Overview of Residences at Creekside (village at Robinwood)

Residences at Creekside is a 90-bed senior living community at 19800 Tranquility Circle in Hagerstown, Maryland, serving Washington County. Situated within the Village at Robinwood campus, the for-profit community offers a full continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services.

The Maryland Department of Health, Office of Health Care Quality, oversees regulatory compliance for the facility. While the current source data does not list a specific deficiency history, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Furthermore, federal records indicate that no civil money penalties or payment denials have been imposed by CMS within the past three years. This lack of reported enforcement actions suggests a stable regulatory standing, though families should verify the full inspection history directly with state authorities.

Nursing and professional care staff are available to support residents across the care continuum, with a particular focus on on-site rehabilitation for those requiring post-acute clinical support. Because specific data points such as staffing ratios, licensed nurse hours, and quality measures, like fall rates or pressure ulcer prevalence, are not currently reported, these represent significant information gaps. Clinical services are integrated into the larger village campus to facilitate transitions between residential and skilled nursing environments.

The community features a residential model designed for long-term stability, allowing residents to age in place as their medical needs evolve. Specific details regarding dining programs, all-inclusive utility packages, and daily social activities are not publicly listed in the current data set.

Shared community spaces and campus-wide security are standard for this level of care, but families must inquire about specific apartment square footage and safety features. Scheduled transportation and housekeeping services are common in such multi-level campuses, yet these should be confirmed during an on-site visit.

The availability of multiple care levels on a single campus provides a predictable path for long-term residency. Individuals evaluating Residences at Creekside should confirm the current license status, Medicaid acceptance, and the facility’s most recent comprehensive survey results directly with the Maryland Department of Health before making a placement decision.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Maryland

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Maryland?

Assisted living in Maryland supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Maryland Medicaid cover memory care?

Maryland Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Maryland) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
