Creekside Oaks Retirement Living in Folsom is an Independent Living community that keeps medical support straightforward. Residents have access to a 24-hour nurse on call, and the property can coordinate hospice care on site when it becomes necessary. Dietary oversight is available for people who must follow physician-ordered meal plans, and the kitchen is prepared to accommodate most special diets. The community does not provide specialized dementia programs, so families looking for memory care will need to explore other options.
Safety and prompt assistance are built into the daily routine. Staff members work an awake night shift and undergo background checks before hire. A fenced rear area, alarmed doors, pull cords in residences, and personal emergency response systems all link residents quickly to staff if help is needed. While the setting is primarily for independent adults, caregivers can step in with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when someone who usually manages these tasks alone needs short-term support. An activity director organizes events that encourage continued mobility and social contact.
Apartments are set up for a range of preferences. Some units include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping, while other floor plans come with only a portion of these features. Prospective residents should confirm which amenities are present in the specific apartment they choose.
Meals are available through both a set menu and an on-order system, and snacks can be obtained outside scheduled dining hours. Independent Living residents can opt for a monthly meal plan and still prepare food in their own kitchenettes if they wish. Housekeeping and laundry services are offered as part of the Independent Living package, allowing residents to keep daily chores to a minimum.
The property supplies resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, movie room, library, internet access, and on-site religious services. Concierge support, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or local errands round out the services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
