It's a great place for those with dementia to go. This is a locked memory care unit. They offer bingo, table bowling, arts and crafts, movies, and other for activities. The facility has 2 floors. Memory care is located on the 2nd floor. Every time I see the staff, they fill me in on everything going on with my loved one. If something happens or they have questions, they will call me and let me know. Housekeeping comes regularly, laundry services are done weekly. His room is always clean.

Amazing family and team!

Our family loves the team and family feel at Traditions. They are very caring people and we found the communication exceeded expectations. Dad was in another place before this and the service and communication were not what we expected. Yes it is beautiful and new, but it is the people that make it so wonderful and make it HOME. PS: Dad is involved with the men's group and actually has some close friends now!

Caring and Clean

Toured the community for my mom. She has been living at home and had a few falls and we decided it was time for her to make a move not only for care but also to have the socialization and make friends, which she has not had in the past year or so due to Covid. Appletree was a wonderful home like setting with a touch of the Old Richardson feel. From the first phone call , to the front desk , and the staff - they listened, greeted, and you could feel the care. The residents were dressed nice and looked well taken care of. I really enjoyed this community and meeting them and look forward to moms first day!

our experience with Vitality Living is so far so good. my loved one has a nice apartment, located in a good neighborhood - he is well taken care of. they're also doing a great job of transporting him to his appointments. I especially like that they keep the family informed on my loved ones care and well being. it's important to me that I am kept up to date; I feel involved in everything that's going on.

Nice Place to Live

This is a great place for mom or dad. I would highly recommend it. There were some changes due to Covid, so the meals have been moved to their rooms. The food is generally good and my mom likes it. Compared to other communities, she was unable to eat as healthy (a lot of carbs and snacks); causing her to gain weight. Here at Traditions of Mill Creek, my mom has actually lost weight within 3 months of living there, so the food surely has some nutritional value.

They encourage you to make it your home

Vitality living is conveniently located for shopping and restaurants, really anything you may need and it it in a matter of blocks away. The staff are so friendly, I would give them a 10 out of 5 if I could. They are all extremely helpful. The food is wonderful. We have an amazing chef and the quantity is great. I would tell others you probably need a scooter or walker if you are independent living and are not very mobile because the cottages are a pretty fair distance. If you are moving from a house, you will be limited in what you are able to take with you, there is not a lot of storage space. There are also not garages for your cars. They are a very pet friendly facility, people walk around with their pets and even put them on their scooters. Everybody seems very happy here and I would recommend to others looking.
