Gull Creek offers residents and their families a relaxed environment and a variety of retirement lifestyle offerings, including everything from assisted living apartments to a safe and secure memory care neighborhood and short-term stays.
Located in historic Berlin, Maryland – Gull Creek is close to shopping, superior care and cultural attractions, plus beautiful beaches and state parks, including Assateague Island and its famous wild ponies.
We provide experienced senior care at our community with an active and vibrant lifestyle. Assisted living offers the help you need to maintain the independence you desire, and we have a memory care neighborhood where residents can enjoy all of the benefits of Gull Creek while living in a safe and secure environment.
The emphasis at our community is on helping each resident maintain their health, wellness, dignity and independence.
At Gull Creek, we provide opportunities for residents to maintain a sense of purpose and belonging throughout the different seasons of dementia.
We focus on abilities rather than limitations because we understand that as we age, our hearts hopes and desires do not. We continuously seek innovation through a variety of philosophies to sustain the aspects of life that really matter. We use a person’s life story to create a tailored, personalized approach to serving individuals and their families.
We offer social clubs, such as our men’s group, book club and sewing circle, along with community service projects, pet therapy, spiritual services, cognitive stimulation, outings, an outdoor garden and physical and musical therapy.
