FRANKE TOBEY JONES REVIEWS
Our families visit to look at Franke Tobey Jones was above and beyond our expectations. The staff is friendly and informative. The rooms and grounds are beautiful. The feeling of compassion is present in their employees. It is a hard transition with having to move a parent into a new living situation and they make it known our mother will be well taken care of by the best.
We have enjoyed two highly informative visits to Franke Tobey Jones, as prospective residents. The campus is attractive and well located. Rare among the CCRCs we have seen, their independent living options are quite varied--from cottages to garden apartments to third-floor flats with a splendid view. They have a new and impressive rehab center, and an old and very handsome dining hall. Best of all, the people we met, both residents and staff, all seemed engaged and engaging.
I have had the honor of working with members of the FTJ team for over a year now, and I cannot rave enough about them! From their professionalism to their wonderful and open communication, they truly are the gold standard of Senior Living.

WEATHERLY INN REVIEWS
My mother and I chose The Weatherly Inn as her place of residence several years ago as she entered the latter phase of life. It was located near her neighborhood in Tacoma and she knew a couple other friends who resided there. Weatherly Inn is a family run business where the staff places emphasis on treating residents with dignity, quality of life, and care for them as individuals.
Mom moved to the Weatherly after she could no longer fully take care of herself in independent living. At first she needed little help and enjoyed having some independence under the watchful eye of the caring staff. As her memory declined, and as she needed more and more care, she progressed from assisted living to memory care, the staff has continued to be very supportive and caring of her over the years. When COVID hit and I could visit less often, I felt with the utmost confidence that she was in good hands.
The Weatherly staff and owners care so deeply about each of their residents. Its rare to find such a welcoming, caring place that is willing to focus on the residents rather than profits. Local family ownership makes all the difference!

MERRILL GARDENS AT TACOMA REVIEWS
Merrill Gardens Tacoma is a wonderful retirement community that provides its residences with a beautiful campus, exquisite dining, loads of activities and the apartments are top notch. This would and should be expected for what the residences pay, which is comparable to other retirement communities of this caliber. What takes Merrill Gardens Tacoma to the 5 Star level is the staff, from housekeeping, to the front desk, the nursing staff to the General Manager.
I was impressed with Merrill Gardens at Tacoma. It seemed like a very nice and well-run community. We saw the rooms, specifically in the memory unit where my father would be confined. The rooms were clean, and you get to decorate them with your own furniture. In fact, they were very nice and certainly will make them feel at home. It appeared to me that the residents were very happy.
We have lived here more than 8 years and wouldn't live anywhere else. The food is outstanding and the activities keep us happily busy. The activity schedule is the best anywhere.
