Overview of Hearthside Manor Memory Care

Facebook

Hearthside Manor Memory Care provides memory care and respite care in University Place, WA. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for a resident living with dementia who may be at risk of wandering. Respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs time to travel, recover, or manage other responsibilities. These services may suit a person with dementia whose caregiver needs temporary support without arranging a long-term move.

Hearthside Manor Memory Care has 36 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents may get to know one another. Medicaid is accepted, which may help a family whose savings may not cover a long stay. A Walk Score of 76 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently.
