With holidays right around the corner, it's important to make sure that your loved ones are taken care of during this time. As caring for aging parents and grandparents becomes more challenging, ease the stress by considering a move to Traditions of Mill Creek. Here, their well-being and quality of life are prioritized in a luxury retirement community. With the capacity to have 130 residents, Mill Creek offers a range of living options, including assisted living, memory care, and independent living. Residents can enjoy their golden years in a state-of-the-art facility where they can choose from a wide variety of activities and programs to engage in, promising an active lifestyle.

“It’s an incredible atmosphere, which is exactly what you want,” explains Jeff Barger, a member of the marketing team. “Whether you’re a resident there, or your family is there, the staff is incredibly dedicated, caring, and supportive, which is just really crucial.”

One of the key reasons Mill Creek operates so smoothly is thanks to their exceptional staff, who work tirelessly to provide residents with access to the best care imaginable. From hosting coffee clubs, yoga, and happy hours to bringing in live entertainment consisting of pianists, guitarists, and even karaoke nights, they’re always ensuring that residents are having as much fun as possible. Mill Creek also stands out by offering EyeWatch LIVE, a cutting-edge AI safety monitoring system, in their memory care, setting them apart from other facilities. Additionally, they provide a check-in program for independent living residents, allowing families to feel at ease knowing there is someone consistently checking on their loved one. 

“It’s a warm, inviting, and bright place,” Sales Director Suzanne Tolbert says. “So many people have this preconceived notion that senior living is this dreary, dark, depressing place, but then people come in to see a more modern, vibrant, and bright environment. They see our residents active.” 

Having fun doesn’t end when you move into a retirement community, and Traditions of Mill Creek is proof of that. Both the staff and residents are thankful for the community that Mill Creek has created. They are getting ready for both fall events and the holiday season.

“We are planning a fun Casino Night on November 14th,” Tolbert says. “People are welcome to come out and have some fun with us and get a feel for the community. We are going to play games like poker, roulette, dice, and more.” They’re also hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for residents and their families to remind them of the community that Mill Creek offers during what could be a hard time. 

“I’m personally thankful for our amazing residents, staff, and the resident families that are there,” Barger explains. “We have some really amazing people in this building that are working there every day to make residents’ lives better and more enjoyable. We have some really amazing residents, and then we have some really incredible and caring families that are a part of it. It’s a real community.”

What is often a challenging transition in life, Mill Creek goes above and beyond to make it as personalized as possible. They remind both residents and their families that they’re never alone, with a built-in community ready to support them and build meaningful relationships with residents throughout their lives at Mill Creek.

“We’ve got great residents,” Tolbert says. “They’re inspiring, and they’re funny, and they’ve accomplished so much. I mean, people just have no idea the incredible, interesting lives that they’ve lived, and sitting down and having those conversations with them is meaningful.”

Traditions of Mill Creek is more than just a retirement community; it’s a place where residents truly feel at home. Between the tight-knit community and the exceptional amenities, Mill Creek ensures a lavish lifestyle for its residents. Visit their website today to schedule a tour.
