Hawkins Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in Longview at 311 E Hawkins Parkway, pretty close to downtown, the Village Green parks, and the Longview Arboretum, so folks who live there get a safe place that's still close to things. This community takes care of seniors who need assisted living and also people living with memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia-there are special programs and apartments for both. People live in private apartments that feel homelike, with features like cable TV, Wi-Fi, climate controls, and closet space, and while you can't cook in the units, all meals get served in a shared dining room where folks can gather and eat together three times a day. Residents get help with all the daily things, so bathing, dressing, medication, meals, laundry, and even housekeeping are handled, and there's special medical care available, too, with nurses and trained staff on hand twenty-four hours a day.
Everyone's looked after with regular safety checks, emergency response systems, and security for the community, including controlled access and wellness checks, and there's a real focus on keeping everyone safe using personal alert systems, fall prevention, and mobility aids like Hoyer lifts or wheelchair assistance if needed. The grounds include secure outdoor areas where people can walk safely, sit on the patio, or enjoy a garden, plus screened-in porches. Housekeeping takes care of things like linen changes, grounds upkeep, and even plant care. Folks who like being busy can join in with arts and crafts, music, classes, parties, holiday events, porch concerts, and outings on the community bus, which also takes people to appointments or shopping trips around town. There's a full schedule of activities and wellness programs, including therapy for things like speech, mobility, and occupational needs, so people can work on staying stronger or recovering from an illness.
The Memory Care side offers a special program called SPARK, which means care goes on day and night to help people with memory loss, and the staff get specialized training to help work with residents who have dementia, behavior issues, or chronic illnesses. There's also a focus on person-centered care, making sure each resident gets what helps them most, whether that's help with eating, toileting, or getting dressed, along with companionship and social support for better well-being. Apartments and main areas are designed for easy movement, with wheelchair access and both one-person and two-person transfer help. People can go to religious services on site, and pets are welcome with pet-friendly features available in the facility. Staff hiring goes through background checks, reference checks, and everyone gets trained in things like ethics, safety, and elder care, and the community follows Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity rules.
Living at Hawkins Creek means having privacy in your own apartment, but also being able to join in common areas-like living rooms, mailboxes, shared laundry, and cable TV in the large spaces-and there's a choice of different apartment floor plans to suit different needs. Meals, laundry services, and housekeeping are handled, and the on-site staff are attentive to both hospitality and health. It's a place where people can keep busy, go out on the bus, see friends, and have family come visit on family nights or birthday events. For anyone needing more support or memory care, the facility is set up with skilled nursing and care that goes beyond what's typical in assisted living, always keeping safety, comfort, and dignity in mind. The building's part of the Sagora Senior Living group and offers virtual tours for those who want to see what the apartments, grounds, and layouts look like before visiting.
