Canyon Creek Memory Care Community

Canyon Creek has lovingly taken care of Mom. Thank you. Curt

Such a loving community!!

I provided full-time care for my mother, Sharon, for five years from our home in eastern Montana before transitioning her to Canyon Creek in 2016. My mother had Alzheimers disease and I kept her in our home as long as I could until the demands of the 24/7 care became too much for me to handle on my own. I first visited Canyon Creek in 2015 when Amy Peterson was the care director and revisited the facility when Amy left and Marianne took over. My experience with Canyon Creek was positive and before my mother eventually passed from Alzheimers, she received the care and supervision she needed at the facility. I visited my mom at Canyon Creek numerous times and the staff was professional, accommodating, and caring, and I especially appreciated the group activities provided for the residents. The daily afternoon sing-along session was therapeutic for all the individuals who participated and it appeared to me the residents were kept active with a diverse array of group activities including exercise, music, art projects, etc. The facility was clean, safe, and the meals were tasty. All of my mothers care needs were met as she regressed from Alzheimers. The social interaction the facility provided afforded my mother the stimulation she was lacking in our home and she had two close friends, who took her under their wings when my mom arrived and provided needed friendship. The Canyon Creek staff did everything they could to welcome my mom into their close-knit community while aiding her in the acclimation process, which I was initially concerned would be difficult for her. Overall, I would highly recommend Canyon Creek for those families searching for a memory-care facility for a loved one who is afflicted with Alzheimers and/or dementia.

Our experience at Canyon Creek is everything we had hoped for, and more. My Dad has severe dementia, and Parkinson's disease, as well as spinal problems. Sadly, he could not be cared for at home any longer. When we interviewed Canyon Creek, after seeing many other senior care home in Billings, with the delightful and helpful Amy, our fears for him were allayed immediately. We took exactly 45 minutes to decide this was the place for him. It is clean, well designed for patients in wheel-chairs, several TV and activity rooms which are well decorated and cozy, Dad's room is large, comfortable and always kept tidy. And he's always clean and dressed well, and enjoys the company of the other patients. The food is exactly the type of comfort food my Dad has always loved. The staff, the nurses and even the laundry lady are friendly, caring and concerned for his well-being. In fact, they even recommended that he stop taking a certain drug that was making him even more confused and sleepy. He's settled in nicely, and I'm even allowed to bring my dog for visits, and the patients there enjoy this immensely. I would recommend Canyon Creek very highly for those who want the peace of mind knowing that their loved one is being well cared for, with interesting activities, drives around Billings in a special van, and most especially, caring and loving staff who understand their duties to the patients as they manoeuvre through this very difficult journey of life.The very negative review on this site seems likely to be a disgruntled person with issues. Our experience could not be further from his. I would disregard it, totally.
