The Burlington, WA region has numerous attractions for residents and visitors. The community is centrally located near Deception Pass, the Cascade Mountains, and the Tulip Fields. The annual Tulip Festival takes place every year, and the region is known for tasty, flavor-filled, locally grown berries.
Whether your senior loved one requires some help with the activities of daily living (ADLs) or is living with the effects of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, our dedicated staff takes great pride in delivering high-quality care that is compassionate, safe, and resident-centered. Our services are designed to meet our residents’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our skilled staff includes a Medical Director, Health Services Director, Executive Director who is licensed as an Infection Preventionist, and an LPN. Each resident is assessed to formulate a specialized care plan based on their needs, and we strive to use activities to manage behavior and avoid psychotropic medications. Additionally, we create ways for residents to be successful. Our community is a certified Monarch butterfly habitat with vibrant gardens that offer residents the chance to explore ways to nurture and become immersed in creativity. With compassionate and experienced staff members, we are committed to providing the highest level of care.
