Bonaventure of Puyallup delivers three levels of residential support—Independent Living for residents who want a maintenance-free lifestyle, Assisted Living for those who require help with daily activities, and a secured Memory Care program designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are available, giving family caregivers a break or allowing prospective residents to experience the community before making a long-term decision. Staff members are trained to recognize and respond to the needs of residents managing diabetes, and care plans are adjusted as conditions change.
The community maintains an array of on-site medical and wellness services intended to keep residents in familiar surroundings as their care requirements evolve. These services include medication management, high-acuity and non-ambulatory care, hospice coordination, ambulatory assistance, and incontinence support. Specialized programs address cognitive health through a secured environment designed for memory loss, pet-focused therapy opportunities, and activities that emphasize brain fitness. Massage therapy is offered for comfort and circulation, and the team can coordinate care for residents who arrive with their own pets. Respite and short-term stays receive the same access to these services as long-term residents.
Apartments and shared spaces are built for accessibility and choice. Floor plans may feature kitchenettes or full kitchens, private patios, decks, or balconies, and ground-floor options for easy entry. Wheelchair-accessible showers, grab bars, and other adaptive features are available in select units, while common areas include indoor lounges with fireplaces, a billiards space, computer center, library, and multiple outdoor sitting areas. Air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and both covered and uncovered resident parking are offered in many—but not all—accommodations, so prospective residents should confirm specific features during a tour. Cats are allowed, and it is advisable to verify current pet policies directly with the community.
Daily dining covers three scheduled meals, but residents can also opt for all-day or anytime dining. Menus are planned by a professional chef and range from traditional favorites to international selections, with accommodations for vegetarian choices, low-sodium dishes, no-sugar options, and pureed meals. Restaurant-style service is standard, though room service is available when preferred or medically necessary. A bistro, bar, and private dining room support casual snacks, social gatherings, and family celebrations, while seasonal barbecues or picnics add variety.
Residents have access to an activity center, fitness programs that include yoga, chair yoga, Tai Chi, and Forever Fit classes, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths. Scheduled events span day trips, social outings, gardening in raised beds, art and cooking classes, trivia nights, live music, movie screenings, dance parties, and intergenerational programs. Clubs cover books, cards, quilting, community service, current events, and men’s interests. Live Well and reminiscence programs support cognitive engagement, while a dedicated game room and library & computer lounge provide additional options for leisure. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
