Overview of Rock Creek Senior Living

Rock Creek Senior Living offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Ankeny, IA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident maintains a private apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Because the community offers several care levels, a resident whose needs grow may be able to move to a different level of care without leaving the community. Independent living has a starting price of $3,615, and memory care has a starting price of $6,065, allowing families to compare the cost of private living with a secured, supervised care setting. Rock Creek Senior Living may be a good fit for someone who wants the possibility of changing care levels over time while remaining in the same community.

Seven Houses Restaurant offers flexible dining hours, and the community also has a 24-hour bistro. Residents can use the pool, fitness center, walking trails, transportation services, Events & Entertainment programs, and Wellness programs for recreation, exercise, outdoor time, activities, and travel support. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. Holly Perkins serves as the director.
