Holiday Peninsula

What does a typical day look like at Holiday Peninsula? At this independent living community at 3445 50th Street Court NW in Gig Harbor, residents rent a private apartment and hand off the cooking, cleaning and upkeep. Holiday by Atria operates it. Independent living is the only level of care offered, so residents need to manage their own personal care.

The monthly rent covers the apartment, chef-prepared meals 3 times a day, housekeeping and linen laundering, scheduled local transportation, building and grounds maintenance, basic utilities and a calendar of social events. Meal times are set by the community, so ask for the dining schedule. Care and medication management are not included, and phone, cable or internet may be extra.

The building has been updated throughout. A private dining room with a hutch and long table can be reserved for family celebrations, with catering available. Exercise gear such as resistance bands and medicine balls supports fitness classes. Residents join as many or as few events as they like.

Ask how outside home care works if needs change, and who manages the community today. Asking for a copy of the current activity calendar also shows how busy a typical week is. A virtual tour gives a first look. Use the Request Information form on this page for rates and floor plans, and compare other options for senior living in Gig Harbor before deciding.
