Though it has been in Greenville only eight short years, Hilltop of Greenville Memory Care has fast become a premier choice for the Upstate families needing full-time assistance with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
As a standalone, independent senior care facility on Pelham Road, Hilltop of Greenville provides on-site nurses, caregiver support and daily senior activities in a safe and secure environment.
“Hilltop is purpose-built with memory care in mind, from its design to operational model,” said Nick Jasmon, Vice President of American Healthcare Management Group, the operator of Hilltop. “Its sole focus is in serving the area as an assisted-living community.”
Founded in 2016, Hilltop of Greenville provides each of its residents a personalized care plan, tailored to their unique life experiences, needs, preferences and abilities.
Hilltop staff are specifically trained for Alzheimer’s and dementia, and provide medication administration for all residents. Emergency call response systems, vital signs monitoring, personal and linen laundry services, and assistance with activities of daily living are part of everyday life.
Hilltop’s nurses and around-the-clock staff encourage residents to stay engaged as much as possible in everyday living through daily offerings.
Those include:
- Art classes, cooking classes, brain games and scheduled outings.
- Fresh, healthy meals with a variety of choices, and a rotating menu of favorites cooked specifically to senior-centric nutritional needs and any doctor-prescribed dietary requirements.
- Family Booster Club, a signature Hilltop element that allows residents and supporting family members to get involved in the community.
“The Family Booster Club creates programs and activities with our life-engagement manager to enhance the individual journey for each of our residents,” Jasmon said.
Based on current trends, more communities like Hilltop are expected to open in the near future as the need for assisted living across both the Upstate and the U.S. becomes greater.
The U.S. Census Bureau projects older adults will outnumber children by the year 2034 for the first time in U.S. history. The National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care in Annapolis, Maryland, projects a need for more than 880,000 new senior-living facilities by 2030, and 986,000 by 2040.
“Communities like Hilltop are going to continue to be needed as our population continues to age, and the families want to promote and encourage individuality, dignity, and independence,” Jasmon said. “We don’t want our parents to have to feel like burdens, and would much rather have them age gracefully with as much independence as possible versus living in an unhappy environment.”
