Creekside Continuing Care Community

Reviewer#JM082824a

My mom will be moving into the Creekside Continuing Care Community. It's a lovely facility. The staff members are wonderful, kind, and helpful. They honestly seem to care about their residents. All the residents looked happy. The staff knew all their names. They would say hi and then ask a question about some personal details with that person, so it was clear that they knew them well, and I liked that. The inside is clean. They've been responsive to requests. It needs some painting on the outside. The landscaping is lovely. They have a library and a theater. One of the things that I like is that they have exercise classes on-site twice a day, every day. They do activities and stuff. The only thing I don't like about it is that they have a long hall.

My brother moved to Creekside Continuing Care Community. The reason we chose it was because of proximity. The staff is great. The rooms are clean. They really address maintenance issues in a timely manner. I like the staff because of their professionalism, help, knowledge, ease of contact, and concern. They have activities and it's easy to access, proximity to a town, and it has big windows outdoors, very outdoorsy. I think there's also attention to nutrition and calories and they're very concerned about quality and health issues, good portions. There's a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and that was a positive. They have activities that they do at home, like music, movies, games, and get-togethers. They've got a good library. The only thing I'd like to complain about is their exercise room. They probably need a more extensive exercise room. I think everything's expensive, but for what they're providing I think their base rate is good for the food. I could say it's very good. The only thing I would recommend a little more thoroughly is just more outdoor space for the residents, perhaps an enclosed park-like environment, much more grass and trees.

I toured the independent living of Creekside Continuing Care Community. They have all three levels there. It's a beautiful facility. It has a lot of gardens, and it has three courtyards. The neighborhood is top-rated. My mom and I both love that neighborhood. It's a place to walk your dog, your pet, or whatever, and they have a pet play area. However, the rooms were just too small. The staff who gave me the tour was very good. They have a beautiful dining room. They have a private dining room, too, for the family members when they come over. It's a newer place. They use high-quality windows, I noticed, and some of the other things were just nice. It's the only place that offers cottages, which was pretty cool for some people. They have a garage attached to the unit. It looked like a duplex with two garages.

The top of our list is Creekside. I really like it. I like that they have two different dining areas, e.g., a regular dining hall and a bistro. You can go to either one. This gives you two different dining options. They have five courtyards too. Most of the rooms look into a courtyard. They have balconies and there is good light in the rooms. I really like that. Each hallway is decorated in a different theme and I didn't see that anywhere else. I thought that was cool because otherwise they all look the same. They have themed hallways, which I thought was really great. The hallways weren't drab. They had a calendar of activities. I really liked the community. The staff who helped me was very good.

Skagit formerly Creekside was too big, and I did not like it. The buildings were very large and confusing, the floor plan was difficult, and some of the rooms were very small. My mom couldn’t find her way back to her room as she tried; I couldn’t find my way around either. The staff was nice, and they also have games and movie nights.

I had gone to The Creekside. It was very well put together. Their director or tour person was very professional, very informative, and her follow-up was very good. We would be there right now if it wasn’t for the price. Once, again, it came down to the expense. However, because of where it was location and how well taken care of it is, I would say that it was definitely worth what the other place was asking for. They had extras that the other facilities that we looked at did not have. They had an actual Alzheimer’s unit and locked up areas for Alzheimer’s patients. They were a retirement community, but they also had assisted and memory care. They had everything.
