Hilltop at Glenwood in Florence, AL

3.5
My loved one was previously a resident at Hilltop at Glenwood and the overall experience was good. The staff is friendly, but I do feel like there is a lack of communication between them. Overall, I would recommend Hilltop at Glenwood to others who are looking for a Memory Care facility.
