A Prime Location

In the United States alone, there are almost 50 million senior citizens — adults over the age of 65. As adults get older, it’s common for them to experience things like memory loss, motor function issues and health conditions. While some seniors may be able to get by at home, others require more hands-on help — that’s where senior living comes in.

The goal of senior living is to give older adults the care and support they deserve during their golden years. At Cedar Creek Memory Care Homes’ Auxiliary House, we do our best to accommodate the needs of residents and improve the overall quality of life. Read on to learn more about what to expect from our home.

Cedar Creek Memory Care is known for its premier residences, and Auxiliary House is no exception. Our home is situated in Bradmoor, Montgomery County, a peaceful neighborhood known for its natural beauty. Along with beautiful park views, you’ll find tons of convenient amenities (including Suburban Hospital and NIH, which are just across the street). While our home may be in Bethesda, we cater to residents of the surrounding areas, including:

  • Chevy Chase, MD (10-minute drive)
  • Silver Spring, MD (20-minute drive)
  • Washington, DC (30-minute drive)

The home itself consists of eight private rooms, complete with their own private restrooms. While we may be a senior living facility, our small size and central location create the feel of a cozy bed and breakfast.

A Warm Environment

At Cedar Creek Memory Care Homes’ Auxiliary House, we get to know each of our residents by maintaining a small resident capacity of eight. During the day, our staff-to-resident ratio is 1:4, which helps ensure someone is always available to cater to any emerging health concerns or requests.

Due to our private suites, residents can enjoy a sense of independence and manage their own space. We also offer several common areas, including the following:

  • Wrap-around porch
  • Vegetable and flower garden
  • Living room
  • Lounge
  • Dining room
  • Kitchen

Residents are free to roam around and take advantage of the different amenities available in the home. During warm days, there’s nothing better than sitting outside with a cup of tea and admiring the grounds and garden. When it’s colder, you might find residents indoors, socializing in the living room or enjoying a movie in the lounge.

High-Quality Memory Care Services

When looking for new assisted living and memory care facilities, one of the most important factors to consider is health services. At Auxiliary House, we feature a team of experienced care professionals who are available 24/7 to meet the unique care needs of residents. Services include:

  • Assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing and grooming)
  • Personal care and incontinence care
  • Medication administration

All of our caregivers are licensed as certified medical technicians — we also offer a visiting geriatric nurse practitioner and access to doctors, dentists, therapists and podiatrists. While needs vary, the majority of our residents require a cross between assisted living and dementia care services.

A Dedicated Staff

We wouldn’t be able to cater to the needs of Bradmoor and Chevy Chase residents if it weren’t for the help of our hard-working staff. Along with our licensed caregivers, we depend on the assistance of the following employees:

  • Manager
  • Delegating nurse
  • Maintenance supervisor
  • Two directors, clinical and operations
  • Activity therapist
  • HR manager

Every employee plays an essential role in ensuring our home is running smoothly. Many of our staff members have been with us for over 10 or even 20 years, which stands out in comparison to other senior living communities.

While every staff member has their own unique role, they all share one thing in common: an interest in helping and getting to know our residents. When a new resident comes in, they receive a special resident biography that highlights everything from their interests and achievements to their backgrounds and family lives. These albums help residents strengthen their memories and give employees a chance to get to know them on a deeper level.

Senior Living Activities

At our assisted living community, we offer a variety of activities designed to improve holistic health, keep residents engaged and encourage socialization. Instead of creating a set schedule of activities residents have to comply with, we let seniors get involved in the process. After working with our activity therapist, residents can create and even host their own small group activities that reflect their interests. Here are a few of the things you might find going on in our home:

  • Musical sessions
  • Fitness classes
  • Reminiscing exercises

When they’re not developing a new hobby by participating in an activity, you might find residents helping out around the house (such as by doing dishes or completing chores). By encouraging residents to be involved, we foster a friendly, easygoing environment that truly feels like home.

Delicious Dining and Additional Amenities

No senior living experience is complete without a good meal. At Cedar Creek Memory Care Homes, we offer three nutritious meals a day, all of which can be adjusted to meet special dietary restrictions and preferences. We also provide the following amenities:

  • Healthy snacks
  • Housekeeping and laundry services
  • Helpful technology (including a house iPad that can be used for video calls)

By taking care of household needs, we hope to keep every resident happy, healthy and secure.

What Families Say

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
