What this means for your family

This facility offers a beautiful and clean environment with a staff that many families find deeply compassionate. However, you must investigate the documented reports of resident injuries and lack of mobility assistance very closely. We recommend asking for specific protocols regarding fall prevention and how the facility handles incident reporting to ensure transparency.

Rock Creek is highly regarded by many families for its beautiful, clean environment and a staff that is often described as loving, professional, and attentive to residents' emotional needs. However, there are serious, recurring allegations regarding resident safety, including instances of physical injury, neglect, and lack of assistance with mobility. Families should weigh the frequent praise for the facility's atmosphere against the gravity of the reported incidents involving falls and medical oversight.

Key Review Excerpts

All of the employees show love and support and it is truly amazing. The facilities previous to Rock Creek left my father in the room all the time. Rock Creek brings him out for meals.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★☆☆

The staff at Rock Creek was there to offer their support during a very difficult time for us. They are caring professionals who take great pride in what they do.

Deceased resident's family · 2020★★★☆☆

The staff actually said that pulling himself with the wall hand rail was his physical therapy. He also was refused assistance to use the restroom. This refusal caused him to fall and split his forehead open.

a-f. Emergency and Safety StandardsR9-10-819.D.2.a-fCorrected Oct 29, 2025

Based on record review, documentation review, and interview, the manager failed to ensure when a resident had an incident resulting in the resident needing medical services, a caregiver documented the date and time of the incident; a description of the incident; the names of individuals who observed the incident; the action taken by the caregiver; the individuals notified by the caregiver; and any action taken to prevent the incident from occurring in the future, for one of one resident. The deficient practice posed a health and safety risk. Findings include: 1. A review of R1’s medical record revealed the following: An incident report for October 26, 2025, documented an unwitnessed fall that required emergency medical services. However, there was no documentation available to review of any action taken to prevent the incident from occurring in the future. 2.
