The Laurel at Millcreek is a 55+ senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and senior apartments, and you'll notice the exposed-brick exterior and cozy walking paths that run through landscaped grounds with shaded patios so folks can sit outside and enjoy some fresh air or walk their pets since both cats and dogs are welcome. Residents can pick from various apartment sizes to find what fits them best, and the building has both indoor and outdoor common areas for everyone to use. There's a fitness center, a library, a computer room, a media room, and a soon-to-open business center. The beauty salon and barber shop stay busy, and maintenance-free living means no more yard work or repairs for the residents.
The community has 24-hour staff on site, including nurses, caregivers, and a doctor on call, all ready to help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and any health needs, and there's a big focus on creating personalized care plans for each person, so everyone gets what they need. For those who need more help, like people with memory problems or Alzheimer's, there's a safe memory care area with its own layout to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, plus lots of special attention from trained staff.
Dining is simple and flexible, with one or two meals prepared each day and menus designed with seniors' needs in mind, and if you want to cook in your own apartment you can. Housekeeping and laundry are provided. Folks who need help for a short time can get respite care, and the community offers hospice services as well as aging in place, which means residents can stay in the same place as their needs change.
Residents can join devotional services onsite or offsite, enjoy offsite outings, and take part in daily social, educational, and recreational activities onsite which include games, movie nights in the media room, reading in the library, using the Wi-Fi, and attending planned social events that bring everyone together, and because it's a smaller community there's a more personal touch from staff, with better communication to families. Parking is available, wheelchair accessible showers make bathing easier, and the whole building is smoke free indoors. The Laurel at Millcreek has received recognition like Best of Senior Living, Best All Star, and awards for activities. Pets are part of life here, and the Flex Gardens program offers flexible payment options. All in all, The Laurel at Millcreek has a calm and quiet setting, a good choice if you want to live with other seniors and have help when you need it, but still keep some freedom and comfort.
