Creekstone Care Centre

At Creekstone Care Centre, the philosophy is simple: aging well means living joyfully. Located at 1526 Oxford Street in North Vancouver, BC, this modern care home opened in April 2021 and was designed from the ground up to support seniors in a warm, community-focused environment where care, connection, and celebration are part of everyday life.

Living Options & Care Levels

If you are exploring care options for a parent or loved one, understanding what each level of care actually looks like day to day can make a big difference in your decision. Creekstone Care Centre offers both Assisted Living and Long-Term Care, which means the home is equipped to support a range of needs, from seniors who need some help with daily routines to those who require more consistent, hands-on care around the clock. For families navigating long-term care in British Columbia, it is worth knowing that Creekstone operates as a contracted provider with Vancouver Coastal Health and is part of BC’s publicly funded healthcare system. This means that access to long-term care at Creekstone is arranged through Vancouver Coastal Health directly. The home is currently fully contracted for funded services and does not offer private pay long-term care at this time. If your family is beginning that process, reaching out to Vancouver Coastal Health is the right first step. What you can count on is that once a resident is settled at Creekstone, they are supported by a full team of nurses, health care aides, and clinical specialists available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Creekstone was designed to feel like a real home, not an institution. The building is organized into neighbourhoods, each with its own dining area, TV lounge, library, and bathing spa. Residents have access to a bistro where they can gather informally, and a hair salon on site means that personal care and grooming are always within easy reach. For those who love spending time outdoors, upper floor patios offer a peaceful spot to take in the natural surroundings and enjoy the evening light. Every bedroom is fully private with an ensuite washroom, giving residents their own personal space to make their own. Residents are encouraged to bring photographs, books, and personal items to make their room feel familiar and comfortable. Dining is a highlight of daily life at Creekstone.

Three meals are served each day, and snacks are available at any time, so residents never have to wait if they are hungry. Special celebrations, cultural events, and birthdays are marked with food and festivity, keeping the rhythm of meaningful traditions alive. The private dining room within each neighbourhood allows residents to share meals with guests in a relaxed, familiar setting. Parking is available on site, which makes visits from family and friends easy and convenient.
