Working in the senior care industry takes an extraordinary amount of patience, compassion, and dedication. Peter Adams, the Community Relations Director, truly embodies all of these qualities. He consistently goes above and beyond to support families and their loved ones through what can often feel like an overwhelming transition. Thanks to his guidance, so many discover that moving to a retirement community can be a rewarding and positive new chapter. The community itself radiates warmth and a real sense of belonging. From the moment you walk in, there is a welcoming atmosphere and many smiley faces. The entire Tacoma team works together seamlessly to create a supportive, caring environment. Every time I visit my clients who call this community home, they share how much they enjoy living here. The friendships they’ve built with their neighbors and the delicious food are always highlights! Thank you, Peter, and the whole Tacoma team, for the outstanding work you do and the exceptional care you provide. You make a meaningful difference for so many families.

We’re proud to be a partner with this beautiful assisted living community, where we have been able to provide private 1-on-1 caregivers to some of their wonderful residents whose care needs advance. This gives their residents the opportunity to age in place, no matter what. This is so important to families/residents when choosing a community and brings peace of mind when you move your family in. The building is warm and inviting, clean and that roof top view - nothing like it! The management team is truly exceptional—some of the best in the business, with years of experience and a clear passion for serving seniors. Tour with Peter! It’s always a pleasure to work alongside such a dedicated and professional staff!

My husband moved into Merrill Gardens Wright Park needing supervision due to mild cognitive loss. He has greatly enjoyed living in his studio apartment and benefited so well that his cognition has shown improvement. The staff has been wonderful and supportive. I highly recommend this community.
Families love this community. See if it’s the right fit for you.
