Overview of The Lodge at Eagle Ridge

The Lodge at Eagle Ridge offers four kinds of care in Renton, WA. Independent living is the lightest of them, followed by assisted living and memory care, and respite care is also on hand.

An independent living resident manages the day in private, with community services to call on, and personal care stays their own business. Assisted living brings help with getting dressed, taking medication, and bathing. Memory care addresses a resident’s wandering risk through supervision, and the setting is kept secure.
