    Friendly staff, amenities; mixed value

    I toured this community and was impressed by the terrific, friendly staff, attractive exterior with well-kept decks and gardens, a pleasant lobby and lots of amenities (dining room, card rooms, library/media room, woodshop, activities like bingo/bunco and pool table). One-bedrooms are spacious with lots of storage, but several units seemed outdated (stained carpets/floors, need painting). Transportation is convenient (on a bus line; van trips to doctors) and staff offered to arrange a future tour, but there's a long waiting list, no guaranteed reservations, a two-year parking backlog, and a mandatory $400/month dinner fee despite limited/menu and occasional cold/overcooked meals, so overall value felt mixed.

    About Tahoma Terrace Apartments

    Tahoma Terrace Apartments sits at 2602 S Union Ave in Tacoma, WA, as a community meant for folks age 62 and up who want independent living with a bit of help nearby if needed, and you'll find that it's a pet-friendly spot, which is good news for animal lovers, and these apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom sizes, all feeling open and offering good storage, with some rooms looking out over pleasant territorial views, and meal plans are available so residents can eat in the dining room where the food comes prepared by chefs and meal planners, and there's WiFi internet throughout the complex for those who like to stay connected, plus regular activities like bingo, bunco, and pool for entertainment and socializing. There's a nice sense of community here, as folks gather in shared spaces like the community room, card room, library, art studio, hobby shop, and wood shop, and if you need to get somewhere, they've got a mini bus and van rides for doctor visits, and you can also catch public transport since the building's right on a bus line, and you're close to area cafes, parks, restaurants, places of worship, theaters, hospitals, pharmacies, and doctors too, making it pretty convenient. The staff get described as kind, helpful, and quick to reply, and a registered nurse runs a nurse station offering basic health care on site, with services like laundry and housekeeping either included or available if needed, so daily chores don't have to be a worry unless you want to do them yourself. Residents also have access to a beauty salon, laundry facilities, well-kept gardens and decks outside for fresh air, and there are options for families to get support from a senior living advisor affiliated with A Place For Mom, who can help answer questions or walk families through the process at no extra charge. The apartments have features meant to create comfort and security, while the activities and gathering rooms help residents build friendships, feel safe, and stay active, and although prices aren't shared publicly, amenities and extra services may affect costs, especially for those who need more care such as for memory issues or regular daily help. People have given this place high review scores-some at 8.5 out of 10 or higher-and there's a brochure with extra details if you need it, while the official business hours go from early morning into the evening, so staff are usually around.
