Where Do I Start?

Small community, managed extremely well

I researched every facility within driving distance for my father in law and chose River Terrace. It is a small community, managed extremely well, the staff is loving and kind, safety of the residents is paramount, the food is great, activities are available, and it feels like home for someone needing this level of care.

Mom is in a wonderful Caring Place

Our sweet mom Alma is a resident at South Beach Manor Memory Care.  I’d like to share with you how happy Mom is and how engaged she is here. Your caring staff is wonderful and we’re so grateful. Cori is absolutely the machine that keeps everything running smoothly! Cori has many activities that Mom enjoys and it seems the other residents do too! We love seeing the fun pics on Facebook, especially for our family members who live out of the area. We love Cori and appreciate all the thoughtful, loving care she provides. She is a treasure and we are so blessed! Please share with the SBM staff how grateful our family is to have Mom in a wonderful Caring Place. (See what I did there?)

Compassionate and Professional Care!

I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the management and staff at Artesian Place for their professionalism and compassion at this assisted living facility in Olympia. A special thank you to Valerie Macpherson (Administrator) and Angie Pitts (Resident Care Coordinator) for facilitating and expediting the placement of my neighbor after her discharge from multiple rehabilitation facilities. I’m especially grateful to a neighbor and former resident of Artesian Place who highly recommended the facility. It made my decision very easy.

Activities To Keep You Feeling Young

Delicious Food

We know how important tasty food is to our residents. That’s why our dietary teams work hard to create delicious meals that meet individual dietary needs and preferences.

Musical Memory Therapy

Memories of music are among the last to fade for individuals living with dementia. Music lifts spirits and eases anxiety. It boosts mood, inspires movement, and creates moments of profound joy.

Health and Wellness

Staying active is key to healthy, happy aging. Our programs keep residents moving, socially engaged, and mentally sharp—enhancing their health, happiness, and overall quality of life.

Life Skills Stations

We all love a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Our life skills stations provide opportunities to do familiar tasks that provide emotional comfort and meaningful engagement.

Active Social Life

Socializing keeps brains happy and healthy. We encourage residents to connect, join activities, make friends, and embrace the joy of belonging to a community.

Off-Site Excursions

Regularly scheduled outings keeps residents connected to the community, offering trips to the library, lunch outings, scenic drives, errands, and appointments. These excursions are just one of the many ways we encourage an active, engaged lifestyle.

Hiring Compassionate, Caring Employees

Caring Places is a family-owned, family-operated community rooted in kindness, connection, and care. If you’re compassionate, love building relationships, and find joy in working with the elderly, you’ll fit right in.

Here, thoughtful care goes beyond meeting needs—it’s about sharing smiles, offering comfort, and honoring every resident with dignity. You won’t just make a difference; you’ll help create a true sense of home.

At Caring Places, service, collaboration, and support are at the core of how we care, every day.

Common Questions

What is the difference between Assisted Living and Memory Care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for individuals with memory impairments, offering enhanced security, structured routines, and dementia-trained staff.

Unlike assisted living, memory care units lack kitchens, feature secure layouts to prevent wandering, and use calming design elements. Activities follow a structured schedule to reduce anxiety, while meals remain restaurant-style with choices. Staff receive additional dementia-specific training, and due to higher supervision and specialized care, memory care costs more than assisted living.

What is the difference between Assisted Living and Independent Living?

Assisted living provides housing with personal care services like bathing, medication management, and emergency response, ideal for those needing daily support but not nursing home care.

Independent living offers a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities for seniors who need little to no assistance. Personal care services are not included but can be arranged privately.

Is there a personal emergency response system at your care communities?

Our residents’ health and safety is our primary concern – we have an emergency call system in every apartment in every community we manage with 24-hour awake personal care staff and trained healthcare professionals on-call 24 hours a day.

Do you accept government financial assistance programs?

Yes. Many of our communities accept Medicaid. For more specific information regarding government assistance programs please contact the community administrator.
