Respite Care

Respite care is designed for those caring for aging loved ones who may be going on vacation or who may simply need a temporary respite from caregiving.

 

Not only do respite stays prevent exhaustion and caregiver burnout for caregivers, but it also has many benefits for older adults, including stimulation and a change of routine. Respite stays are also an option for anyone who could benefit from more recovery time after surgery or other medical procedures.

The Creekside Difference.

Creekside Continuing Care Community offers a continuum of senior lifestyles, without a high buy-in or entrance fee. But that’s not all that sets our community apart. 

Our senior living community offers the best of all worlds: a quiet Burlington, Washington, neighborhood, with proximity to downtown shops, restaurants, and recreational, cultural and educational opportunities, and a comforting feeling of home with dedicated support, engaging programs, and robust social calendars that invigorate and stimulate. 

It’s all part of The Difference Between Living and Living Well.
