About Creekside Continuing Care Community
Creekside Continuing Care Community offers a full continuum of care — from independent living cottages to assisted living and memory care — all on one beautifully landscaped campus near the Skagit River in Burlington, Washington. The community is designed so that residents never need to move as their needs change, and couples with different care requirements can remain together. Owned and operated by Cascade Living Group, Creekside has earned strong ratings across multiple review platforms for its warm staff and engaging lifestyle programming.
Our Care Approach
Creekside operates as a continuing care retirement community, meaning care is provided across the full continuum on one campus — from independent living through assisted living and dedicated memory care. The memory care neighborhood includes additional security and specialized caregivers, and on-site nurses, physical therapists, and other therapeutic professionals are available around the clock.
Family Experience
Families describe the transition to Creekside as well-supported, with staff who take time to learn residents' names and personal preferences from the start. Those exploring options for a loved one with higher care needs may want to ask specific questions about staffing levels and how care escalations are handled day-to-day.

My parents in their 90's recently moved to Creekside. From the first tour of the facility and through the registration process the staff has been helpful, informative and friendly. Mom and Dad have lived independently in their own home until very recently, and moving to an apartment community is a big change late in life. The staff has been very welcoming and supportive through this transition. Services, activities and food options are all good, and there is also a full compact kitchen in the apartment. The apartment and common areas are clean and well kept, and there is weekly housekeeping service for the apartment. Cost is competitive with other comparable facilities in the area.
