The Waterford at Creekside

The Waterford at Creekside sits as a single-story senior living community with cozy apartment homes set in several cottages, each equipped with emergency response systems and wide doorways for wheelchairs, and the apartments themselves are divided so seniors can live among others with similar cognitive abilities, which helps provide a setting that's both safe and familiar. The place offers many types of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care under the specialized Magnolia Trails program, skilled nursing, home care, and hospice, which allows people to change their level of support if their needs change over time. Staff are there 24 hours a day, with a doctor on call and a team that stays awake through the night, ready to help with bathing, dressing, medication, or any personal care needed, and they're known for being helpful, joyful, and kind. Magnolia Trails and other memory support services, such as music and memory therapy, aromatherapy, pet therapy, and light therapy, are in place for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there is also full medication management and incontinence care for those who need it. The community offers groupings for social, educational, and recreational activities, along with a lounge with a big-screen TV, an arts and crafts area, and beautifully landscaped courtyards where residents can safely walk or relax, and the grounds and cottages are set up to encourage companionship and plenty of time outdoors. Meals are nutritious and made with good-quality ingredients, and residents can eat together, which makes things feel homey. There's regular transportation to shopping, medical appointments, or outings. Special support is available for families, who can attend support groups and educational seminars, and everyone can feel a sense of connection. Creekside is pet-friendly, handicap accessible, and offers Wi-Fi/high-speed internet, so residents can stay in touch with loved ones. Staff develop person-centered care plans based on each resident's preferences, with activities and room setups tailored to suit. As part of Sonida Senior Living, Creekside has received awards like Best of Senior Living and Best Activities in Senior Living, and has a focus on both comfort and a positive, nurturing environment.
