Description
About This Community
Two Picture-Perfect Locations. Both locations offer a Christian Life Plan Community. Cristwood is set on a beautiful 55-acre campus just north of Seattle and is home to seniors living independently, who need additional assistance with daily living, or who need memory care. Crista Shores is located on the shores of Dyes Inlet in Silverdale, which offers waterfront views where community and lifestyle blend with ease. The independent living apartments face the water. With both independent living and assisted living options and a variety of floor plans, Crista Shores is a breathtaking community where retirement living affords relaxation, exploration, and curiosity.

The facilities were great and consistent. What is most impressive is the care from the staff. Our mother fell, broke her hip, and was in the hospital for 3 weeks. She ran out of money, received help from the Good Samaritan Fund, and was welcomed back to Crista after being turned down by her insurance to go to a Rehab facility. When she left Crista, she was at the lowest level of care. When she returned, she was at the highest level of care! Crista took her back despite the difference and she went back on to Hospice. Both Crista and Hospice have worked together to give her the best care we could imagine. We are thoroughly impressed with their caring spirit and consistent direct care. Thank you to the Head Nurse, Tirunesh, Grace, and many others who serve the residence for allowing her to come back in and for the gracious gift of the Good Samaritan Fund to allow her to stay. She is likely days away from transitioning to her next life, but we are grateful children. Thank You Staff!

The rooms were nice and the amenities were nice. I am disappointed with the care my grandmother received during this pandemic while she was on hospice. I witnessed a nurse care for my grandmother without her mask on, which put myself, family and other residents at risk. I recommend the facility ensure all employees understand and follow COVID protocols to minimize the risk to residents and family members visiting residents on hospice.

Wonderful place! Caring and competent staff who go out of their way to make my father feel comfortable and welcome and safe. From chatting informally to checking medicines to providing activities and day trips to checking in with me about his needs, the Courtyard staff has been fabulous. Dad is very happy there, and we could not have made it through a difficult time without their kindness and support. He had a choice to move in with a family member, but he wanted to stay at Cristwood. He loves the community of people, and he especially enjoys the dining room and the meal selections.

Absolutely horrendous care for my grandmother. We had family members around the clock to stay with her because it was necessary to ensure they properly cared for her. We made them aware of bed sores that were forming and they did nothing about it themselves. They wouldn't listen to us, they just dismissed our concerns and my grandmother developed a weeping sore that was painful and infected. One night a nurse tried to give her medication while I was keeping watch and I did not recognize the pills so I asked her to double check that they were the correct ones. The nurse told me not to question her ability to the job and insisted she knew what she was doing. I asked her the name of the medication and when she told me, I told her that's not my grandmothers. She got snotty with me and again said she knew what she was doing and that I wasn't a nurse. Thing is, I spent multiple years caring for my grandmother in her home. I know her meds. After insisting that my grandmother would not be taking the meds the nurse was trying to administer, the nurse finally gave in and double checked only to find that they were NOT my grandmother's.
If I wasn't there, my grandmother could have died from taking another patient's medication.
On top of this, my grandma was rightfully scared of being picked up and moved around by strangers while recovering from her bed wound. She was lifted without compassion or consideration and jostled around regularly as if she was an inanimate object being loaded onto a freight palette.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR FAMILY ALONE AT CRISTA SENIOR LIVING.

The Courtyard at CRISTA was a much bigger place than other facilties. It's part of a campus that has a rehabilitation center, a school, and a variety of other things. It's part of a ministry. They had several buildings and the assisted living place was pretty good. It seemed more institutional, and a little less comfortable, and social, which I think is partly because it's a much older facility. They have all the standard things like meeting places, a TV room, a game room, and a very large chapel -- because it's a Christian-run organization -- but they sometimes use it as a multipurpose room. It's very hard to find parking there.

CRISTA Senior Living is right across from CRISTA Ministries. The general appearance was fine, but I was not impressed with the way the staff interacted with the residents or the residents' families. The dining area looked fine. There were people walking around. They had a fundraiser going on in the parking lot where they had food and stuff, and people were milling around and enjoying that. The bureaucracy of the paperwork needs to be streamlined. The staff needs to be better informed about where the residents are and why they are where they are.

Crista Senior Living seemed reasonable and decent. The staff was helpful. The place was secured enough for the residents and the visitors.

My mother-in-law settled in Crista. She lived there for 15 years, and she just moved across the street because she needs more care. It is very nice place. It is a Christian organization. They have lots of activities. They have good food. The care goes from totally independent to all the way to the end if needed.
I have been there many times. They have sing-a-longs, bingo, and luxurious trips. They take them places. They take them to church and to shopping. I have eaten there many times, and they have very good food.

I haven't moved in yet, but I have found Crista in Shoreline. It is an independent living, then it goes to assisted living, and then to goes to medical care. It is a long term kind of commitment. I haven't moved in there yet, but the people that I talked to say it is a wonderful place to live. It is convenient to my family, it is reasonably priced, and I think I will be happy there. I spent the night there, and they put me in a two bedroom which is too much for me. I needed a one-bedroom. I guess I could use another room for an office and for my computer, but other than that, a one bedroom is ample. I live in an apartment anyway, so it is just like going to another apartment. They gave me a handout with the monthly events for the whole month of February for instance. They have all the activities for the whole month. I'm going to be very busy. Crista is a Christian owned group, and it is non-profit.

CRISTA Senior Living offers different levels of care from independent to skilled nursing. Their staff is caring. Their food is not fancy, but it's nutritious and served by many caring staff. The rooms are of varied sizes, and it's an older building. They are very clean, and it never smelled like anything. They offer a lot of activities. They encourage residents to participate. They also have transportation that takes the residents to the drugstores or to places.
