Dementia and memory care in Olympia

131 of the 135 homes in Olympia carry the DSHS dementia specialty designation, and 131 carry the mental health designation. A designation means the provider completed the extra training the state requires. It is not a quality rating, and it doesn't say how many residents with dementia a home serves today. On a visit, ask how the home handles wandering, nights and changes in care needs, and read its DSHS inspection record first. How to choose an adult family home.
