Overview of Pioneer Place Alzheimer Residence of Tacoma
Pioneer Place Alzheimer Residence of Tacoma is a locally owned, Christian memory care community in Tacoma, Washington, that specializes in long-term care for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory-related conditions. This 60-bed community was established in 1995 and recognized as one of the first purpose-built dementia care communities in Pierce County, representing nearly three decades of dedicated experience. The community is one of the most consistently compliant options in the state, along with a secured perimeter and a deficiency-free rating since 2015.
The DSHS inspection record highlights this exceptional standing, with the most recent review on November 4, 2024, finding no deficiencies and confirming full compliance with licensing requirements. While an earlier fire safety inspection in April 2023 noted documentation issues regarding fire hydrant clearance, fire alarm panel access, and drill records, these were all confirmed to be corrected in subsequent follow-ups. Additionally, there were no complaint investigations listed in the current reports. A combination of a clean 2024 result and a decade-long streak of deficiency-free ratings creates one of the strongest compliance profiles in the Washington memory care market.
The community focuses on individualized care and transparent family communication as core priorities, providing a secure environment specifically designed for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia-related wandering risks. The current occupancy rate is 57%, which is below the state average, suggesting that availability for interested families is more favorable compared to many other local options.
Pioneer Place Alzheimer Residence of Tacoma is best suited for families in Tacoma and Pierce County seeking a long-established, faith-oriented memory care community with an outstanding compliance history. The community’s Christian values foundation and a top-tier regulatory record make it one of the most credible memory care options in the South Sound region.
The Courtyard at Colfax is an assisted living community in Colfax, Washington, offering assisted living care, including standard and enhanced care options. This 55-bed community also provides 24-hour staffing and nursing coordination to older adults in Whitman County. With an occupancy rate of 84 percent and an average daily population of 46 residents, the community operates at a stable capacity for a rural setting, indicating consistent local demand.
The community’s compliance history with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services includes six inspections and reflects an overall pattern of improvement. The most recent inspection on November 12, 2025, identified no violations and confirmed that earlier fire safety concerns had been fully resolved. Additionally, previous inspections, particularly in December 2024, cited several fire safety issues related to storage clearance, fire drill documentation, electrical safety, door functionality, and maintenance of suppression systems. A confirmed complaint investigation in early 2024 also found shortcomings in staff monitoring and policies regarding bedrail use, which contributed to a resident’s death and resulted in a civil fine. Follow-up reviews verified that both care-related and safety issues were addressed.
Along with a home-like environment, meal service with home-style cooking and accommodations for special dietary needs are provided. Its tiered care structure also allows families to select the level of support that best matches a resident’s current needs, with the flexibility to adjust as those needs change.
The Courtyard at Colfax is well-suited for older adults in Colfax, Washington, and the broader Whitman County area seeking assisted living support in a smaller, locally oriented setting close to family. Those who value personalized care, a community atmosphere, and a recent strong inspection outcome may find it a compelling option.
Overview of Apple Springs Retirement and Assisted Living Residence
Apple Springs Retirement and Assisted Living Residence is a senior living community in Omak, Washington, providing retirement and assisted living services. Serving Okanogan County, this 60-bed community maintains a stable 83% occupancy rate, which compares favorably to the Washington state average of 72.5%.
The DSHS inspection records across six visits present a compliance history that warrants a review, with the latest inspection on July 28, 2025, identifying 2 deficiencies. Although this is significantly lower than the state average of 31, the report cited a substantiated complaint involving a failure to report suspected sexual abuse and missing documentation regarding a resident’s history of inappropriate behaviors. Past inspections also mentioned intermittent concerns with fire alarm and sprinkler system upkeep, resident rights, and service fee records. Notably, previous issues involving food safety and nurse delegation consent were confirmed as corrected by August 2024.
Along with eight confirmed amenities, including private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate control, and restaurant-style dining with three chef-prepared meals served every day, an on-site beauty salon, a library, high-speed internet, and landscaped outdoor grounds are also offered. Life at the community is enriched by a diverse activities program covering physical wellness, social connection, spirituality, and cognitive health. Rehabilitation and respite care are also available, and the environment is pet-friendly with housekeeping included. Walk-in visits are also welcome at any time.
Apple Springs Retirement and Assisted Living Residence remains a practical choice for older adults in Omak and Okanogan County seeking a comfortable, amenity-rich environment. Set in a region with limited senior care resources, this community appeals to families searching for a local community with personalized programming and an open-door atmosphere.
