Heron’s Key is a nonprofit Life Care retirement community in Gig Harbor, WA, and a member of Emerald Communities. We offer Independent Living with access to a full continuum of care, including Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing, all on one campus. Known for our excellent culinary program and vibrant community life, Heron’s Key is a place where connection, wellness, and lifelong learning thrive. Residents also have the opportunity to plan ahead as our community continues to grow, with new apartment and cottage homes coming soon
My husband and I are future members since we have put down a deposit and are waiting for a place to open up for us. The staff have encouraged us to visit often and to feel at home before we move in. It has been a delightful experience. Top notch staff friendly residents.

The community and culture at Heron's Key is off the charts. The Lifelong Learning Interest Group sponsors 50 in person and 150 video documentary events a year. This level of intellectual stimulation is unequaled by any other facility in the state. If you want to stay active intellectually, then Heron's Key is the place for you.

Heron’s Key invests in their future residence by offering social opportunities to engage with current residents, staff, and future residents. These opportunities are fun, informative, and usually involves good food!

We very much appreciated the opportunity to meet Heron’s Key senior staff and management, and to meet other future residents. We always learn something new, and these events make us feel like part of the community even though we are a few years away from moving in. Thanks to McKenna Leahan and her team!

Situated in beautiful Gig Harbor, WA is an awesome resort-like adult community called Heron's Key. It is so popular that they are adding a large wing that already has a full waiting list. Interested?
