Hillside Terrace Senior Living

What Hillside Terrace Senior Living does

Hillside Terrace Senior Living is a privately held, family-owned continuing care retirement community operated by the Litz family (Nanya, Vic, Trey, and Amanda) on a 10-acre campus at 1939 Jackson Avenue in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The community, established in 1968, provides a full continuum of senior living services — independent living, assisted living, specialized care, enhanced memory care, respite care, and hospice/palliative care — distributed across 82 revitalized apartment homes organized into four named residential neighborhoods: The Orchard (9 independent living homes), The Gardens (49 assisted living homes), The Palms (specialized care), and The Vineyard (8 enhanced memory care homes). A separate Hillside Terrace Memory Care, LLC facility at 1937 Jackson Avenue operates as a dedicated memory care unit with hourly wellness checks.

The business model is recurring monthly rental revenue tiered by acuity: $2,100/month for independent living, $4,600/month for assisted living, $7,200/month for specialized care, and $8,250/month for memory care, with respite care billed at approximately $75–$200 per day. Incremental revenue is generated from on-site ancillary services including physician visits, physical and occupational therapy, dental, vision, podiatry, lab draws, and x-ray. The community maintains 24/7 nursing coverage and an "Aging by Choice" positioning around a campus featuring orchards, walking paths, gardens, and an enclosed courtyard. End-of-life hospice and palliative services are delivered through partnerships with Great Lakes Hospice and Great Lakes Caring (Elara Caring). The organization employs 51–100 staff, has no disclosed institutional or private equity ownership, and has no public funding history.

Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer, combining in-person and virtual tours with an extensive content marketing program (80+ SEO articles and an active blog), resident testimonial-driven referrals, and physician recommendation networks. The primary service area is Ann Arbor with extension into Saline, Milan, and Dexter. Recent strategic activity has centered on the November 2025 enhanced Memory Care launch, the March 2026 publication of a "Guide to the First 30 Days of Assisted Living," and ongoing reinvestment in the existing 82-home physical plant.

Monthly Rental Revenue: Hillside Terrace generates revenue through monthly rental payments from residents across its care levels: Independent Living ($2,100/month), Assisted Living ($4,600/month), Specialized Care ($7,200/month), and Memory Care ($8,250/month). Pricing is tiered by care level, with higher levels of care commanding higher monthly fees.
2. Respite Care Revenue: Short-term respite care stays are offered as a service to caregivers needing temporary relief. Respite stays are billed on a per-stay or short-term basis, complementing the recurring monthly rental revenue model.
3. Ancillary Care Services: Additional services including on-site physician visits, physical and occupational therapy, on-site dental, vision, podiatry, weekly lab draws, and x-ray services are provided, contributing to the overall revenue stream through service fees embedded in the care model.
