"We toured Cogir at the Narrows. This is a beautiful facility and everything that they offer. This is one of the places where we'll probably choose to put my brother. We were very impressed with everything from the inside to the outside grounds, the room, and what they offer to everyone who works. It's a very impressive site. The gal who gave us the tour was wonderful. Her name was Caitlin. She reached out to us after that and even offered us, baseball tickets to a game because we told her my brother likes baseball. She's been quite wonderful, gave us a great tour, and gave us a lot of information. We were able to ask her a lot of questions. It was very impressive."

"Everybody at Olympic was very polite and personable. The rooms were all shared and clean. The food was pretty decent, and the dining area was clean. They keep a full staff on at all times and have a lot of staff per patient who seemed to care, so I really liked it. They seemed to be able to keep the residents busy with puzzles and reading, and trip services, too. This is where we ended up placing my husband’s mom. They can improve by bathing the residents more often. Their security is good and locked. "

"GenCare LifeStyle at Point Ruston was a beautiful facility. They're beautiful there. It's a nice facility. It's a brand-new facility. They've got a swimming pool. They've got all kinds of things. They've got activities on a daily basis, and they're a wide range of activities. They were just getting started with doing outings when I was there. They got events in the facility itself, and then also out in the community. The staff seemed very nice, very friendly, and very welcoming. The apartments seem standard from all the different places I've seen. They were very nice."

"Spring Ridge has a very nice environment, very clean, very organized, and the caregivers are very attentive. The food is good, and there is a variety of food. They have mind games, puzzles, drawing, and stuff like that -- a very good variety. The rooms are all very nice. It is a new building for the memory care and they have remodeled it; it's very clean and very nice. But I guess they should have more caregivers. "

"I toured Aspire Care Adult Family Home. I like the idea that there's a person there to resolve issues as opposed to a waiting list. They have a good ratio. It's a family neighborhood. It's not a huge building. It's just a single-family home. They have wheelchair-size doorways that can handle wheelchairs and wheelchair-accessible showers. I looked at their menu. It seemed OK."

"While I did not enjoy the prospect of having a family member living in a nursing home, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of devotion the staff had. In many places, it seems like the staff is moderately apathetic-this facility however had workers who seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. The staff was happy to answer any questions I had.While the facility was not the most advanced, and did not have the amenities of some more expensive nursing homes, it did have excellent staff and better than average available activities for residents. The facility was clean and orderly, while still seeming somewhat at ease. While my family member did not seem very enthusiastic about the prospect of living there, after a month they greatly enjoyed it. Having friendly staff on hand seemed to make them feel more like they were with family, not people being paid to help out. I would choose this facility for myself if I ever found myself in a position where I needed to go into assisted living. "

"I've visited Fieldstone Memory Puyallup a couple of times, it's beautiful. It's all memory care so it's not all like something squished into a wing of some other kind of place. It's a beautiful area and it's nice. That's part of what we liked about it because some of the other memory care places were just like a wing of their assisted living or whatever. So this is just a total of two floors of memory care. I visited a couple of places, and this was nice. There are lots of amenities and plenty of staff 24/7, and they have lots of high-tech equipment. They have, not like a camera in the apartment, but it's an infrared thing, so they can tell at night if someone isn't in bed, or if they fall or something. So if they're not where the bed is, that can alert them. Plus there are people there all the time right outside on the floor. The staff that I've met are very nice."

"Brookdale Puyallup South was an older place, but it was well-kept. Everything was clean. The place itself looked like they took good care of it. It looked like they had a few things they were doing with the patients when we walked through. It's kind of a different feeling than assisted living because they don't have the capabilities of doing the stuff that people who live in assisted living can do. All the staff members that we met were very friendly and seemed to care about the people. They were all very nice."

In University Place, memory care residents expect to pay approximately $6,006 per month.

Because Washington officially recognizes memory care communities in University Place and the rest of the state as assisted living facilities, it requires them to obtain annual licensure through the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Aging and Long-Term Support Administration. This governing body sets minimum standards for care planning, housing and staffing, as well as dementia-specific services.
University Place Memory Care Communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all Memory Care Facilities in Washington are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Washington page for more information about these laws.
