"Thank you so much for everything. A week ago, my mom and I were both completely lost and didn't know where to even start looking. We wouldn't be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now if it wasn't for your help."

-- Janet G.

"Just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for all of your help over the last few weeks. My mom settled into Sunrise and everything went very well. The information you were able to provide really helped in my research in trying to find the best facility for my mom. It's a wonderful service that you and your group provide"

-- Rick K.

"I wanted to thank you so much for the information you compiled for me on Alzheimer’s group homes for my mom. I was amazed at how fast you sent the info after our initial phone call! And everything was so detailed and helpful. I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the service you provided through A Place for Mom. You helped us put an end to a 2 year dialog in our family on where and how we could transfer Mom’s care. When I called my sister about the Warner house, she laughed and said I sounded “positively giddy” – and I was. I know no place is perfect, but my intuition is that we found one of the best – thanks to you."

-- Karen B.

Olympic Alzheimer's Residence
Gig Harbor, WA
Alzheimer's Care
Olympic Alzheimer's Residence (Z) Alzheimer's Care
Olympic Alzheimer’s Residence was completed in 1994 and is a community designed to care for those suffering from memory loss, Alzheimer’s Disease, and related dementias. Residents feel safe and comfortable – nestled in a structure styled after a mountain lodge, with stone fireplaces and broad porches. The building offers three neighborhoods of care and each serves a “family of 20 residents.” Trained personal care assistants, who are attuned to the needs of the neighborhood, care for the residents in a homelike atmosphere. Olympic Alzheimer’s Residence is well located between Tacoma and Gig Harbor, just one mile from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Yet, the community affords amenities not available in an urban or inner-city setting. The grounds feature enclosed courtyards, gardens, exercise yards, and an extensive network of wandering paths in a safe, protected environment. The quiet surroundings promote a strong feeling of serenity.
