It looks to be a very well run, clean, nice facility. We only arranged for a simple walk through of this community. This was a quick, initial visit so unable to know full details. IN summary this was a first impression of our initial visit as we search for living arrangements for father-in-law.

Peace of mind for you and your loved one

Always room for improvement but we and [name removed] are happy. The onboarding could be a little better, just a person there to guide you upon arrival and as you first just settle in.

Review for Rock Creek Senior Living

Good food good service friendly staff and residents poor pharmacy. Frankly, it was luck more than anything. I did a virtual tour of three facilities, and this was the last one and I trusted in my instincts and chose it. The cost was less here I am blessed this turned out to be a very good facility and it is located very close to my son's house which I did not know when I chose it. A lot of luck.
