Ask about this communityHillside Gardens II is a small assisted living residence in Clearwater, Florida, with a listed capacity of six residents. It is also described in listings as a board-and-care home. The single-story, barrier-free ranch-style layout places bedrooms on the ground floor. A floor-plan description identifies four private rooms and one companion room. Room features include individual climate controls, cable-ready outlets, smoke detectors and an emergency call bell with audible and visual alerts. The alerts are described as sounding and flashing at a panel in the staff work area. Listings also describe the residence as furnished, with private bathrooms. A listing notes an emergency-power generator and full-coverage sprinkler system, which it says were re-inspected and approved under state requirements introduced after Hurricane Irma.
The described support includes full assistance, when needed, with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, walking and eating. The residence is listed as accepting people who use wheelchairs or walkers. Staff coverage is described as round-the-clock, with at least one direct-care aide for six residents during the day and sleeping staff on site overnight. Medication oversight includes monthly reviews by a licensed nurse consultant. One directory classifies the home as serving residents with advanced dementia-related needs. It does not hold an Extended Congregate Care or Limited Nursing Services specialty license. Outside providers may visit to deliver physical, occupational or speech therapy ordered by a physician.
Meals are served as three meals and two snacks each day from a set menu on a rotating schedule. The menu is described as following a four-week cycle designed to meet USDA Dietary Guidelines. When ordered by a physician, meal options include mechanically softened, puréed, diabetic and low-sodium preparations. Housekeeping is listed weekly for resident rooms, with daily spot cleaning in shared areas; personal laundry is done twice weekly. Cable is available, and smoking is permitted outdoors.
Shared indoor space includes a combined living-and-dining room and a reading nook. The fenced backyard has a covered patio and paved walking path shaded by mature oak trees. The activities calendar describes daily chair exercises, trivia or bingo afternoons, and craft projects twice a week. Group outings are arranged twice monthly; examples include Moccasin Lake Nature Park, the Clearwater Main Library, and grocery or banking errands. Optional Sunday devotional services are listed, along with birthday and major-holiday family potlucks.
The home is in a single-family residential neighborhood east of U.S. Highway 19. Nearby hospitals named in listings include Mease Countryside, BayCare Alliant and Mease Dunedin.

I had my Mom there for one week of respite and have to look no farther. I found the facility to be clean and welcoming. And the staff to be professional, friendly and caring. My Mom is 94yo and completely blind with some dementia and she spoke positive regarding the facility. I couldn't even tell she had dementia when I would call her daily, maybe she'd been fooling me😊 or the affect the Facilty had on her.
