Creekside Cottage

Creekside Cottage and Creekside Place are charming assisted living homes dedicated to providing care for residents with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia. Nestled side by side along the Washington Creek in Petaluma, these two elder care homes are designed to offer a compassionate, personal setting rather than a larger institutional atmosphere. Since 2011, they have been fostering a community centered on respect and kindness, supported by the skillful caregiving techniques developed by the Sturgeon family. Each home is licensed for six residents, emphasizing a homelike environment where personalized care and attention can be prioritized. Creekside’s mission focuses on supporting residents through skilled caregiving and promoting a nurturing, respectful community with clear and regular communication between families, primary care physicians, and the caregiving team to enhance residents' wellbeing. Creekside Cottage and Creekside Place provide a secure and peaceful environment with a focus on control and prevention of illnesses. Visiting hours are flexible, though generally recommended between 9:30 am and 4:30 pm. Due to highly contagious illnesses like flu and Covid, there are protocols in place, such as wearing masks and hand sanitizing, to safeguard residents and visitors alike. The homes are dedicated to meeting the mobility needs of residents to ensure safety during visits and outings. Proper devices for mobility, like walkers or wheelchairs, are carefully managed to prevent falls. Respite care visitors are required to pre-schedule outings 24 hours in advance to allow for necessary preparations.
