Splendid House

Splendid House is a DSHS-licensed adult family home at 1211 E 57Th St in Tacoma, Pierce County (license #756627), licensed to care for up to 4 residents at a time. Adult family homes sit between independent living and a nursing home: a licensed caregiver looks after a small number of residents in an actual house, providing meals, help with daily tasks, medication management, and round-the-clock supervision in a setting that still feels like home.

Splendid House is licensed to care for residents with Alzheimer's and other dementias. The value of an adult family home for memory care is continuity: a stable set of faces, a familiar house, and the kind of one-on-one attention that reduces wandering, sundowning, and the distress of constant change. It is licensed to support residents with mental-health needs. Caregivers are trained to look after adults managing conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia alongside their daily personal care.

Splendid House 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 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.
