Rock Creek at The Park is a dedicated memory-care community equipped to support residents living with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. Care teams are trained to manage wandering behaviors around the clock, whether they occur during the day or at night, and safeguards are in place for elopement risks, combative episodes, and other behavioral concerns. Nurses provide wound care, oxygen management, and oversee special dietary needs, including oral diabetic medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. The community also accepts residents with co-existing psychiatric diagnoses and can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, ensuring that even individuals who are bed-bound receive the necessary attention.
An RN or LPN is on site 24 hours a day, with an additional nurse on call at all times. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift maintains supervision throughout the building. Security measures include fenced front and rear areas, door alarms, WanderGuard systems, and in-room pull cords that alert staff immediately. Transfer support ranges from simple standby assistance to one- or two-person transfers, Hoyer-lift use, and complete bed-bound care, accommodating residents who rely on walkers or wheelchairs.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some come with a private bathroom, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate to personal taste. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation contains every feature, so families should confirm the exact details of the room they select.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, and snacks are available between scheduled dining times. The kitchen team offers diet modifications for residents who require low-sugar, low-sodium, texture-altered, or other physician-ordered plans, coordinating closely with nursing staff to monitor intake and manage special diets.
Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, and regular religious services held within the community. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
