Who Our Memory Care Is For

Our memory care in Puyallup is for adults living with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia or other memory loss who are no longer safe living alone, and for families who want a small, calm home instead of a large facility. Because we are a licensed adult family home with only a few residents, caregivers know each person’s history, habits and triggers, and they notice changes early.

Early to Mid-Stage Dementia

Gentle reminders, cueing and structured days for residents who are becoming confused, forgetful or unsafe at home.

Wandering & Sundowning

A secure home and familiar evening routines that ease late-day agitation and keep residents safely indoors.

Family Caregivers at Their Limit

Relief for spouses and adult children who can no longer manage nights, bathing or safety on their own.

Our home at 18923 Eastwood Ave. E. in Puyallup is close to families in Puyallup, South Hill, Sumner, Bonney Lake, Edgewood, Graham, Frederickson, Orting and Tacoma. Living in a quiet residential neighborhood rather than a large building means fewer strangers, less noise and a predictable rhythm to each day: the setting that helps many people with dementia feel safe.

Memory Care Questions Families Ask

What is the difference between an adult family home and a memory care facility?

An adult family home is a licensed private residence that cares for a small number of residents. Larger memory care communities may house dozens of people. In a home like ours, the same small team cares for your loved one every day, which builds the trust and routine that people with dementia rely on.

Is Act of Hope licensed?

Adult family homes in Washington State are licensed and inspected by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). We are happy to share our license details and answer questions about inspections when you visit.

How do you handle wandering or agitation?

We use a secure home, consistent daily routines, meaningful activities and calm redirection. Caregivers learn what comforts each resident, such as music, a favorite chair or a familiar task, and use it before agitation builds.

Can my loved one stay as their dementia progresses?

In many cases, yes. We adjust care as needs change and coordinate with doctors and, when the time comes, hospice providers. We will talk openly with you about what we can safely provide.

How do we get started?

Schedule a tour of our Puyallup home. We will meet you and your loved one, learn their history and care needs, and explain the next steps.
