Creekside Inn Memory Care Community sits in Coeur d'Alene and is part of Koelsch Senior Communities, which has over 60 years of family-owned experience in senior care, and the building is purpose-built to help people with Alzheimer's, Dementia, and other forms of memory loss, so what you'll find here is a safe, calm environment where staff know how to help people with memory problems, providing services like aging in place, medication management, and mobility assistance, plus there are nurses on-site and doctors on call with staff always there twenty-four hours a day, and they're trained to respond to movement alerts and alarms, since safety is a big focus with monitored doors, window sensors, and bracelets that ring if someone tries to wander, all of it meant to keep folks safe but also respected and free to do what they can on their own.
People here can join daily activities that help with memory and engagement, so things like art classes, educational lectures, Wii Bowling, trips out to local restaurants or parks, and religious services right there in the building, and there's an activity director in charge of planning all this so no one has to feel left out, and you notice the place looks and feels homey with clean rooms, quiet sunrooms, a fireplace room, and plenty of common areas for meals or social visits, plus there are both private and semi-private rooms in the secured memory care area, which helps residents feel comfortable and safe if they're at risk for wandering.
The meals here show some thought for comfort, with a dining program called Koelsch Dining that offers restaurant-style meals, anytime dining, room service, and special diets for those who need gluten-free, low sodium, vegetarian, or low sugar foods, so everyone can eat what's healthy for them, and there's even a private dining option if families want to gather with loved ones, plus the kitchen can provide snacks if needed.
Support services cover a wide range, and that includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy, hospice and respite care, medication management, and full behavioral care for people who sometimes act out due to their condition-staff aren't shaken by the tough moments, and the place can handle residents with moderate to major dementia or those with more difficult behaviors, using mechanical lifts and standby assistance for transfers as needed, and they also help people with daily needs like bathing, getting dressed, and housekeeping or laundry.
Everyday life here is designed for memory support, with rooms decorated with familiar items and old photos to spark good memories, a calendar full of activities, plenty of opportunities to join in meals or social groups, and programs like Living With Purpose that use Humanitude techniques to keep residents feeling respected and seen, connected to their past, and engaged in the present, so even when memory slips, folks can feel valued, busy, and part of a community.
When families visit, they'll see caregivers and a community coordinator who keep them informed and help smooth out any changes as people settle in, and the place's atmosphere stays peaceful, clean, and genuinely caring, with staff known for being kind and knowledgeable about memory care, and with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars from 17 reviews, there's some satisfaction among residents and families who've seen the care first-hand.
