Cottonwood Creek Healthcare Community sits at 1111 West Shore Dr in Richardson, TX, and folks know it for offering several types of care in a setting that tries to feel like home, with services for those who need assisted living, independent living, memory care, and even those looking for non-medical home care services, and you'll find that staff there go through background checks, drug tests, and reference checks, so families can feel a bit more at ease about who's caring for their loved ones. The community offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, along with private and semi-private rooms, and all have cable, free WiFi, and full kitchens, which makes it feel less like an institution and more like an apartment at times, and the rooms are easy to get around with wheelchair-accessible showers and wide hallways.
Nursing staff and other caregivers are available round the clock to help with bathing, dressing, medication, mobility, grooming, meals, and things like laundry and housekeeping, plus if someone needs help with transferring or walking, the team provides that too, which comes in handy for people who may not be steady on their feet anymore. Memory care stands out here with custom health plans and activities that stimulate the mind, and there's a full rehabilitation program for those needing to regain mobility or strength after an illness or injury, with therapy plans set up by a team.
There's a lot to do since the activities are designed to keep people busy and socially involved, whether it's exercise groups, arts and crafts, game nights, holiday parties, story time, or musical gatherings, and you'll also see educational programs and devotional services happening, plus you can sit out in landscaped courtyards or join in gardening, and then have meals in community dining areas or let guests dine in special spaces. Amenities include a gym, outdoor patios, gardens, walking areas, a recreation room, and even a barber and beauty shop onsite, which folks tend to appreciate, especially when it gets tough to get out as often as before, and pets are sometimes allowed in certain areas depending on the policies.
Home care services make it possible for seniors who live offsite to get companionship, meal help, light housekeeping, laundry, mobility help, and other small needs taken care of by trained aides who come to their homes, so older adults don't always have to move out to get a little support. At the main facility, diabetes care, hospice, medication administration, and short-term rehab are available, and staff try to look after both physical and emotional well-being, with activities and tailored services that really do try to make daily life more comfortable and less lonely. So with a traditional brick exterior, gardens out front, and lots of spaces to gather, Cottonwood Creek Healthcare Community provides a range of care for people who want independence, people who need help, and those who need special memory or nursing care, all backed by a team trained for it.
