Residents want to remain vibrant, healthy, contributing members of family and society, to maintain their cognitive capacities and memories, to find meaning in life and share wisdom, and to feel happy and fulfilled. Accordingly, to guide its Life Enrichment and Wellness strategies, Hillcrest has adopted a wellness model that includes seven distinct areas of human health and well-being.
