Affinity at Puyallup sits in the Southhill area of Puyallup, WA, and offers a mix of living options for adults needing different levels of care as their health changes over time, so folks can move from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or even stay in residential care homes right on the same campus, making it easier if things change with health or support needs. The place focuses on people aged 55 and up, with most of its features tailored for those 62 and older, and takes a straightforward approach when it comes to both independent living and support with daily activities, so residents can get help as needed but still do as much for themselves as possible.
The apartments have useful touches like patios or balconies, central air and electric heating, plus regular home appliances-dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, and so on-with in-unit laundry and all the utilities included, including electricity, water, sewer, garbage, internet, cable, and wi-fi, so monthly bills are more predictable. Covered parking and a detached garage are there too, and the place is pet-friendly, so cats, small dogs, or big dogs are all welcome-which the dog park and pet wash spa help with. The community makes a point of offering a secure environment, accessible bathrooms, and several options for getting around with elevators and disabled access.
Affinity at Puyallup keeps things pretty peaceful and private while still encouraging plenty of social activities, with lots of group events, outings, and regular activities like game nights, and there's a real focus on supporting friendships and getting folks out and about in shared spaces like the library, craft studio, workshop, game room, internet café, and even a billiards room. There's a fitness center, a big indoor saltwater pool, a hot tub right next to it, and a spa you can use all year, plus outdoor spaces like gardens and a BBQ deck for people who like the fresh air. Meals get good reviews for being nutritious and made with decent ingredients, and common areas look and feel comfortable, with a lounge, movie theater, and plenty of relaxation spots.
The place has earned awards for its sense of community and caring staff, and folks describe the staff as friendly and available, with good training for both simple independence and more advanced dementia care if that's needed. Maintenance is handled online, there's an onsite manager, an elevator, security looking out for things, and rent includes access to all the amenities, so there's less to keep track of. Affinity at Puyallup supports a simple, maintenance-free lifestyle in a spot that makes it easy to stay connected, active, and safe as needs change.
