Compassionate Memory Care at Home in Tacoma, Gig Harbor & University Place

When Memory Fades, Familiar Surroundings Matter Most

Watching a parent or spouse live with Alzheimer's or dementia is one of the hardest journeys a family can face. You don't have to walk it alone — and your loved one doesn't have to leave the home they know.

AffordCare Home Care provides specialized, in-home memory care across Tacoma, Gig Harbor, University Place, and the Seattle Metro area. Our caregivers are trained to support people living with memory loss in the place where they feel safest: home.

Why Families Across Tacoma Trust AffordCare

  • Founded by a dementia care specialist. Jackie Ramos built AffordCare around the kind of memory care she would want for her own family.
  • Caregivers with deeper memory care training. Our team is trained through our Dementia Care Excellence Program — in patience, communication, and connection.
  • Fast response and flexible scheduling. Same-day or next-day start when possible. Evenings, weekends, short-notice welcome.
  • Caregiver continuity. We keep the same familiar faces in your loved one's routine. Familiarity calms confusion.
  • Local, family-owned, rooted in the South Sound. We live and work in the same communities you do.

Our Memory Care Services

We provide non-medical, in-home support that's structured around your loved one's stage of memory loss, daily rhythms, and personality.

Daily Routine & Supervision

Calm, consistent days reduce anxiety and confusion. We help with morning and evening routines, gentle redirection, and safe supervision throughout the day.

Personal Care with Dignity

Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility support — always handled with patience, privacy, and respect.

Meaningful Engagement

Music, photo albums, gentle conversation, walks, hobbies, and simple activities that connect to who your loved one is, not just their diagnosis.

Safety & Wandering Prevention

Watchful supervision, home safety awareness, and steady presence to reduce fall risk and wandering.

Nutrition & Hydration Support

Meal planning, preparation, hydration reminders, and feeding support tailored to changing dietary needs.

Family Respite Care

You need rest, too. Our respite care gives family caregivers time to recover, travel, or simply breathe — knowing your loved one is in caring hands.

Overnight & 24/7 Live-In Care

For families who need extended-hour support, we offer overnight supervision and round-the-clock care.

What Memory Care at Home Can Mean for Your Family

  • A familiar bedroom, kitchen, and yard — instead of an unfamiliar facility
  • Less agitation, more comfort, and steadier days
  • Real peace of mind for adult children and spouses
  • One trusted point of contact, not a rotating cast of strangers
  • Time and space for the family to simply be family again
We understand how stressful this time can be. Our team is here to help your family with compassionate, reliable care — every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is memory care at home really safer than a facility?

For many families, yes. Familiar surroundings tend to reduce confusion and agitation. We focus on safety, supervision, and home routines so your loved one can stay where they feel most secure.

Are your caregivers specifically trained in dementia care?

Yes. Memory care is a core focus of our company. Our caregivers complete training through our Dementia Care Excellence Program, with an emphasis on patience, communication, and gentle redirection.

How quickly can care begin?

In many cases, we can start within 24 to 48 hours, including evenings and weekends. Hospital discharges and urgent situations are a priority.

Will my loved one have the same caregivers each visit?

Whenever possible, yes. Our Caregiver Continuity approach keeps familiar faces in your loved one's routine — which is especially important in memory care.

Do you provide medical care?

We provide non-medical in-home care. We don't replace nurses or doctors, but we work alongside hospice, home health, and medical teams to provide daily support, supervision, and personal care.

How does pricing work?

We offer transparent, customized pricing based on your loved one's needs and schedule. There are no long-term contracts. We focus on private-pay families and can help coordinate with long-term care insurance.

Do you offer respite care for family caregivers?

Yes. Our respite care packages are designed for families caring for a loved one with dementia at home — giving you time to rest, travel, or handle personal matters.
