About Creekstone
Imagine beginning each day with a freshly prepared meal, friendly faces at the dining table, and the option to step outside onto a sun-warmed terrace as the afternoon light settles over the North Shore mountains. That is the kind of daily life residents experience at Creekstone, a modern senior care community located at 1540 Oxford Street in North Vancouver, BC. Situated in the growing Lower Lynn Creek neighbourhood, Creekstone opened in 2021 and was thoughtfully designed to feel less like a facility and more like a place where people genuinely enjoy living.
Living Options & Care Levels
Creekstone offers both Assisted Living and Long-Term Care, making it a community that can support seniors across a range of care needs. Assisted Living at Creekstone is designed for older adults who value their independence but benefit from having help with daily tasks such as personal care, medication support, and meals. Residents in assisted living enjoy private accommodations and access to the full range of community amenities while receiving the level of assistance that suits their individual needs. Long-Term Care at Creekstone provides a higher level of around-the-clock support, delivered by a dedicated team of nurses and health care professionals who specialize in aging and dementia care. This level of care is well suited to seniors who require consistent medical oversight and hands-on assistance as part of their daily routine. The long-term care program at Creekstone operates under contract with Vancouver Coastal Health as part of British Columbia’s funded health care system, and prospective residents interested in funded long-term care are encouraged to connect directly with Vancouver Coastal Health to begin the access process.
What You'll Love About Living Here
Daily life at Creekstone is shaped by thoughtful details that make each day feel comfortable and full. Mealtimes are a highlight for many residents. A chef leads the kitchen team, and every meal is prepared fresh on-site with the guidance of a registered dietitian to ensure that nutritional needs are met without sacrificing flavour or variety. Three meals are served each day, and snacks are available at any time, so residents never have to wait long if they feel hungry between meals. The private dining room gives residents a more intimate space to share a meal with visiting family or friends, adding a special touch to gatherings and celebrations. The bistro is a natural gathering spot throughout the day, offering a relaxed setting for conversation and connection. For residents who enjoy a little pampering, the on-site spa and hair salon provide a welcome opportunity to feel their best without having to leave the building. The library offers a quiet retreat for reading or reflection, while cultural celebrations woven throughout the year bring the community together in meaningful and joyful ways. The outdoor terrace and patio spaces invite residents to enjoy fresh air and the beauty of the surrounding area at their own pace. Throughout it all, staff are present at all times, offering assistance, companionship, and reassurance whenever it is needed.
