HillHouse provides a wide variety of regularly-occurring activities, many of which are specifically designed for residents with varying degrees of mobility or function. We always welcome new ideas from residents and family members and are happy to discuss special activity requests.
Daily Activities HillHouse activities staff are in the building every day. They engage residents in formal programs and also see residents one-on-one each day. Daily activities often include exercise class, the morning social hour, art appreciation, or special group activities.

Special dining outings include lunch at local restaurants, picnics by the pond or on scenic bus rides.

Local schoolchildren also visit regularly.
Special cultural outings include museum and theater trips.

Holiday Events HillHouse celebrates all the traditional holidays, usually with a resident party or a special meal, gathering, or treat. Family and friends are always invited and warmly welcomed.
My mother was correct when she would say that she and Dad had "landed in the lap of luxury." She meant the whole environment and setting (her great view out the windows) were perfect, with extraordinary people to match. I could not agree more and I doubt there is another place like HillHouse anywhere. - Carol S.
