Memory Care Services

Residents of Cedar Creek enjoy seeing the same friendly faces every day. While our five homes have a total of just 46 residents, we have 60 staff members. As a result, every resident receives personalized attention that can help them better manage their Alzheimer’s disease or dementia symptoms. Staff members spend much of their time developing personal connections with each resident and delivering programming to support residents’ physical and emotional needs.

Routine is the cornerstone of our Alzheimer’s care programs. When residents know what to expect, they’re less likely to become agitated or experience high levels of anxiety. Each resident’s routine is based on their medical and psychological needs, but once it’s established, staff members focus on delivering a consistent experience. As a result, residents with dementia benefit from having some level of normalcy in their lives.

We also work to involve residents in every aspect of our programming. Residents with mild dementia lead group activities or help staff members with household chores, and residents with moderate to advanced dementia stay involved by attending activity sessions or socializing with each other in the common areas of each assisted living home.

Affordable Assisted Living

Many senior living facilities advertise low monthly rates but then charge extra for every little service. Cedar Creek’s assisted living homes are all-inclusive, meaning you never have to worry about additional charges for the services and items your loved one needs to stay comfortable and engaged. Our assisted living rates include a private room, housekeeping services, three daily meals, snacks, medication administration and more. If your loved one’s needs change, they’ll continue paying the same rate.

Cedar Creek has physical therapists, doctors, nurses and other experienced medical professionals come to each assisted living home on a regular basis. While residents are welcome to continue using their personal health care providers, seeing our doctors improves continuity of care and ensures staff members are aware of any changes in a resident’s medical status. Some residents also work with speech therapists or occupational therapists, depending on their needs.

What Families Say

Jane Kelley

Exceptional management. Wonderful and VERY dedicated staff. Loving environment. Creative activities. I can’t say enough positive things about my 11 year experience at this home. You will sleep well at night knowing your family member is in the best possible hands.

Joanne Irving

I cannot say enough positive things about the wonderful care and attention my mother receives from the superb staff at the Cedar Creek Homes. I feel blessed to have found them.

Mary Goldstein

Hillwood is Amazing! My Uncle has been there since October of 2019 and he is very happy. If you want your love one to be safe, happy and well cared for this is the place for them! I am so thankful for all the staff and management do for my Uncle.

Tracy Perkins

Mom moved from Auxiliary House to Hillwood when she needed more care. Both houses are managed by Cedar Creek. Fabulous company that knows dementia inside and out and cares for the residents in small homes (not institutional entities). Staff are great and have a long tenure with the company, the management is helpful and informed, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide. Strongly recommend. It was a great place for Mom.

Dave Chapman

My mother lives here. Ruthie and Anna are the best, not just for managing the facility and communicating to families, but for being visionary and pro-active during these very trying times. I never wonder if my mom is well cared for. Thanks to all the staff for everything they do for all the residents, not just my mom — we’re lucky to have found this home.

Ann Moseley

My mother has been in Cedar Glen for two and a half years. It was the second facility I visited and my search stopped there. It’s a genuine home, not at all institutional, where all the residents are known and loved as individuals. It’s also very professionally run and there are clearly systems in place to ensure high standards of care. Staff turnover seems almost nonexistent. It’s exactly what a care home should be and I feel so lucky to have found it.

Kathy Sabatier

My mother has been a resident at Auxiliary House for over 4 years. We feel so fortunate to have found this wonderful place where the staff care so deeply for all the residents.

Elaine Kallen Fertig

After visiting other facilities I chose Auxiliary House for my father as the staff was very one-on-one, dedicated, caring and their personal involvement with my father was outstanding – also making the family feel reassured and comfortable.

Ashley Dotson Madison

This community was great! They were very helpful and informative, and had a lot to offer for a much lower price then a lot of the other surrounding communities! Also love how all their homes are memory care homes in a small intimate environment!

Frequently Asked Questions

Once a resident has moved in, are there charges for extra care services that are not reflected in the daily rate?

Daily rates are all-inclusive and do not change as care needs increase. Cedar Creek does not charge extra for personal care, medication administration, laundry services, or housekeeping. Residents do pay for their own medication, personal care items, and supplies.

We have doctors, nurses, therapists, dentists, podiatrists, and other health care professionals who visit residents at our Alzheimer’s care homes. Residents are welcome to continue to see their own doctor, but we provide the option to utilize our doctors for convenience and for more monitored medical oversight.

Cedar Creek residents may receive a doctor’s order for physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy. Therapists can come to any of our Alzheimer’s care facilities to work with our residents.

We will work with you and their doctor(s) to obtain the necessary information for the assessment. Once the decision has been made to move to Cedar Creek, we will assist you in locating a doctor who can be their new health care practitioner if needed.

We have a unique and individualized activity program, structured to meet the needs of residents with Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss. Our amazing full-time activity therapist learns about each resident’s background and finds opportunities to bring them joy. You may find our activity therapist outside working with residents in one of our retirement community’s vegetable gardens, taking residents on a journey with her iPad to explore their hometown, or leading a reminiscence group. If our activity therapist meets a resident with an interest in quilting, they start a quilting group. We also have therapists who provide cognitive stimulation and entertainers who provide music therapy for our residents. In addition, our caregivers are trained to engage residents in meaningful activities throughout the day, such as leading daily exercise or sing-a-longs, working on puzzles, and art projects. Our activity program varies based on the home and the interests of the residents, which is why we can truly say it is unique.

In most cases, residents stay with us for long-term care throughout their lives. Additionally, residents whose health status qualifies for hospice care can be assisted at our residential memory care homes by nursing support from local hospice organizations. In rare cases, when a resident’s care needs exceed the licensed capabilities of Cedar Creek, we work closely with family members to find the best alternative and promote a smooth transition to the new care facility.

Comprehensive Activity Programs

All our memory care homes in Montgomery County have comprehensive activity programs designed to help residents stay active and build strong relationships with each other. These memory care activities are highly personalized and developed with the needs of dementia sufferers in mind. Depending on the resident’s location and health status, a personalized activity program may include dancing, spending time in a community garden, doing crafts or working on puzzles.

If your loved one has Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia, Cedar Creek offers a safe, comfortable alternative to a nursing home or secure hospital unit. All residents receive personal attention and comprehensive care for as long as they need it, making it easier to manage their dementia symptoms.
