Family First

Family First is a Washington-licensed adult family home at 2904 138Th St Nw in Gig Harbor, Pierce County (license #605800), licensed to care for up to 6 residents at a time. Adult family homes are ordinary residential houses, licensed by Washington State, where a small group of older adults live together and receive 24-hour personal care and supervision. The scale is the point: with only a handful of residents, the caregiver-to-resident ratio is far higher than a large assisted-living complex or nursing facility can offer.

Family First is licensed for memory and dementia care. For a resident living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, the small household matters: the same caregivers every day, a predictable routine, and closer supervision than a large memory wing can provide, which eases the confusion and agitation that unfamiliar faces and settings tend to bring on.

Family First accepts Medicaid (Apple Health) and COPES for eligible residents, so families who can't cover years of private-pay care still have a path to a bed here. It is one of 24 licensed adult family homes in Gig Harbor listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
