  For six years, my mother was a very happy resident at the Weatherly Inn in Tacoma. She recently passed away at the age of 101. The Weatherly staff was so respectful, thoughtful, considerate, and compassionate when and after my mother quietly passed away in her sleep. Her health was generally good, but when issues arose, the Weatherly staff were quick to spot them, alert the family, and help arrange for her to get medical assistance. During one episode, the doctors were reluctant to honor my mother's POSLT (Portable Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) form, pushing for no treatment (no medical treatment, hydration, or food) and offering comfort treatment only. We insisted that the form be honored that required food and medical treatment but no “heroics” (my words, not the term in the form), because that is what my mother chose. She could have chosen the option that the doctors were pushing. But she did not make that choice. The doctors reluctantly released her, but only if she was in Hospice care at the Weatherly. So, she returned to the Weatherly under Hospice care, and the Weatherly was delighted to have her return. The family had to be with her at each meal to feed her because she could not feed herself. The staff would happily and eagerly do the same when family members were not available. She gained enough strength to feed herself and continued to feed herself to live for another few years. The Hospice staff terminated my mother’s care because she was living a normal life for someone in her late nineties, approaching one hundred. We believe she lived another two or three years because of the Weatherly staff. They extended her life long enough for my mother to meet her only great granddaughter whose births were one hundred years apart. The food in the Weatherly dining room food quality was excellent as well, with the kitchen staff and servers willingly providing meals. They learned what my mother preferred, and they would assure her preferred food was available

  If I could go higher than 5 stars I would. My parents have been at the Weatherly for over 3 years now. Community and Family is how I would describe the culture and the care that has been provided by the team there. The community of residents watches out for and supports each other as they go through the life events of the twilight years. My father passed recently, leaving my mother behind. The ladies of the Weatherly have come alongside her. Sharing in her grief and encouraging her to continue through the activities provided. The Weatherly team has been an extended family. The feeling I get, is they consider what they do is more than duty of employment it is sincere personal caring for the individual resident. With my father’s passing the condolences and memories they have communicated are evidence they truly care on a personal level. Finding a place that is supportive and provides a place where your parent or elderly loved one can thrive can be daunting. We found one at the Weatherly.
