Elk Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care sits about three miles from the center of Burleson, Texas, in a quiet spot run by the local Cantrell and Powell families, and offers support to older adults who need help with daily life or who have memory problems like Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, which gives families some peace of mind knowing the staff is ready to help any time, day or night. Folks can live in private studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments ranging from 301 to 544 square feet, each set up to let in plenty of sunlight, with granite counters and extra storage, plus the place welcomes pets so people don't have to be without their furry friends. Elk Creek has a single-story layout, which means no steps to worry about.
They've got a main dining room with a food and beverage team who do three home-cooked meals each day, and you'll often see neighbors or staff stopping to chat in the cozy lounges, bright art spaces, or out in the neat yard. The place puts focus on both privacy and safety, while encouraging everyone to join group activities, clubs, and special events throughout the week, including well-loved monthly family nights. Elk Creek's "The Cottage" memory care program stands out for supporting people with dementia in a secure area, where staff help with daily tasks and set up activities suited to different abilities, and this spot carries a dementia-friendly certification and is known as an age-friendly business.
Caregivers help each person with bathing, dressing, medicine, laundry, and cleaning, and families can check things out online with a virtual tour. Weekly housekeeping and personal laundry come standard, alongside help with medicines and plenty of planned events and wellness programs, like "My Wellness," "Therapy Services," and "Miracle Moments," all put together so folks can find purpose and feel at ease. The facility's involved in the wider community, offering therapy, social events, and something to do most days, which can break up the routine and bring new friendships. Elk Creek stands out for its attentive staff, bright rooms, restaurant-style food, and way of making both residents and visiting families feel welcome without much fuss or pressure.
