Hilltop House

Activity Room at Hilltop House Hilltop House residents enjoy a variety of planned activities and programs that are held in our activity room, in our parlor, and outdoors. Scheduled outings take residents into the community. Our activity room has a full kitchen, a library with books, music and movies, a TV corner, a piano, games, and two large tables. A formal parlor on the main floor has a piano, more books, and a television.
