Welcome to Cogir at the Narrows
Providing the support your loved ones need
Deciding to move a loved one into a community that is equipped to provide them the care they need is an incredibly difficult decision. Providing them with expert support in a welcoming environment is the best gift you can give them.
There are many options out there designed for your loved one to thrive such as Memory Care communities, Nursing Homes and Long Term Care services. It’s important to understand what each type of supportive environment offers to make the best decision for your loved one.

February 1st, 2025, I moved to this Senior Living Center. My move was generated by my complete dissatis in ifaction with my former similar Senior Living Center. It had gone from being a TOP PLACE to a MARGINAL ONE at best. COGIR at The Narrows is a Bright Star in the Tacoma Area. It has Independent Living plus a separate Memory Care and Assisted Living Area also. A variety of Units accommodate Residents in secure & private Units and the entire building has Concierge Service with 24/7 Locked security. All Residents have separate keys and a code to get into the building afterhours. The Dining Room really shines as Attractive, Flavorful and Nourishing Meals plus take-out service are served from 7am to 7pm. Best way to put it is that the Kitchen and Wait Staff really care and positive attitudes abound just as they do throughout the ENTIRE STAFF. The Overall Attitude at COGIR is pervasive and is readily seen in the Residents also. Services such as Housekeeping & Laundry & Maintaining the Quality of all both inside and outside is well done. Units all have Cable TV & individual heat control. Two burner Stove Units and FULL SIZE SINKS & REFRIGERATORS are in each Unit. There are TWO ELEVATORS and it’s convenience is great. Throughout the facility & in each Unit’s bathroom & bedrooms, are Emergency buttons with pull cords for Personal Emergency. The Campus is very nice and walking paths are nice. Smaller Pets including dogs & cats are welcome there. The Best Way to see and appreciate this Living Center is to Tour It. I am very pleased to live in this Positive Environment.

Hannah was so organized in getting all the paper work ready for my parents to move in Cogir and my parents love the place. Her attention to detail made for a smooth admission. She is enthused in her job which made it fun when working with her. So amazed at how she remembers so many names and is always in a good mood.

My parents absolutely love living here. The care and community at Cogir are exceptional, and they’ve truly made it their home. The staff, especially the assisted living director, is not only professional but also incredibly kind and approachable. She goes above and beyond to ensure my parents’ needs are met, and I feel a strong sense of trust and partnership with her. My parents stay active and engaged with the variety of activities offered, and the peaceful, supportive environment makes them feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better place for them to call home. If you’re looking for a wonderful, caring community, I highly recommend Cogir at the Narrows.
Hear from our executive director
My name is Angela Levingston, Executive Director of Cogir at The Narrows Senior Living in Tacoma, Washington. With over 30 years in senior living, I began my career as a CNA, inspired by caring for my great-grandparents. After becoming a nurse, I owned an Adult Family Home and served as Health and Wellness Director in large communities, enhancing care programs. Two years ago, I joined Cogir at the Narrows to continue enhancing its reputation as an exceptional place to live. Outside of work, I enjoy motorcycling, camping, photography, and cheering for the 49ers. I’m passionate about creating a thriving environment for our residents.
