On October 28, 2022, Hillcrest hosted a grand re-opening of its senior living dining room, which includes upgrades, renovations, and a new dining services team. There was a social hour and then a delicious dinner for the guests.
“We were excited to unveil our brand-new venue with an event that had delicious hors d’oeuvres, beverages, live music, and dinner for the current residents and the local community,” shares Marketing and Sales Director, Shirley Turner.
Hillcrest has made upscale changes to the dining room as well as technology updates that make dining more enjoyable service-enhanced:
- New host station
- Upgraded WiFi, digital ordering system, and menu screens in the lobby
- Elegant new dishware and serveware, chosen by residents
- A renovated private dining room
- Full table-service dining
- Brand new flooring
- Bright, modern paint and decor
- Refurbished restroom facilities
Hillcrest’s dining team is now led by Executive Chef, Yavieshala Mitchell, and Dining Director, Daniel Paz.