Bay Vista Commons Assisted Living Community is a senior care community in Bremerton, Washington, that provides specialized assisted living and memory care services. Under the operation of a public agency, the Bremerton Housing Authority, the community established a reputation for a unique, mission-driven senior living option in the West Sound region. With a 76-bed capacity in Kitsap County, the community has 63 residents and an 83% occupancy rate. By accepting Medicaid, the community also offers a practical option for families seeking publicly funded care.
The state compliance history includes four DSHS inspections, which identified a total of 11 deficiencies. The most recent review on January 13, 2025, identified one deficiency, a figure that remains well below the Washington state average of 31. This report includes a substantiated finding of neglect regarding the monitoring of a resident during a behavioral crisis.
Previous inspections in late 2024 also highlighted fire safety concerns, such as blocked exits and sprinkler maintenance, while a January 2024 investigation confirmed concerns about a policy that used EMS for resident lifting rather than on-site staff. While there are no records of fines or license suspensions, interested families are encouraged to ask about improved emergency response and monitoring protocols.
A variety of services, including common areas, transportation, an on-site salon, and an emergency call system featuring wearable bracelets, are also provided in a pet-friendly and wheelchair-accessible setting. Along with housekeeping and linen services, the dining program also features home-style cooking served in an elegant, restaurant-style setting. A flexible open dining concept allows for meal service between 7:30 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. to support individual autonomy, while the kitchen can accommodate special dietary needs.
Bay Vista Commons Assisted Living Community is an ideal fit for older adults in the Bremerton area who require memory care or assisted living, particularly those seeking a Medicaid-friendly community. Its foundation within the public housing authority and its central Kitsap County location make this community a significant resource for families navigating the costs of long-term care in western Washington.
Overview of White River Assisted Living
White River Assisted Living is a senior care community in Enumclaw, Washington, offering assisted living and memory care services. This 65-bed community also features a specialized memory care neighborhood tailored for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive challenges. It also serves as a primary option for older adults in the foothills of southeastern King County.
The DSHS compliance history shows a total of four inspections that accumulated 15 deficiencies, revealing a consistent pattern of fire safety issues that warrants evaluation. The latest inspection on August 19, 2025, identified 2 deficiencies, which is lower than the Washington state average of 31. However, these deficiencies included a fire alarm panel remaining in trouble status and fire watch intervals that did not meet established policy requirements.
Previous reviews also cited problems with fire door latches, missing maintenance records for sprinklers and alarms, and incomplete fire extinguisher inspections. A substantiated complaint also confirmed issues with fire alarm trouble and inadequate fire watch procedures. While there are no records of fines, license suspensions, or findings of immediate jeopardy, the recurring nature of these fire safety concerns across several cycles should be a point of discussion with the community leadership.
Regarding lifestyle and care, the community provides structured programming that includes dining, educational classes, and social events. The dedicated memory care neighborhood also provides a focused environment for those with dementia, serving as a standout feature in the Enumclaw market. As detailed amenity lists were not available, families are encouraged to request a comprehensive service guide directly from the community.
White River Assisted Living is best suited for older adults in Enumclaw and the surrounding southeastern King County region, including Black Diamond, Auburn, and the White River Valley, seeking assisted living or memory care. It is a practical option for those who value proximity to their homes in a smaller community setting instead of moving to a more urbanized area.
The Cottages of Renton is a memory care community managed by Care Partners Living in Renton, Washington, dedicated to individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory-related conditions. The community has 60 licensed beds across three separate cottage-style buildings, each housing up to 20 residents in King County. Current occupancy is approximately 83%, which aligns with the state average, indicating limited availability. Short-term respite care is also available for families seeking temporary stays.
The most recent inspection on September 12, 2025, identified deficiencies related to kitchen staff hand sanitation and incomplete continuing education for care staff. Earlier records also cited fire safety documentation gaps, a substantiated complaint related to failure to communicate a resident’s DNR status to emergency responders, and issues with resident care documentation. The total number of deficiencies throughout its inspection history was 68, which is above the Washington state average of 31, warranting careful consideration from families. However, no fines or license actions are cited.
The community is designed with safety and supervision in mind, including a secured perimeter and 24-hour awake staffing, along with on-site physician visits to support ongoing medical needs. Additionally, a range of amenities and services, including secure outdoor courtyards, individualized care plans, medication management, social programming, outdoor activity spaces, and gardening opportunities, are provided. Daily activities are also tailored to each resident’s abilities and preferences to support engagement and cognitive stimulation in a structured environment.
The Cottages of Renton is well-suited for older adults in the Renton and South King County area who are in moderate to advanced stages of memory loss, seeking a secure, small group setting with specialized care. Its cottage-based layout, with a limited number of residents in each home, also helps create a calmer and more manageable environment. The community’s smaller care setting, secure outdoor access, and on-site medical support appeal to families focusing on memory care services.
