Orchard Pointe at Creek Valley is a senior living community in Carrollton, Texas, located off Highway 121 near the Castle Hills neighborhood. Opened in early 2024, it is operated by Heritage Communities, an owner-operator of senior living communities since 2002 with properties in Nebraska, Iowa, Arizona, and Texas. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite/short-term recovery care all under one roof, allowing residents to age in place without needing to relocate as their needs change.
Independent living apartments provide access to meals, social opportunities, and maintenance-free living. Assisted living residents can choose from one- and two-bedroom apartments equipped with kitchenettes, cable TV, and internet access, along with 24/7 support tailored to individual care plans developed through a pre-move-in assessment. The community also offers a "transition in place" option, allowing residents to receive assisted living services while remaining in their original independent living apartment if their needs change.
Memory care services are designed for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, using a signature, Montessori-inspired programming approach that builds on residents' personal histories to encourage a sense of purpose and self-esteem. Staff use techniques such as cueing and guidance to help residents safely engage in enjoyable activities. A related program, Snapshots™, supports residents experiencing some cognitive impairment through small group and one-on-one cognitive and social stimulation.
Respite and recovery care is available for those needing short-term support, such as post-operative recovery or temporary relief for regular caregivers, with stays ranging from a couple of weeks to three months in furnished apartment homes. The community coordinates with residents' physicians and other providers during these stays. Orchard Pointe is described as pet-friendly.
The community maintains an active social calendar featuring games like Pitch and Rummikub, crafts such as crochet and quilting, book clubs, tech classes, outings, parties, and excursions, with input from residents on future programming. Located near Coyote Ridge, Hebron, Indian Creek, and Fairway Vista, the community is close to Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, The Colony Five Star Complex, Indian Creek Golf Club, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, and Hebron High School, along with additional area parks and trails.
