The Villages

Overview of Our Communities

We have 3 different kinds of communities: Independent, Assisted, and Memory Care, each staffed by professionals with unique training, from kitchen staff to landscapers, and medical personnel like CNA's, Medical Techs, and LVN's. It's important to note that we do not employ doctors and RNs, as we are not a medical facility.

Staff Training and Safety Measures

All CNA's undergo continuous on-the-job training to stay updated with caregiving protocols. Safety measures include emergency pendants and buttons for Independent Living residents, and regular staff interactions for Assisted Living and Memory Care residents, with detailed care plans and emergency protocols in place.

Family and Transition Support

We work closely with families for smooth transitions to higher care levels and offer resources like outside caregivers and downsizing experts. Newcomers are welcomed by committees and monthly meetings.

Dining Excellence

Our dining programs are renowned, with an executive chef who incorporates residents' preferences into healthy menus, accommodating all dietary needs. Special meals and holiday events invite family participation.

Resident and Family Communication

Lisa Hulse, our Vice-President of Operations, ensures prompt responses to complaints, with department heads addressing specific issues. We maintain up-to-date contact lists for family communication and incident reporting.

Respite Stays and Pet Policy

Garden Creek offers respite stays, and we are pet-friendly in 3 of our 4 buildings, excluding Memory Care. Vaccine clinics were provided during the pandemic, and we encourage ongoing vaccinations.

Long-Term Residency and Availability

Many residents have been with us for over 15 years, transitioning between communities as needed. We have strong relationships with local skilled nursing facilities for those requiring such services. Currently, we have good availability across all communities.
