What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Creekside Inn Memory Care receives highly mixed reviews. Many families praise the attractive, clean, home-like facility, well-maintained grounds, secure design, pleasant rooms, courtyard, and extensive daily activities. Positive reviewers frequently describe staff as warm, patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and familiar with residents, with several saying their loved ones were treated respectfully and safely. Families also appreciate good food, transportation, socialization, responsive community-relations personnel, and the peace of mind provided by attentive care. However, concerns appear repeatedly. Several reviewers report understaffing, high turnover, inconsistent training, and frequent leadership changes. Some say care declined after management transitions or depended heavily on particular employees. Complaints include poor hygiene and grooming, messy rooms, inadequate assistance with dentures and activities, delayed communication about health changes, unanswered calls, and insufficient follow-up. One family alleged that a resident developed kidney failure; others reported falls, missing belongings, lost equipment, and unresolved billing or pharmacy issues. Multiple reviewers felt management was dismissive, unprofessional, or more focused on admissions than ongoing family communication. Refund handling after death was criticized. Other concerns include high costs, shared or small rooms, limited outdoor space for some residents, occasional odors, and a perceived mismatch for residents with only moderate dementia, since many residents have advanced Alzheimer’s disease. One visitor found the facility malodorous and noted unattractive construction. Overall, Creekside appears to offer a pleasant environment and genuinely caring staff, but experiences vary considerably. Prospective families should evaluate staffing, leadership stability, communication practices, care consistency, costs, room arrangements, and procedures for belongings, medical changes, and discharge.
