About us

Heatherwood Assisted Living is a homelike community nestled in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek.

Heatherwood is a privately owned memory care facility dedicated specifically for resident’s who are living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia related cognitive challenges.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek, Heatherwood Memory Care allows for a beautiful home-like setting for our residents as well as a vast array of shopping and exquisite culinary dining options only blocks away for our resident’s, their families and guests.


At Heatherwood we take pride in making the transition into our community as comfortable as possible. We believe that taking the time to understand the needs of our families is truly what sets us apart from other communities. Upon meeting with our experienced staff we will ensure that the process is both informative and effortless.

Despite the challenges of memory impairment, persons with dementia and Alzheimer’s still lead fulfilling and purposeful lives.
Here at Heatherwood we offer:

  • a full-time activities program 7 days a week
  • an individually created nutrition and care plan for each resident
  • assistance with medication management
  • wandering and fall risk reduction plans

Each of our spacious private and semi-private rooms have direct access to our secure courtyard. Our community offers the tranquility of the outdoors yet provides a safe and secure environment.

Our memory care community is designed and set up for fun and safe engagement between our residents, staff and guests.
