Julian Estates Gracious Retirement Living sits in Puyallup, Washington, and gives seniors a clean, welcoming place to live with plenty of support when it's needed. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home services, along with features of a continuing care retirement community, so folks can get different levels of care as time goes on. There are over 50 floor plans, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments-some with patios or balconies-ranging from cozy studios to larger two-bedroom layouts up to 1,083 square feet. Apartments have kitchenettes, spacious bathrooms, and emergency pull cords that link residents right to the caring live-in management team any time, day or night, plus thermostats for year-round comfort and fire sprinklers for safety.
The place gets a high score of 9.7 thanks to reviews from residents and staff who've said the apartments are clean, tidy, and comfortable, with beautiful common areas and outdoor spaces for relaxing, reading, or visiting with friends and family. There's round-the-clock help with things like medication reminders, bathing, or dressing, and a friendly staff does weekly housekeeping and building maintenance so residents can focus on what they'd rather be doing-whether that's taking a class, joining an art project, or playing games in one of the lounges. The management team lives on site and is always around to give a hand or just check in, and there's a 24-hour in-room communication system for quick help.
Julian Estates covers most needs in the monthly rent, starting at $3,340, including three meals a day cooked by an Executive Chef and Culinary Team, snacks and drinks anytime at the 24/7 bar, local transportation for doctor's appointments or shopping, activities and events, outings to the community, and weekly housekeeping with linen service. There's a fitness center for exercise, salon services for grooming, game and movie rooms, studios for crafts, and devotional services, too. Residents can travel and stay for free at over 70 other U.S. senior living communities through the Hawthorn Resident Travel Program, and family or guests can visit in special suites for up to a week.
People often remark on the good food, the clean spaces, and the helpful, caring staff who look out for everyone but don't get in the way of an independent lifestyle. The community puts a lot of effort into making life easier, with transportation, maintenance, and meals handled, so seniors can enjoy staying active, joining wellness classes, going to group outings, or just spending time in the sun-drenched lounges or courtyards. Safety comes from emergency systems in every apartment, the use of Lively Mobile2 devices through Best Buy Health, and a focus on a well-maintained environment with staff trained to help with both daily tasks and little extras that make life easier.
Julian Estates works for older adults who want a place that's friendly and supportive, but where they can stay active, build friendships, and enjoy a comfortable home. There's always something going on, whether it's a craft, a social, a meal with friends, or a quiet afternoon in a cozy corner.
