Cedar Creek Memory Care

Just 11 miles north of Seattle, the city of Edmonds offers a peaceful escape from the city’s chaos. Surrounded by beautiful, emerald trees and located just a short drive away from local beaches and parks, residents will never grow weary of Cedar Creek. The beautiful community offers luxury and comfort all in one. The purposefully built community exudes traditional elegance from its exterior to its interiors.

Cedar Creek is a proud member of Koelsch Senior Communities. With over 60 years of exceptional service in the retirement industry, families can trust them to care for their loved ones. Cedar Creek specializes in memory care designed to help reconnect loved ones to their cherished memories. Through unique services, the community aims to offer a purposeful retirement to residents experiencing memory loss.

Community Amenities and Services

Each resident’s well-being takes priority, so the licensed nursing staff works around the clock to help ensure each need is met. The staff is happy to assist with daily living activities, medication, and other personal needs. The community also does its best to make residents feel comfortable as possible through the interior design. The community features extra-wide hallways to prevent confusion, shadow boxes outside of each resident’s door to display their personal stories, and historical surprises scattered throughout to help stimulate memories.

Memory loss is different for each individual, so the staff personalizes services by listening and learning from each resident. Rather than focusing on what residents are unable to do, they focus their energy on each resident’s current cognitive and sensory abilities. Using key techniques — gaze, speech, touch, and verticality — the community aims to help residents properly engage their abilities. To connect each individual with their memories, residents are encouraged to connect with nature, express their faith, and feel purposeful. Each day should be filled with joy and contentment, so the community is always adding activities to the calendar. The wide range of activities supports the key techniques with activities including music therapy, art expression, personalized exercises, and more.

Cedar Creek believes that forming connections only makes memory loss easier, so they strive to provide an engaging environment. When residents aren’t participating in lively activities, they are encouraged to take advantage of shared spaces. Residents can connect with one another by dining, strolling, or relaxing together. The elegant, restaurant-style dining room serves three nutritious meals daily, which residents can choose to share with loved ones. Additionally, residents can accompany one another in the living room, interior courtyard, garden beds, or the salon and spa.

Living Arrangements

The community currently offers shared and private suites fully furnished with charming antiques and familiar decor. Each suite provides easy access to pull cords and call panels to help ensure resident safety. Additionally, the community is fully equipped with an advanced security system and window sensors to maximize security.
