The Farmhouse

Licensed by Washington DSHS, The Farmhouse is an adult family home at 11716 Vickery Ave E in Tacoma, Pierce County (license #23800), 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.

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. It is licensed for residents with developmental disabilities, offering the consistency and individualized routine that a small, permanent household can sustain far better than a large facility.

The Farmhouse 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.
