EDIT: Within 12 hours of putting my review up, the general manager Andrea Peterson called my personal phone number and criticized my review. Not only was this not welcome, but the former HR director - whom I went to repeatedly over concerns of poor hygiene, poor conduct, and neglect of residents - asked me why I never spoke-up on these matters. This makes it obvious to me that despite my wishes, the Weatherly Inn does not care for your loved ones. Your concerns will not be addressed, and then the blame will be put on you. As someone who worked in the kitchen and memory care sections of the Weatherly

I have had the pleasure of photographing numerous events at The Weatherly Inn. What a lovely residence. All the staff go above and beyond, everyone is extra accomodating, and their space is of the highest quality! I know all of their events will be produced with attention to detail, and include amazing food and service. Two thumbs up!!!

How fortunate I've been to spend 14 years working with residents and staff at Weatherly Inn prior to my retirement last year! Truly it is a wonderful environment where residents, their families, and staff share a warm sense of home and family. Longevity of staff - some with nearly 30 years of dedicated service - help provide a sense of stability and familiarity. Once residents come to Weatherly Inn everyone works to help them feel welcomed and appreciated. This continues through the final transition phase and even afterwards when celebration of their life is often held at Weatherly Inn.

The Weatherly is a a beautiful place. It has a great location to start with. The neighborhood is quite which makes walking around the facility a pleasant activity to do, especially during spring time when all the flowers bloom. Residents and staff are great! They are always up to something fun and entertaining while offering the best health and mental care for the residents. There are many activities going on throughout the day with my favorite ones being the Outdoor Happy-Hours and the Live Music Socials! I highly recommend this place for your loved ones!

This is a wonderful place . . . the staff is so caring and dedicated. The facility itself is spotless and decorated beautifully with a comfy-homey feeling. But more importantly, the residents I've spoken with over the past 8 years, are happy and enjoy their home. I only hope that I'm lucky enough to call it home when the time comes.

As a senior Advisor and a professional in the senior industry for over 14 years, I have grown critical of the communities I refer families to. That being said, I am delighted to refer the Weatherly Inn of Tacoma to families in need of Senior Living. From the staff, care, activities, dining and the ambiance; the Weatherly Inn has proven to be an excellent choice for many of the families that I advise.
