Overview of Heritage Heights at Lake Chelan
Heritage Heights at Lake Chelan is a non-profit senior care community in Chelan, Washington, offering assisted living, memory care, respite care, and end-of-life care. The community operates in the Lake Chelan Valley within Chelan County, with a non-profit structure that sets it apart from many local providers and often reflects a mission-focused approach to care. With a 32-bed capacity, the community has 23 occupied beds and an occupancy of approximately 72%, consistent with the Washington state average. Pets are welcome, and utilities and housekeeping are included.
The inspection history highlights ongoing fire safety compliance concerns. The community has completed five state inspections, with the most recent life safety review on September 10, 2024, identifying 11 deficiencies. These findings were related to fire system maintenance documentation, storage clearance issues, improper use of power strips, and fire suppression systems. Earlier inspections also revealed a similar pattern of fire safety and electrical documentation issues, along with a prior citation tied to incomplete resident service agreements.
Additionally, complaint investigations conducted in early 2023 were unsubstantiated, and no fines or license suspensions are listed in available records. While the total deficiency count from the most recent review is below the statewide average of 31, it is still important for families to discuss current fire safety practices and corrective actions.
Three daily meals are provided in a shared dining environment, with options like fresh fruits and vegetables and accommodations for special dietary needs. A variety of daily activities, both on-site and in the surrounding area, support engagement and overall well-being, while care is guided by individualized service plans. Notably, end-of-life care is a compelling service, as smaller communities in rural Washington do not always provide this level of support.
Heritage Heights at Lake Chelan is a strong fit for older adults who prefer a small-town setting in the Pacific Northwest and are looking for a community-oriented environment with non-profit oversight, inclusive services, and access to advanced care support alongside assisted living or memory care.
Overview of Ciel Senior Living of the Tri-Cities Memory Care
Ciel Senior Living of the Tri-Cities Memory Care is a dedicated memory care community in Kennewick, Washington, specializing in care for those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia throughout Benton County and the broader Tri-Cities region. With 48 of 69 beds occupied, the community is currently at approximately 70%, close to the state average, with open availability for interested families.
The community has completed four state inspections, which is below the Washington average of nine, with the most recent life safety inspection, on October 28, 2025, reporting zero deficiencies and confirming that previously cited fire safety issues had been fully resolved. Earlier inspections, on the other hand, had identified concerns such as gaps in documentation, improper storage of combustible materials, and issues with emergency exit signage. There was also a substantiated complaint involving the delayed reporting of suspected resident abuse. However, no fines or license suspensions were reported. The most recent deficiency-free inspection signifies a meaningful improvement in operations and oversight.
In addition to comprehensive memory care, programming, 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, and short-term respite care are provided. Dining also focuses on fresh ingredients with a variety of meal options designed to meet individual preferences and needs. With its convenient location in Kennewick, the community provides easier access to families in the Tri-Cities area, including nearby Richland and Pasco, to a specialized dementia care option without the need to travel to a larger metropolitan area.
Ciel Senior Living of the Tri-Cities Memory Care is an appealing choice for older adults in the early to advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia-related conditions seeking a secure and purpose-built environment. The availability of respite care also makes it a practical option for families seeking temporary support.
Overview of Mountain Glen Retirement Community
Mountain Glen Retirement Community is a senior living community in Mount Vernon, Washington, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite services. With an 83-bed capacity in Skagit County, it is one of the most extensive care spectrums in the region. The community currently maintains a 71% occupancy rate, which is close to the Washington state average and indicates both steady local interest and current availability for new residents.
The most recent inspection on October 8, 2025, identified zero fire safety deficiencies, confirming that all previous violations have been fully addressed. This is a particularly positive result considering that older inspections had noted recurring issues with fire doors, emergency exit obstructions, and staff training. While the community faced a fine in February 2023 for delayed corrections to safety protocols, no recent fines or enforcement actions have been recorded. The current data also reflects a clear trend toward high compliance and improved management.
A wide range of services, including 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation support, and professional housekeeping, are offered, alongside multiple restaurant-style dining venues where three meals are served daily. Life enrichment programs, wellness classes, and on-site salon services also promote social interactions. Transportation, maintenance, and laundry are also provided to ensure a maintenance-free environment. This community is pet-friendly, though it does not accept Medicare, so families will need to arrange for alternative payment methods.
Mountain Glen Retirement Community is an ideal choice for older adults in Mount Vernon and the Skagit Valley seeking a full-service environment that can adapt to changing health needs. Its recent deficiency-free safety report and broad selection of amenities make this community a standout option for families seeking long-term care in northwestern Washington.
Overview of Fieldstone Memory Care
Fieldstone Memory Care is a specialized memory care community in Yakima, Washington, dedicated to supporting older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and various forms of dementia in Yakima County. The community’s 58-bed capacity is currently fully occupied, suggesting a consistent demand for expert memory care services in the Yakima region.
The community achieved a perfect score during its most recent state inspection in July 2025, which identified no deficiencies and confirmed that all licensing requirements were met after the correction of previous issues. However, past inspections had cited deficiencies related to fire safety codes and administrative staff compliance, such as tuberculosis testing, nurse delegation, and negotiated service agreements, all of which were promptly addressed. While a prior complaint investigation substantiated a failure in provider practice involving a staff member who caused a resident unnecessary pain, the community took decisive action by suspending and then terminating that employee. With a total deficiency count significantly lower than the Washington state average of 31, the community’s regulatory trajectory remains positive, and no fines or license actions were identified.
Beyond its core memory care programming, the community provides respite care for families exploring short-term support options within a purpose-built environment. Amenities are also designed to foster engagement and combat isolation, which include scenic outdoor courtyards, a movie theater, game rooms, and several dining areas. Although primarily focused on memory support, the community also offers independent and assisted living programs to help older adults age in place even when their care needs evolve.
Fieldstone Memory Care is an ideal choice for older adults with moderate to advanced memory loss who require a secure, structured, and sensory-supportive lifestyle. The community also appeals to families in Yakima County seeking a dedicated setting that prioritizes quality of life through enrichment amenities and safe outdoor access.
Overview of Trouves St Ann’s INC
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.

While there are no records of fines, license suspensions, or findings of immediate jeopardy, the recurring nature of these fire safety concerns across several cycles should be a point of discussion with the community leadership.
Regarding lifestyle and care, the community provides structured programming that includes dining, educational classes, and social events.

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.
