITR by calling ext. 4033.
