Why we like it

Creekwood is a 62-bed assisted living community in Novato, a quiet residential city in northern Marin County. This smaller community offers a more intimate, neighborhood-scale living environment in one of the Bay Area's most desirable North Bay locations.

  • Strong safety record

    Among the cleaner records in the state: 2 serious and 1 minor citations across 9 state inspections. A record this consistent is one of the clearest signs a home is well-run.

  • Locally owned and operated

    Family-owned single facility, not a chain. Management describes meeting with staff daily and maintaining a daily communication log on resident needs.

  • Mixed-acuity community

    Licensed for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents. Centralized floor plan is designed for close supervision of residents at fall risk.

  • Reputation-driven referrals

    The facility states it receives most new residents through community reputation and returning families — an indicator of sustained satisfaction over time.

  • Confirm memory care availability

    Third-party listings mention dementia and memory care; the facility's own website lists only assisted living. Clarify whether dedicated memory care is offered and how it's staffed.

  • Ask about room privacy

    One reviewer notes 'most' rooms are private — not all. Confirm whether private rooms are available and at what price point.

  • Pricing not publicly verified

    Listed starting price (~$7,000/month) is unverified. Third-party estimates vary widely. Ask for an itemized rate sheet covering care-level add-ons.
