Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment.

The community has 45 beds. That gives families a clear sense of its size without suggesting a particular room arrangement. A Walk Score of 95 places the area in a walker’s paradise, so daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives may still get out independently.

Chef prepared dining means meals are prepared by the community, and scheduled activities and events offer organized ways to spend time on site. Scheduled transportation and outings can help residents attend planned activities away from the community. Salon services, rehabilitation services, and spiritual services are also available.

Christine Ann Swanson serves as administrator, and Stellar Bear Creek operates the community. This may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living or memory care, including a resident whose needs may change over time or a family caregiver seeking a short respite stay.
