Overview of Grand Living at Indian Creek

Grand Living at Indian Creek offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Cedar Rapids, IA. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, so the range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without leaving the community.

The community has 264 beds, bringing together more residents, staff, and usually more programming than a smaller community. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in.

Multiple restaurant-style dining venues serve chef-prepared meals, giving residents more than one on-site setting for meals. A pool and wellness center provide places for exercise, while salon services support personal care and outdoor recreation areas offer space for outdoor activity. Chauffeured transportation is available for scheduled travel, and LUMINATIONS® memory care and FACETS® Events and Activities are among the community’s named programs.

Dara Fishnick serves as the administrator.
