Spring Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in Tacoma, Washington, and has 75 licensed beds for seniors needing assisted living, memory care, or respite care. The staff is trained to handle both mental health and memory care needs, and nurses help residents with medical needs and daily living activities like bathing and dressing. There's a dedicated activity director who leads programs based on resident interests, with life enrichment options like Montessori-style activities, arts and crafts, social events, group outings, and health and wellness programs, and the monthly calendar always includes something to look forward to, plus one-on-one time gets special attention. The community has private studio, single, and two-bedroom apartments, and some have full kitchens for residents wanting a bit more independence, while cable TV, washers and dryers, and safety features like handrails and a sprinkler system are standard.
The full-time chef works with a dietitian to prepare three homestyle meals a day, and residents can enjoy meals together in communal dining spaces, with special diets accommodated. There's transportation for medical appointments and general trips, as well as support with medications and personalized personal care by assistants, walking and wheelchair help, and regular safety and wellness checks. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance keep things tidy and running well. The property has outdoor walking and hiking areas, a secure memory care garden, a game room, salon and barbershop, fitness center, Wi-Fi, guest parking, and pet therapy programs shown by residents visiting with animals, and pets are allowed. The facility's environment aims for warmth and a sense of family, with staff who actively interact with residents and often communicate with family if a care need or incident arises.
Spring Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care offers a range of assisted living and memory care services, including medication management and long-term care insurance options, and Medicaid is accepted at a rate of about 34%. The award-winning community has been recognized for best activities and senior living care, but a community score of 6.0 reflects only a single review.
