Family First

Licensed by Washington DSHS, Family First is an adult family home at 4001 59Th Street Ct Nw in Gig Harbor, Pierce County (license #644700), licensed to care for up to 6 residents at a time. An adult family home is a state-licensed private residence — not an institution — that cares for up to six adults at a time. Families choose them for the quieter, more home-like setting and the close, consistent attention that a small household makes possible.

Family First is licensed for dementia and memory care. In a home this size, a resident with memory loss isn't one of dozens on a wing — the caregivers know their history, their triggers, and their routine, which is often what keeps someone with Alzheimer's calm, oriented, and safe day to day.

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.
