All Aboard the Deer Ridge Travel Club!
Each week, our residents pack up their curiosity and sense of adventure for a scenic drive around beautiful Pierce County—and it’s one of their favorite traditions.
From the Tacoma waterfront to the Rainier Valley, and even a picnic in the park, we love giving our residents the chance to explore the world beyond our walls. These outings aren’t just fun—they’re meaningful moments of connection, fresh air, and joy.
Because at Deer Ridge Memory Care, life doesn’t stop with memory loss—it just takes a new route.
