Hillside Medical Lodge

Nestled along South Highway 36 Bypass in the heart of Gatesville, Texas, Hillside Medical Lodge delivers compassionate, clinically focused skilled nursing care to residents of Coryell County and the surrounding Hill Country communities. Operated by the Coryell County Memorial Hospital Authority — the same trusted organization behind Coryell Memorial Hospital just minutes away — Hillside Medical Lodge benefits from deep local roots and a seamless continuum of care that keeps residents connected to the physicians and specialists they already know and trust. Skilled nursing residents at Hillside Medical Lodge receive around-the-clock care from licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants, with access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy services designed to support recovery and long-term well-being. Whether a resident is transitioning from a hospital stay or requires ongoing medical management, the team at Hillside Medical Lodge is equipped to meet complex care needs with both clinical precision and genuine warmth. Gatesville itself offers a peaceful, small-town atmosphere that many seniors and their families find deeply comforting. The historic Coryell County Courthouse anchors a charming downtown square where residents' families can enjoy local eateries and shops during visits. The nearby Mother Neff State Park — one of the oldest state parks in Texas — provides beautiful natural scenery just a short drive away, and the rolling terrain of the Texas Hill Country gives the entire area a tranquil, restorative character. Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), located approximately 25 miles to the east near Killeen, means many residents have ties to the military community, and the broader Central Texas region offers access to major medical centers in Waco and Temple when specialized care is needed. For families seeking trusted skilled nursing care in a community that truly feels like home, Hillside Medical Lodge stands as a cornerstone of health and healing in Coryell County.
