Memory Care

At the Willow Creek Memory Care residence, we are dedicated to caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias in an environment of dignity, security, comfort and love. We don’t see the disease; we see the total person.  We understand that losses due to dementia are progressive and that residents’ needs are continually changing. 

Willow Creek provides each resident with an individualized service plan after a thorough assessment of needs as well as interests, daily routines, personal history, and preferences. The plan anticipates and meets their unique needs, helps them feel safe, and adds meaning to their days.  Physical and behavioral needs, as well as life history play an integral role in maintaining familiar daily routines and service plans for each resident.  These plans are reviewed regularly by staff to ensure that we meet the changing needs of our residents.

Knowing as much as possible about each person helps staff interact with residents on a very personal level and provide care more effectively.  Changing needs are managed through regular follow up assessments.  Every effort is made to provide the care that will enable each person to live safely and with dignity.

At Willow Creek We Provide:

• A purposefully designed environment, including interior and exterior wandering paths, and a home-like setting with familiar living spaces.
• A safe and secure environment. All exterior entrances are secured and alarmed at all times to ensure the residents’ safety and well being.
• A holistic approach to caring for the residents. Specially trained staff are responsible for caring for all aspects of residents’ daily needs. Through this approach, we can more readily detect changes in our residents’ needs and modify their care accordingly.
