Trouves St Ann’s INC is a senior living community in Tacoma, Washington, specializing in care for those with memory loss or mental health concerns. This 61-bed community serves Pierce County with a dual-focus care model. This distinguishes it from typical memory care-only options, as the community emphasizes meaningful activities, compassionate caregiving, and a secure, homelike environment.
Since no DSHS inspection data were available, its regulatory compliance history is limited. Families are strongly encouraged to request the most recent inspection report directly from the Washington Department of Social and Health Services Residential Care Services or from the community itself before making a placement decision.
The community provides a confirmed set of programs spanning memory care, mental health support, and general health and wellness. The inclusion of diverse activities and specialized amenities also makes it one of the more unique care environments available in Pierce County. Additionally, a dual focus on cognitive decline and mental health conditions is particularly relevant for older adults whose care needs include behavioral or psychiatric support alongside traditional dementia care.
Trouves St Ann’s INC is best suited for families in Tacoma seeking a smaller, specialized community that can support a loved one with Alzheimer’s, other forms of dementia, or co-occurring mental health concerns. Families who need a community experienced with behavioral health alongside memory care will find few comparable options in the Pierce County region, so this specialized focus makes the community a notable option that warrants serious consideration, along with a thorough review of its current inspection standing.
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.
