Cristwood
Cristwood is a continuing care retirement community in the Hillwood neighborhood of Shoreline, Washington, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with bathing, dressing, medication, and similar tasks. Memory care offers a secured, supervised setting for someone at risk of wandering, and respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Having several care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. Room choices include studios, one bedroom units, and two bedroom units, so a resident can choose one private space, separate bedroom and living areas, or a larger layout for a couple moving together. On site, residents can use the restaurant and cafe, spend time in the courtyard, garden, or patio, and access rehabilitation services.
Cristwood opened in 1984. The area has a Walk Score of 42, making it car dependent, with most errands requiring a car or a ride. Community transportation is available for residents who need an alternative to driving themselves.
