Footsteps At Mill Creek sits in The Dalles, Oregon, and offers care for seniors who need help with daily tasks or memory support, and the place has 25 assisted living units along with 25 secured dementia care units for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, so you'll find spaces built for safety like secure gardens and keyless entry, plus there's a therapy section and a secure garden for walking. The staff gives monthly checkups, scheduled doctor visits, and all rooms have pull cords for emergencies, while the building uses semi-private or private studios with non-slip floors and grab bars for ease and safety. Residents get three meals a day and snacks, with special dietary menus ready, and there's laundry and housekeeping, help with bathing and feeding if needed, along with medication management, personalized care plans, and a 24-hour call and security system, and round-the-clock support in the memory care area.
The community sets up transportation, birthday parties, wellness activities, and fitness programs daily, plus things like arts and crafts in the arts room, games, a library, computer room, and a movie theater room for watching films, and there's even patios and walking trails outdoors. Pets are allowed in assisted living, and the place has both independent living and continuing care options so residents can get more help as they need it, which means you can start in a more independent unit and move to assisted living or memory care later. They've also got special programming for Parkinson's, diabetes care, and regular preventive screenings, along with support groups and scheduled meetings for families.
Footsteps At Mill Creek also offers respite care if a caregiver needs a break, and has rehabilitative services like speech, occupational, and physical therapy on-site, so the staff can help with transfers, mobility, and more. There's a full calendar of social, educational, and recreational activities, from educational talks and workshops to scheduled trips out, and amenities include a beauty salon, communal kitchen, and a snack shop, plus utilities are included. Residents can choose from several types of rooms including furnished options, studios, or one-bedrooms, all with emergency alert systems and telephones, and the place prides itself on having awake staff day and night, supervision at all times, and a focus on helping everyone stay as independent as possible while still being safe and cared for.
