๐ŸŒŸ SPECIAL MOMENTS AT HILLCREST ๐ŸŒŸ

Life at Hillcrest is made brighter by the little moments that truly matter. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿพ One of our favourites is when Cooper, our beloved 6-year-old fox red Labrador, comes to visit. He brings endless joy to residents โ€“ walking alongside Bob and Val, sharing cuddles with Madeline and George, and of course enjoying a few well-deserved treats! His visits create lasting memories and never fail to bring smiles all around.

๐ŸŽ‰ Another highlight was our Summer Party, where fun and laughter filled the home. Residents and staff enjoyed lively games together, while Nick and Chef Natalie prepared a delicious buffet that everyone loved.

These special moments remind us that community, companionship, and joy are at the heart of Hillcrest. ๐Ÿ’™
