Avamere at Pacific Ridge sits in Tacoma, Washington, and has provided senior living care for 19 years, where you'll find skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services under one roof because the staff works with all sorts of needs, including memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, palliative care, and mental health support for people with cognitive or psychiatric conditions, and when someone needs rehabilitation after a surgery or health event, therapists offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy right there in the on-site gym, which makes therapy sessions easier for residents who need them regularly. There's a certified nursing team on-site 24 hours a day, and a licensed nurse is always in the building, so support's always close by whether someone needs short-term help or full-time supervision, and the team often provides wound care, IV antibiotics, nutrition services, and transitional care, which fits folks recovering from hospital stays or needing help settling back into daily routines. Avamere at Pacific Ridge is a Skilled Nursing Facility with 102 licensed and Medicare-eligible beds, and it participates with Medicaid and Medicare, so people can use those services if needed, and the building itself looks and feels home-like with an inviting atmosphere, plus a secure courtyard for residents.
The staff tries to create a supportive environment with features like regular wellness checks, safety systems in each room, a nurse call system, and help with transportation or telemedicine, and they partner closely with overseeing physicians and families, often sharing updates and education about care for seniors. The facility tailors care to each person, with assessments that help guide which services a resident needs, and as needs change, the care plan can change too, which suits seniors needing memory care, independent living, assisted living, nursing care, post-acute rehabilitation, or short-term respite stays. The mental health and behavioral care team is on-site and specializes in helping seniors with dementia or psychiatric issues feel safe and connected, and with amenities built for seniors, including safety and access features, residents have support for their well-being and daily needs. Avamere at Pacific Ridge operates every day from 9:00 to 17:00, uses English for services, and is run by a staff led by Administrator Jane Stilwell and managed by Mr. Richard Dillon, Governor, as part of the Avamere Living network, and they've built a reputation for compassionate care rather than focusing on perfection. The facility maintains a presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram, where updates and community news are sometimes shared, and the official website is www.avamereatpacificridge.com for more information about its services, which always seem to put connection and residents' well-being first, even if it's not a BBB accredited business.
