Overview of Trouves St Ann’s

Trouves St Ann’s 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Washington Medicaid cover memory care?

Washington Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
