Heartwood Extended Health Care

Heartwood Extended Health Care sits at 1649 E 72nd St, Tacoma, Washington, and has served the community since 1986 with 120 licensed beds in a family-owned setting, and you'll also find a location at 303 Cleveland Ave. SE, Ste. 102, Tumwater, Washington. Heartwood offers skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent living each with options for long-term and short-term stays, and the staff of 29 gives care day and night, helping with daily activities, health needs, or recovery after surgery or illness. The nursing and rehab center has 24/7 care and services like wound care, respiratory skilled nursing, memory care, IV therapy, pain management, addiction recovery care, and palliative or hospice care, so there's always specialized help for residents when they need it most. People can get primary care, lab work, and other medical support on-site, plus there are therapies-physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory-run by trained staff that help with everything from walking better to improving speech and daily tasks, and there are custom treatment plans for each person, looking at the full range of physical, mental, and social needs. Heartwood encourages social engagement and personal interests with music therapy, pet therapy, sensory classes, arts and crafts, cooking, group outings, and big events like holiday banquets or picnics, and there's always a chance to join a dinner club, sing during church services, take part in wine evenings, or just talk with friends in one of the well-appointed dining rooms or choose in-room dining if someone prefers quiet. Memory support programs and self-feeding programs help residents maintain dignity and independence, while the social services department gives counseling and the recreation therapy team keeps folks moving and engaged. Heartwood Extended Health Care, which is owned by WCC Evergreen Healthcare LLC, does its best to offer a full range of medical, recreational, and everyday support so residents can feel safe and involved, whether someone needs a short stay for rehab or a long stay with more help each day.
