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.
