History & Philosophy
Hillcrest Care Center (now Hillcrest Health & Rehab) opened in 1967 and was acquired by Jolene Roberts in 1989 as the first of many Hillcrest communities. Her vision was to go beyond one nursing facility and create a full continuum of health services for aging adults, providing a seamless transition among all services an aging adult might need, without compromising continuity of care. This innovative concept allowed Hillcrest Health Services to become one largest continuum of services for aging adults in Nebraska, offering some of the most progressive services and the highest quality of care.
Today, Ms. Roberts serves as President of Hillcrest Health Services, which employs more than 1,500 team members who work to enhance the lives of more than 1,700 aging adults every day. The Hillcrest Health Services Executive Team is leading the organization toward becoming a national leader in aging services including skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, independent living, hospice, assisted living, memory support, home care, in-home personal care and telemedicine.
