Ingleside at Rock Creek sits alongside Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C., spread over 14 acres of trees, walking trails, and gardens, so folks can find quiet spots but also feel close to city life, with the Red Line Metro right nearby for easy trips to places like Tenleytown or Friendship Heights where there's museums, concerts, and plays. This place has served seniors for more than a hundred years, offering a Life Plan Community, which some call a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so as people's needs change, they don't have to move since independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term rehab, and home care are all on one campus. The community offers 105 independent living apartments, 21 assisted living residences, and 32 memory care units plus a new Creekside addition with more living choices.
Residents can pick from a variety of floor plans, with amenities like an indoor heated pool, state-of-the-art fitness rooms, an art studio, library, theater, and even guest suites for visitors. There are chef-prepared meals in the modern dining room, casual bistro, and grab-and-go café, with flexible meal plans and regular as well as therapeutic diets. The campus is easy to get around, with wheelchair accessibility, underground parking, and features for folks with disabilities, and people can bring their pets. The staff are friendly, joyful, and kind, always helpful, and they've received awards for best activities, friendliness, and overall quality in senior living communities.

Memory care neighborhoods and assisted living residences have private rooms and outdoor spaces, with activities that aim to keep folks active, healthy, and connected, and there's a salon for grooming, social day programs, and even help with paperwork for financial aid.
