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.

Overview of Josephine Caring Community

The line between needing help with doing the buttons in your shirt and needing a door that stays shut for your own safety can be thin. Josephine Caring Community in Stanwood, WA, carries both of those: assisted living and memory care. That means residents’ families need not look for a second address when their needs move from one to the next.

Assisted living covers just that: help with getting dressed, help with getting bathed, and help with getting medicated. But otherwise, residents are able to have their own space unsupervised. Memory care is the secured version of that. With more attentive care and supervision for someone who might try to leave when they really shouldn’t be out alone. The community has 86 beds.

Rehabilitation services are also provided in-house, so therapy does not mean booking somebody from outside. Pets are allowed so residents can bring theirs with them when they move in. The Walk Score is 59: that’s somewhat walkable.

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?
