McKay Creek Assisted Living

McKay Creek Assisted Living sits at 1601 County 1303 Rd in Pendleton, Oregon, you'll notice right away how clean the place is and how the staff seems to care about everybody's needs, and folks get to know each other, because the team there treats residents like they're their own family, which makes people feel at home and comfortable enough to relax in the nicely updated interiors, and with so many activities, like live music every week, arts and crafts, resident musical groups, wellness classes, educational opportunities, and fun events such as the Round Up BBQ and casino nights, people always seem to find something to do and somewhere to belong. The community offers personalized care, including medication administration, Alzheimer's care, respite care, restaurant-style dining with chef-prepared meals, and apartments meant to feel like your own home, with options for single or studio rooms, some even letting you have a pet, and you can often spot people chatting in the large common rooms or out walking through the well-kept outdoor spaces surrounded by trees and paths. The Activities Director and Assistant Director often get comments for doing a good job, and you'll notice staff is available around the clock to help, backed up by a history of service since the year 2000 and caregivers and nurses who know their jobs. Being across from CHI St. Anthony Hospital and near clinics makes it easy to get medical care if you need it, and with regular transportation, access to a gym, offsite trips, church services, on-site haircuts or barber visits, free WiFi, and a focus on safety, people can keep some independence while still getting support. McKay Creek Assisted Living also won a National Quality Award Bronze in 2017, and people remark on how the building looks particularly nice at the holidays, so it's a spot where residents have many ways to enjoy daily life in a lively, friendly community, whether they need a little help, memory care, or even skilled nursing, and the place has a long reputation for bringing comfort, support, clean surroundings, and a bit of fun right in Umatilla County.
