Sapphire at Bridgecreek, previously operated as Bridgecreek Memory Care, is located at 1401 S 12th Street in Lebanon, Linn County, Oregon. The facility is classified as a residential care facility, not a skilled nursing facility. Sapphire Health Services operates the facility; the owner name is not publicly listed. Jody Burton serves as administrator. The license was issued September 7, 2000, putting the facility at approximately 25 years in operation. Licensed capacity is 58 beds across 31 apartments.

Inspections are conducted by the Oregon Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities via unannounced surveys. Five inspections are on record, with the most recent on February 7, 2024. The facility has accumulated 13 citations and 18 deficiencies, both well below Oregon state averages of 27 and 31 respectively. No fines and no severe citations are on record. Care types available include memory care, assisted living, specialty care, home care, hospice, transitional independent living, and rehabilitation services. While rehabilitation services are provided, the facility is not classified as a skilled nursing facility. Staffing is available 24 hours.

The Radiant Program is the facility’s signature memory care approach. According to the facility’s description, it is a sensory engagement model built around the five senses with practical tactile activities such as baking, painting, and gardening, and specific ambient and evening rituals. The program offers willing residents meaningful daily roles such as delivering mail, watering plants, and setting the table as a means of preserving identity and routine. Private and shared rooms are intentionally left unfurnished so families can bring personal items and create a familiar environment. Two separate dining areas, a daily snack cart, and individual dietary tracking support residents. Amenities include a beauty and barber shop, a large whirlpool bathtub, cable and Wi-Fi, common areas, and a courtyard with a patio and trees. A creek behind the facility provides resident duck-feeding access, a detail noted in multiple visitor accounts.

Reviews on Caring.com and A Place for Mom are predominantly positive, with staff consistently praised for knowing residents by name and maintaining high staff-to-resident ratios. Individual reviewers have flagged ongoing staffing turnover and food temperature inconsistency for rooms furthest from the kitchen. Families should ask about both directly. Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital is approximately 1.43 miles away. The Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments serves as the area’s ADRC for Linn County, with a Lebanon office at 44 Industrial Way, Suite D (541-259-5860). The Senior Companion Program operates through Samaritan Health Services for Linn and Benton counties at 541-812-4185.

Sapphire at Bridgecreek suits families seeking Alzheimer’s and dementia care in Lebanon. The facility’s Radiant Program approach and compliance record well below state averages may appeal to families evaluating options. Families should ask administrators directly about staffing turnover, food service consistency, and pet policies before placement.
