Hilltop Health Care Center has been serving community needs for many years. Originally built and owned by the City of Watkins, the facility was known as Hilltop Nursing Home. It took two years of planning before construction of the $1.8 million facility began in the Spring of 1978. In 2002, the facility was owned by Paynesville Area Health Care System.
When PAHCS announced in 2011 their intent to sell the facility, or possibly close it, the community of Watkins rallied to keep its largest employer. Not long after, two bus loads of passionate community members visited the State Capitol to appeal for higher reimbursement rates for the facility. Their efforts were successful.
