The Springs at The Waterfront

Imagine starting your morning with sweeping views of the Columbia River, heading to a fitness class before breakfast, and spending the afternoon exploring a local art museum with neighbours who have become close friends. That is the kind of daily life residents enjoy at The Springs at The Waterfront, a senior living community located at 1015 W Columbia Way in Vancouver, Washington. Built on the banks of the Columbia River, this community brings together thoughtful design, outstanding dining, and a genuine commitment to helping older adults live well at every stage of life.

Living Options and Care Levels

The Springs at The Waterfront offers three distinct levels of care, making it possible for residents to find the right fit for their current needs while having options available as those needs evolve over time. Independent Living is designed for older adults who are ready to leave behind the demands of home ownership and housekeeping, and embrace a lifestyle full of social connection, wellness, and personal freedom. Residents in this level of living enjoy a full calendar of activities and amenities while the community team handles the day-to-day tasks that used to take up their time. Assisted Living at The Springs at The Waterfront is built around the individual. Support services are personalized and can be adjusted as a resident’s needs change, helping each person maintain as much independence and confidence as possible while receiving the help they need. The Memory Care program, called Footsteps, is tailored specifically for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The program is built on compassionate, individualized care that honours each resident’s dignity and promotes a sense of well-being through consistent routines, familiar surroundings, and a dedicated care team.
