Overview of The Rivers at Puyallup

The Rivers at Puyallup provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Puyallup, WA. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care provides a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time.

The community has 120 beds, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes. A studio offers one private space, while a two-bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Medicaid is accepted, giving families another payment option when personal savings may not cover a long stay. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to bring a pet with them, and a Walk Score of 93 places the area in the walker’s paradise band, where daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
