Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Lancaster, TX

Overview of Meadow Creek Senior Living

Meadow Creek Senior Living provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Lancaster, TX. Assisted living supports residents with bathing, dressing, and medication while they maintain their own apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Respite care provides a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover. The community may be a good fit for someone with dementia who needs secure, supervised support. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in.

With 50 beds, Meadow Creek is a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. A Walk Score of 39 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk. Joe Whitfield serves as administrator, and Pleasant Run Senior Living operates the community.
