Hampton Special Care – Tumwater

Overview of Hampton Special Care – Tumwater

Hampton Special Care Tumwater is a dedicated memory care community in Tumwater, Washington, specializing in care for those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. This 56-bed community has staff specifically trained in memory-related conditions. With an average daily population of 46 residents and an occupancy rate of 82%, the community reflects stable demand in the South Sound region.

With 15 inspections conducted by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, the most recent review on June 5, 2025, found no deficiencies, indicating that previously identified issues have been addressed. In line with this, earlier inspections cited concerns related to infection control practices, fire safety compliance, staff handling of residents during wheelchair mobility, and lapses in investigating abuse allegations. Hence, a civil fine of $300 was issued for repeated infection control violations. However, a more recent follow-up confirmed that the community is now meeting all licensing requirements, suggesting positive improvements. Families who value regulatory compliance are encouraged to take into account the significant improvement of the community’s current compliance standing.

Along with specialized memory care programming as its core service, the community provides medication management. Since the community is licensed through December 2025, families are encouraged to confirm its current licensing status. As a smaller and more specialized setting, it provides a more focused and supportive environment for residents whose primary need is dementia care rather than a wide range of lifestyle amenities.

Hampton Special Care – Tumwater is well-suited for older adults in the Tumwater and Olympia, Washington area who are living with moderate to advanced Alzheimer’s or dementia. Its specialized focus, combined with an improvement on its most recent inspection, makes it an appealing option for those exploring placements in a memory care specialized setting.
