Creekside Cottage Assisted Living

Creekside Cottage Assisted Living sits at 1190 117th Ave NW in Rapids, MN, and offers both assisted living and memory care for older adults who need daily support or have memory loss or dementia, and it feels like a small community because there are only 12 rooms, including private, semi-private, and furnished apartments, and each resident can decorate and bring favorite items from home to feel comfortable. The staff helps with everything from getting dressed to managing medicine, and they stay on-site around the clock, so someone's always available for help, even at night. The community is licensed for dementia care, and there's a special secure unit for memory care, with staff specially trained to care for people with Alzheimer's or related conditions, making sure everyone's safe and cared for without being overwhelmed or rushed. Residents eat homemade meals, get personalized care and meal plans, and see an in-home doctor when needed, plus nurses are on staff for medical needs like diabetes, mobility help, or accidents, and if someone needs more care, Mary T Home Health and Hospice can get involved right there. People can stay awhile or come for short-term respite, and scheduled transportation helps them get to appointments or outings. Life here isn't boring because there's a mix of activities every day-music, art, games, and group events help keep minds active, and folks can join devotional programs, movie time, or go on community trips. The building has common areas inside where people can sit and talk, play cards, or join group events, and everyone can feel safe with secure doors and a friendly team always close by. The focus at Creekside Cottage is to help each person keep their independence as much as possible, with care that respects their dignity, whether someone just needs a little help every day or more support as memory problems progress.
