Navigating Memory Care: How Peters Creek Supports Residents and Families in Redmond, WA

At Peters Creek Retirement Community in Redmond, Washington, we understand that a dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming for both seniors and their families. For over 30 years, our memory care, assisted living, respite care, and Day Stay programs have provided specialized support to help residents live with dignity and purpose. Our compassionate approach, backed by experienced staff and tailored care, makes Peters Creek a trusted partner in navigating memory care in Redmond.

 

Specialized Memory Care Designed for Comfort and Safety

Our memory care program is crafted to meet the unique needs of residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Located in a secure wing of our craftsman-style community, our memory care suites—private, semi-private, and friendship suites—offer a safe, comforting environment. Key features include:

  • Personalized Care Plans: Our certified nursing staff works closely with families to create individualized care plans, addressing needs like medication management, bathing, and dressing. These plans evolve with the resident’s condition to ensure ongoing support.
  • Engaging Activities: We offer daily activities, such as art therapy, music sessions, and sensory games, designed to stimulate cognitive function and evoke joy. A 2024 study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that tailored activities can reduce agitation and improve quality of life for dementia patients.
  • Secure Environment: Our memory care wing features locked entrances and routine safety checks to prevent wandering, a common concern for families. This allows residents to move freely within a protected space, fostering independence.
  • Ongoing Staff Training: Peters Creek adheres to Washington state’s dementia training requirements, ensuring our caregivers are equipped to provide compassionate, evidence-based care.


“Our memory care team is dedicated to creating moments of connection,” says Sarah Mitchell, our Memory Care Coordinator. “Whether it’s sharing a favorite song or helping a resident feel at home, we focus on their strengths and individuality.”


Day Stay and Respite Care: Flexible Support for Families

For families exploring memory care or needing temporary support, our Day Stay and respite care programs offer flexible solutions. Day Stay guests participate in memory care activities, from music therapy to group outings, while receiving personalized support from our staff. Respite care provides short-term stays, giving caregivers peace of mind during travel or personal time. One family member shared, “The Day Stay program gave my mom a chance to thrive in a caring environment, and it helped us see how Peters Creek could be her home.”

Supporting Families Every Step of the Way

Choosing memory care is a deeply personal decision, and Peters Creek is committed to guiding families through the process. We offer:

  • Family Consultations: Our nursing staff meets with families to discuss care needs, answer questions, and provide resources on dementia care.
  • Community Resources: Redmond’s proximity to Kaiser Permanente Redmond Medical Center and local support groups, like those listed on Caring.com, ensures families have access to comprehensive care networks.
  • Transparent Communication: We maintain open lines of communication through phone calls, emails, and regular updates, keeping families informed about their loved one’s well-being.
