Rock Creek of Ottawa sits on landscaped grounds with gardens, walking paths, and outdoor common spaces where folks can enjoy fresh air, and the accommodations are roomy and designed so people with walkers or wheelchairs can move around easily, plus each apartment has private bathrooms with wheelchair accessible showers, a kitchenette, cable TV including SeniorTV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, and you get housekeeping and laundry help so there's less to worry about in daily living. This community offers several levels of care, since it's a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), so there's independent living for active older adults, assisted living for those who might need help with things like grooming or daily tasks, memory care for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, and a skilled nursing area for those who need more careful medical supervision, including rehabilitation and 24/7 nursing care. There are residential health care beds for 22 folks, assisted living beds for 22 people, and a larger skilled nursing section with 80 beds, so residents can stay in the same place even if their needs change.
The staff, including professional nurses, therapists, and caregivers, develop personalized Total Care Plans, working with each person to figure out what kind of support they need, and the community has an in-house therapy team that uses both new techniques and hands-on methods to help with recovery, physical therapy, or mobility. Healthcare services also include medication management, diabetic and incontinence care, and support for those who can't walk easily, and there's always a nurse and qualified caregiver on call day and night, plus an emergency alert system in every room for safety. There's also plenty of activities, like group outings, exercise classes in the fitness room, movie nights, parties, spiritual services onsite and offsite, and excursions, along with a library with internet access and computer, a beauty and barber shop, and both indoor and outdoor community areas where people can relax or join in with others.
Dining happens in a private, restaurant-style dining room, meals are made by a professional chef with nutritious options including vegetarian dishes, and special diets can be handled as needed; and if someone prefers, they don't have to cook at all, which can take a load off. Rock Creek of Ottawa also helps residents stay social and active through a wide range of programs, so besides community-sponsored events, there are also resident-led activities, outings with transportation provided-including luxury and complimentary rides-and frequent events and parties. For people with memory issues, the memory care program aims to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive space, with therapies focused on well-being and routines that help reduce confusion and wandering. Parking is available for residents, and the community's close to hospitals and doctors. The whole place is designed to feel warm and inviting, helping folks keep up their independence but offering more help if they need it, so everyone can age in place while staying engaged and cared for in a clean, thoughtfully planned setting.
