City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Description of bed or unit types offered (e.g. assisted living, memory care), as reported in state or facility disclosures.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Inspection events categorized as complaint-related by the state regulator.
Total count of deficiencies (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of deficiencies this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total deficiencies ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Overview of Weatherly Inn Tacoma

Weatherly Inn Tacoma in Tacoma, WA, covers independent living, assisted living, respite care, and memory care. Independent living gives a resident a private residence along with community services, without anyone coming in for daily assistance.

Overview of Merrill Gardens at Wright Park

Merrill Gardens at Wright Park offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Tacoma’s Stadium District. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Because all three care levels are offered in one community, Merrill Gardens at Wright Park can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without leaving the community.

The community has 60 beds in a high-rise building. Residents can choose a studio, one-bedroom home, or two-bedroom home. A studio provides one private space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together. The starting price is $3,995 per month, giving families an initial amount to include in monthly planning, and Medicaid is accepted as a payment option for eligible residents.

A Walk Score of 93 out of 100 makes the area a walker’s paradise, so daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Pets are allowed. The fitness area provides a place to exercise on site, and all-day dining lets residents eat at varying times. Merrill Gardens owns the community.

Overview of Merrill Gardens at Tacoma

Merrill Gardens at Tacoma sits in the West End neighborhood at 7290 Rosemount Cir, a 65-bed, three-story building with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. It covers three levels of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care.

Walkability is a real strength here; the Walk Score hits 80, very walkable, which means most errands don’t require a car at all. Pets are welcome too, so a move here doesn’t mean giving up a dog or cat.

Day to day, staffing runs 24 hours, with respite care available and a resident call system in place for safety. Transportation services and fitness and recreation options handle the logistics and activity side without leaning entirely on family. Robert Brock is the listed contact for the community.

The amenities aim for comfort over flash: a game room, a library, salon services, and garage parking. Pricing starts at $3,700 a month for assisted living, and Medicaid is accepted, which opens up coverage options that not every community offers.

On the inspection side, state reviews here have tended to center on staffing and staff credentials, a theme that shows up across assisted living facilities broadly and isn’t specific to this one.

Put together, this is a walkable, pet-friendly community with three care levels, Medicaid acceptance, and a comfort-focused amenity list, the kind of combination that works well for families who want flexibility without sacrificing convenience.
