Love the Lifestyle While You Recover

Our culinary services are top-of-the-line, with an executive chef focused on hospitality that rivals a vacation resort.

Innovative Therapy
With 25+ years of experience in post-acute rehabilitation, we understand what it takes to help guests get back to their optimal level of function. We have our own team of therapists, not a contracted third-party therapy company, to provide guests with consistent and reliable care throughout their stay. With state-of-the-art therapy equipment, we provide innovative physical, occupational and speech therapy to help speed up recovery.
Our entire team is focused on each guest’s recovery so they can return to their optimal level of function after transitioning to home or a lower level of care. Guests stay with us for an average of 14 to 24 days based on their physician-directed care plan. Medical care is overseen by our on-staff Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anthony Hatcher.
Hillcrest Firethorn also provides 13 specialty rooms, featuring piped-in oxygen for guests with cardiopulmonary diseases.
Rehab Continuum
As part of the rehabilitation process, we often transition guests home with Hillcrest Home Care. With the support of these skilled home health services, guests receive the additional nursing care and therapy they need to ensure a full recovery while avoiding an unnecessary rehospitalization.
