Advanced Security For Senior Living
Our Senior Living communities combine advanced safety systems with a well-trained staff, to give memory care residents, and their family members, peace of mind.
Motion Sensors
If there is movement at any hour, our 24/7 staff is alerted. This alert allows us to maintain a resident’s privacy while also caring for them quickly whenever needed.
Pull Cord
Throughout the community are lengthy pull cords that can be reached while standing or sitting to alert caregivers to a resident’s exact location and notify our staff.
Window Sensor
Security is paramount. Window sensors are a great way to notify our staff around the clock of any changes. Once again, these notifications are tied into our call center to ensure a quick response.

Family owned and operated Senior Living for over 60 years.
We are proud of the legacy we call family.

Deer Ridge
We explore beautiful Puyallup for exciting things to do and see. We might have lunch at The Rock Wood-fired Pizza on a Monday to share a pie or visit 3rd Street Antiques to rummage for treasures every other Thursday. There is always something fun to see at the Washington State Fair, just a short distance from Deer Ridge.
