Alaska Gardens Health and Rehabilitation Services

Alaska Gardens Health and Rehabilitation Services sits in Tacoma, Washington, and has been serving people for several years with skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and both palliative and hospice care for residents who need those supports, which means folks can stay a while if they need long-term help or just for a short recovery after hospital stays, and those looking for memory care will find programs for Alzheimer's and dementia right there too, all backed by licensed nurses, therapists, and other trained staff working day and night, so there's always help if someone needs it. The place has private and semi-private rooms in a secured area meant to prevent wandering and keep residents safe, and with 123 licensed beds and Medicare certification as a Skilled Nursing Facility under WCC Evergreen Healthcare LLC, Alaska Gardens can handle a large variety of needs from daily care with meals, housekeeping, and laundry, to specialized medical treatments like wound care, IV therapy, catheter care, and even off-site dialysis. Folks recovering from surgery or illness may receive physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and for those who need it, the staff sets up personal care plans focused on both physical health and emotional well-being, knowing that everyone's different and needs different types of support, from managing medicines to help with bathing and eating. The memory care unit keeps a close eye on those with memory problems and has daily planned activities, common meal areas, and social events, always in a safe, locked, and alarmed area with 24-hour staff. Alaska Gardens doesn't ignore fun or social needs, so people who live there-or stay for a little while-can join daily events, exercise groups, and activities designed to jog memories or help folks spend time with others, and that goes for both long-term and respite stays, since the community tries to foster a warm and welcoming environment. Over the years, the community's earned a good reputation for compassionate staff and high-quality care, always working toward the goal of returning folks home when possible or, if not, giving them comfort and dignity through all stages of care.