Red Oak Residence of North Bend is a retirement and assisted living community in North Bend, Washington, that offers independent senior living, assisted living, respite care, and short-term stays. It has 38 beds in King County and was recognized as a 2016 Reader’s Choice Awardee for Best Retirement Community, which signifies strong local recognition. The community also supports volunteer involvement and encourages family participation as part of its overall care approach.
From a regulatory standpoint, inspection history shows ongoing concerns, particularly about fire safety. The most recent inspection on October 25, 2024, was conducted following a complaint and identified deficiencies tied to fire safety violations after an unsuccessful Fire Marshal review. Earlier inspections also revealed a pattern of similar issues, including improper storage of combustible materials, concerns with fire suppression systems, and documentation gaps.
Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including findings related to maintaining a safe environment and timely reporting of infectious disease outbreaks. However, no fines or license actions appear in the available records, and corrective steps have been taken to address cited issues. Families are encouraged to review the most current inspection reports and discuss fire safety and infection control procedures directly with the community.
With a 38-bed capacity, the community provides a more intimate and neighborhood-oriented residential experience, along with a lifestyle focused on engagement and connection. Weekly programming also includes shopping outings, crafts, games, and exercise classes, supporting an active and socially integrated environment. Visitor access is also available daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.

The community’s emphasis on community involvement and its recognition through local awards also contribute to its appeal.
Parkside Retirement Community is a senior living community in Auburn, Washington, offering independent living, assisted living, and rehabilitative services for older adults. The community has 94 licensed beds in King County, providing 24-hour certified staffing, a round-the-clock security system, rehabilitation services, and short-term rehab options in a pet-friendly setting.
From a regulatory standpoint, the most recent follow-up inspection on September 19, 2025, reported no deficiencies, confirming that prior issues had been resolved and that licensing requirements are currently met. However, earlier inspections identified concerns related to fire and life safety codes, staff certification, hand sanitation practices, and pet health documentation. Complaint investigations were not substantiated. A civil fine was issued in July 2025 due to unresolved deficiencies at that time, but the most recent clean inspection indicates that corrective measures have been successfully implemented. Additionally, no license suspensions or revocations were reported.
Current occupancy is approximately 74%, which is close to the Washington state average, suggesting a balanced level of demand and availability. The community also offers a practical range of amenities, including daily lunch service with optional supper plans, cable and phone access, water, trash, and electricity, along with routine maintenance and groundskeeping. Guest accommodations and shared common areas are also available. The inclusion of utilities and meals also helps provide predictable monthly costs to navigate long-term care.
Parkside Retirement Community is well-suited for older adults in the Auburn area seeking an affordable option that combines independent or assisted living with supportive services and continuous staff presence. Its relatively affordable starting cost also makes it a more accessible choice within the South King County market. With meals, utilities, and maintenance included in the monthly rate, families prioritizing predictable costs will find the community a practical option.
Keystone is a residential care community in Seattle, Washington, operating 64 beds in King County. It is classified as a behavioral health licensed community with a reported occupancy rate of approximately 95%. This is well above the Washington state average, suggesting strong local demand and limited availability.
Inspection history indicates ongoing fire safety compliance concerns, with the most recent inspection on June 16, 2025, being a follow-up visit that confirmed some previously cited issues had been corrected but still identified concerns such as debris on sprinkler heads, gaps in fire alarm maintenance, and obstructed exit pathways. Earlier inspections also revealed repeated fire safety code issues, along with a substantiated complaint in August 2024 related to failure to provide a required discharge notice after a resident altercation. No fines or license suspensions are listed in the available reports. While the pattern of citations raises concern, it also shows gradual corrective efforts over time, so families are advised to review the most current state inspection records before making a decision.
The community offers amenities such as bicycle storage, a landscaped public plaza, and street-level retail, which are more typical of an urban residential setting than a traditional care-focused environment. Housing-related services are also highlighted, along with pet policies and general tenant support, suggesting a primary focus on residential living rather than intensive clinical care.
Keystone is best suited for more independent older adults in the Seattle area who prefer an urban, community-integrated living environment with access to basic services rather than higher levels of medical or personal care. Its high occupancy also reflects strong interest in this type of housing. However, families considering this community should confirm current licensing details and carefully review recent inspection records to ensure the setting aligns with their loved one’s care needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Washington
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Washington?
Assisted living in Washington supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Washington?
Assisted living in Washington is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Washington Medicaid cover assisted living?
Washington Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Washington) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 464 assisted living facilities in Washington. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Washington?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Washington, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Washington?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
