The Artful Lodger is a senior living community at 515 5th Street SW #A in Puyallup, Washington, and it offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, board and care homes, and memory care options, so people can find the right fit as needs change. There are smaller residential care homes like BRIAN ROBERSON AFH, Boys Next Door Adult Family Home, Better Place AFH #2, Assurecare Adult Home, Amani Hill Adult Family Home, Able Care Adult Family Home, and AAA Amazing Grace, and each of these board and care homes serves between five and six residents at a time, which means care stays personal and community feels more like home. The community lets residents age in place with assisted living and high acuity care, and has staff on-site all day and night, handling everything from personal help with bathing and dressing, to medication management, diabetic and incontinence care, and regular doctor visits.
There's a secured memory care wing for people with Alzheimer's or other memory-related conditions, and this part of The Artful Lodger gives 24-hour support, wandering prevention, memory-focused activities, and a calm environment that aims to cut down on confusion. The property is pet-friendly for cats, and people can smoke outdoors, so folks have some say over their living style, and every room has access to private or shared baths, wheelchair accessible showers, and maintenance-free apartment setups. Meals are provided, with options for kosher and vegetarian diets, and there's a beautician on-site for grooming needs. Housekeeping, laundry, and transportation help are also available, and parking's there for those who drive.
There are indoor and outdoor common spaces, places for games and movies, a fitness and wellness center, and regular group outings, so people can stay as busy as they like. Devotional activities happen for those who want them. The community lets people take part in activities both on-site and away from the property. Respite care is offered for people needing short-term help. Staff at The Artful Lodger speak English and aim for care that fits each person's needs, with all levels of support from helping with daily living tasks to full nursing and rehabilitation services, so older adults can remain as independent as possible for as long as possible in a homelike setting.
