Spring Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care in Tacoma, WA

We are very happy with Spring Ridge. Our Mom is in the memory care facility and she has settled in well! The facility is very nice, clean and the residents are well taken care of.

Life Manor-Golden Opportunity in Tacoma, WA
4.7

We were looking for a community where our loved one would not feel like they were a dependent senior and Life Manor really makes it that way. He feels like he is just a senior living in a community. He can do what he chooses to do but if he doesn't feel like he wants to participate that is fine as well and he can do what he wants to do instead. He feels like an independent senior with at a community that offers him things to do. The community is very nice inside and the main landscaping really nice. The rooms are really nice and spacious and have great windows. When we were looking for communities this was the first and only one we looked at. They just hit the nail on the head with all they offer. We would absolutely recommend it.

Affinity at Lacey

I have always found the staff friendly, helpful and polite. Food is not provided on a regular basis, you are responsible for your own meals. The apartment size is comfortable and the amenities are great! I'm a little old fashioned, and the cost may seem a bit high, but you pay for what you get and I wouldn't change it. It is a very lovely facility and I have recommended it to several already and will continue to recommend to others.
