Anita Northwood, owner and partner, dreamed of a facility like Silvercreek while taking care of her aging parents in California. She flew back and forth to California to help manage their care. After she lost them, she began working on the dream of a quality, assisted-care facility in Sun Valley. That was in 2011.
Anita’s dream is now a reality. Silvercreek Assisted Living and Memory Care, located at 31 E. McKercher Boulevard, Hailey, opened in May of 2018, and on Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2018, they are holding a ribbon-cutting and open house for the community.
Silvercreek is designed like a home, where residents have their own apartment, including a kitchenette and fully accessible bathroom. Shared spaces include a living room, dining room, kitchen, activity room, sun room, patio and walking trails.
Reagan McLaughlin, administrator of Silvercreek, said, “We want people to know that this is their home and we are working for them in their home. Our staff puts their heart and soul into caring for residents. Our nurse, Leslie Moore, and her staff are highly trained, compassionate and go above and beyond to make sure residents are happy and comfortable.”
“Many people wait too long to come to us,” Anita explained. “They often arrive weakened, and with the care they receive here, improve dramatically.”
Studies show that a key factor in longevity is social interaction—having a community. “Here, we have a community,” Reagan added.
