Overview of Narrows Glen

Cogir at the Narrows sits in Tacoma’s West End neighborhood and covers three levels of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. The building is three stories with 115 beds, and every single one is filled. That kind of occupancy usually tells you something about local demand.

You can pick from a studio, a one-bedroom, or a two-bedroom apartment, with floor plans running from 350 up to 560 square feet. The neighborhood itself scores a 7 out of 100 on walkability, which lands it firmly in car-dependent territory. If you’re picturing strolls to a corner store, that’s probably not this spot; a car will handle most errands.

Angela Levingston runs the place as Executive Director, and she’s been in senior living for more than three decades. She started as a CNA and nurse, later owned an Adult Family Home herself, and worked as a Health and Wellness Director before landing here. That’s the kind of background that means she’s seen this industry from nearly every angle.

Care-wise, residents get access to rehabilitation services and respite care, plus licensed nurses and CNAs on staff around the clock. That combination works for people managing ongoing health needs and for anyone using the community as a short-term stopover to heal. Pets are welcome too, which matters more than people expect when someone’s leaving a home they’ve lived in for decades.

There’s a fitness center, a salon, a barber, spa services, and a chapel for residents who want it. A wellness program sits at the center of the activities calendar, backed by several branded programs touching music, movement, pets, and virtual experiences. Pricing starts at $3,395 a month, and the community takes both Medicaid and Medicare.

Washington’s state inspectors check in on communities like this one periodically, and recent reviews here have touched on medication management, infection control, and staff credentials. Those three areas show up in oversight across senior living broadly, not just here. Between the full occupancy, the tenured leadership, and a care lineup built for both long-term and short-term residents, Cogir at the Narrows reads as an established, steadily-run community in a quiet corner of Tacoma.

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.
