Compassion and Care

Compassion & Care Adult Family Home sits on S Gunnison Street in Tacoma, WA, with space for up to six residents, and it's licensed by the state. Residents get personal care from staff, with nurses on site, who help with things like medicine, bathing, dressing, and moving from bed to wheelchair using mechanical lifts or hands-on help if needed, and staff can give insulin shots but can't do sliding scale therapy. The community offers services for people who need help every day, assisted living for folks who want some independence but need a hand with chores, and a separate memory care area built for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other memory problems, with a system like Wander Guard that alerts staff if someone tries to leave a safe area. There's a secure place just for memory care, and staff can manage residents with serious behavior issues, while also reminding people about things like grooming and going to the bathroom. Residents get private rooms with bathrooms that have full-sized bathtubs, or they can choose shared suites or a studio, and all rooms include safety features like emergency call buttons, smoke alarms, and handicap access. The community provides three meals daily-meals can be vegetarian, kosher, or tailored by a dietitian-and there's a chef, with snacks and meals served in a communal dining room or private dining room if needed, and a barbershop and beautician service are available, so grooming and haircuts are easy to arrange. Around the building, you'll see landscaped grounds with walking paths, indoor and outdoor common spaces, and spots to sit and talk, plus there's space for activities, crafts, games, devotional services both on and off-site, and a chapel, library, high definition TVs, computers with the internet, and a fitness center. Anyone needing a ride can use transportation services at cost, resident parking is free, and the location is close to bus lines for trips out, so family visits or outings are doable. The staff stays on duty 24 hours a day and can provide high-acuity care, incontinence support, diabetic management, and help with Parkinson's and physical transfers. The home supports health with regular checkups, dental care, home health services, and wellness programs, and there's an on-call maintenance team, plus housekeeping is provided. Care plans fit each resident personally and change as needs grow, letting folks stay put as care increases, which brings peace of mind to family members. The property hosts both assisted living and memory care services, with routines and safety features adapted for people who may wander, and there's a computerized alert system in place, bracelets with alarms, and safety fixtures throughout. There are activities on-site and off, with spiritual support available, and room for people to relax, be social, or enjoy quiet hobbies. Public reviews average 3.5 out of 5 stars based on one posted review, with reviews checked by a third-party service for accuracy, though there's no public price list. Compassion & Care Adult Family Home offers support for seniors in Tacoma needing assisted living, memory care, or nursing support in a family-friendly setting with a small number of residents.
