Memory care is not an afterthought. It’s our only thought.

Our specialized community environments and personalized care model reconnect your loved ones to their cherished memories—helping to create a deep sense of purpose for them. Welcome to Distinctive Memory Care at The Hampton at Salmon Creek.

Is Memory Care the right choice?

Memory loss manifests itself differently in each person and we recognize the challenges faced. This specialized Senior Living community, The Hampton at Salmon Creek is near medical facilities (Cascadia Healthcare and other medical professionals) equipped to serve the specific needs of those experiencing Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and other forms of memory loss.

Why Koelsch for Dementia Care

The ongoing care of your loved one is a choice of trust, not to be taken lightly. Koelsch strives to serve our seniors and their families with respect and compassion, while providing the best possible long care.

Family owned and operated Senior Living for over 60 years.

We are proud of the legacy we call family.
Emmett and Alice Koelsch began in 1958 with a nursing home in Kelso, Washington. Emmett and Alice instilled in their five children the philosophy: “Treat each resident with the respect and dignity they deserve.”

Their legacy solidified the values for Koelsch Senior Living Communities.
