Key Review Excerpts
“Creekside is a memory care facility unlike any other I’ve seen. It’s set up like a cozy home, not an institution. The residents appear well cared for, respected, and maintain a level of safe independence.”
“The staff is so caring! My mother-in-law loves to tease the nurses, and they always play along! They have delicious, nutritious meals! They take care of hygiene, and medication needs for my in-laws.”
“The facility is in good repair, clean, and the rooms are practical residences for those requiring care. The staff's tenure, on average, is measured in years, so care is consistent and the staff reliable.”
