About Fountain Of Peace Adult Family
Fountain Of Peace Adult Family is a Washington-licensed adult family home at 1616 Wheeler St S in Tacoma, Pierce County (license #758707), 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.
Fountain Of Peace Adult Family 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. It is licensed for mental-health support, caring for adults whose needs go beyond physical care — including mood, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions — within a stable, closely-supervised household. It is licensed to serve adults with developmental disabilities, providing daily support tailored to each resident's abilities in a stable, long-term home rather than a rotating institutional placement.
Fountain Of Peace Adult Family accepts Medicaid (Washington Apple Health) and COPES funding for residents who qualify, which means a placement here need not depend entirely on private savings — a real consideration for care that often runs for years. It is one of 373 licensed adult family homes in Tacoma listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
