Cristwood Community

Connect at Cristwood

Set on a beautiful 55-acre campus just north of Seattle in the bedroom community of Shoreline, Cristwood is a Christian Life Plan Community and home to seniors living independently, seniors who need additional assistance with daily living, or seniors who need memory care living.

A Multi-Generational Senior Living Community

Among the many unique elements of our Cristwood campus is the vibrancy of multigenerational living, as the community is located on the CRISTA Ministries campus that also houses King's Schools (Preschool-12th grade). Multigenerational living is an increasingly popular concept that allows older and younger generations to teach and learn from one another through meaningful and regular interactions. When someone moves to the Cristwood community, a fulfilling new chapter of their life begins, one that can be enriched considerably by the wisdom of youth. According to Cheri Burcham of the University of Illinois Extension, “Older adults can also benefit from their interactions with youth. They too can learn new skills, like technology, and often feel rejuvenated and energized after spending time with young ones. The more time spent with each other can also bring greater understanding and appreciation of each generation—their beliefs, values, and behaviors.” In addition to King's Schools, the campus is also home to the CRISTA Ministries headquarters, World Concern, KCIS RADIO, and SPIRIT 105.3 FM.

Off-Campus Independent Living in Shoreline

The bustling campus is just one of the many benefits of choosing CRISTA's Cristwood community. Scenic Shoreline, WA is a short distance from downtown Seattle and home to cultural diversity and engaging activities, the arts, and the chance to tee off at the Nile Golf Course; you will be pleasantly surprised with what retirement looks like here. The amenities and floor plans at Cristwood are created with you in mind. Welcome to Cristwood!
