About Hillside

Simply put, a Life Plan Community (also known as a continuing care retirement community or CCRC) is a community for older adults that offers independent living residences and access to higher levels of care all on one campus.

Independent residences are typically renovated with the latest in home fits and finishes and offer the freedom of maintenance-free living. For a set monthly fee, so much is included: fresh dining, housekeeping, engaging amenities, and a myriad of cultural, social, educational, fitness and wellness programs.

Should a time come when extra support would be beneficial or required, a plan is in place. Specialized care, such as assisted living, memory support, short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing, right on campus provides just what’s needed when it’s needed in welcoming environments.

Choosing to move to a Life Plan Community is about more than a maintenance-free lifestyle and having a plan in place for future care needs. If you are a proactive person, it’s about setting yourself up to ensure you are living life to the fullest. By having more time to do what you want to do — not what you have to do. By expanding your opportunities to be socially connected. By living in an environment designed to support total wellness. And ultimately, by having security and peace of mind for you and those who love you.

A 55+ community offers independent living homes that usually include a maintenance-free lifestyle and a campus with common spaces and amenities. A Life Plan Community such as Hillside does the same, and, in addition, it offers various care options on campus. This means that if the health of you or your spouse ever change, a plan will be in place. You won't need to move or be separated.

Hillside offers independent living apartments and a neighborhood of single-story cottages, country homes and villas in a wide range of sizes and floor plans. All homes are in close proximity to the local vineyards and historic downtown McMinnville. And, of course, all residents have access to a wealth of amenities across our 57-acre campus.

As an independent living resident with a Life Plan contract, you will pay a monthly fee and a one-time entrance fee. Fees vary considerably depending on the size and type of home you choose and whether you select a rebatable or nonrebatable entrance fee option. (Rebatable means a portion of your entrance fee is returned to you or your estate when you leave the community). 

Please contact our sales counselors to learn more about available floor plans, contract types and fees.

No, Hillside is not a traditional nursing home. It is a Life Plan Community, where the majority of residents live independently. We offer independent living residences and a continuum of care options — assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing care — should they be needed on one campus. Our care options include short-stay rehabilitation nursing for people who have been discharged from a hospital stay but are not yet strong enough to return to their homes.
