Memory Care Services

Emeritus at Creekside is specifically designed for those living with dementia and memory loss issues. Our program is called “Join Their Journey®,” where our main intention is to discover and learn everything about our residents’ life stories so we can develop a specific therapeutic plan of care. Our staff members are trained and oriented continually on how to best engage a resident that is experiencing memory difficulty. At Emeritus at Creekside, it's our partnership with the families that enable us to provide superior, activity-focused care. Last, our parent company, Emeritus Senior Living, incorporates the support and expertise of the nationally recognized clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Paul Nussbaum, to ensure that we offer a brain healthy lifestyle for our seniors.

Our senior living community is designed to care for seniors with dementia and/or memory loss issues through various services and amenities. These services and amenities will be based on each resident's needs. Learn more about all of Emeritus’ memory care services.
