Review

Across a chorus of voices, Tacoma Nursing Rehab (TNR) emerges in these notes as a place where dedicated staff and moments of genuine compassion sit alongside ongoing challenges and hard realities of care. Many residents and family members repeatedly point to the same heartening through-lines: courteous, professional behavior from nurses and CNAs; a central supply team that keeps operations steady; and a sense that, for the most part, people who work there genuinely care about the people they serve. The praise is not universal, but it is persistent, with particular staff members singled out by name for their influence on residents' daily lives.

Several staff members stand out repeatedly in these reflections for the care and instruction they provide. Angela H. (often referred to as Angela Hadway) is highlighted as an outstanding CNA teacher whose patience and thoroughness helped a trainee learn what she needed to know and who genuinely cares about residents' well-being. Deja receives specific commendation for excellent wound-care education, while the social worker Jane Kinyua is praised for her expertise and supportive approach. Kim, the central supply "woman," is celebrated for knowing what she's doing and ensuring that essential tasks get done smoothly. Beyond these, residents mention Sidney the nurse, Curtis, Larry, Anna, Tanya, Andrea, Jessica, Margaret, and Jaci as having meaningful, professional impacts on their care. Alex is appreciated for a smile and for coordinating appointments and escort rides, even as some staff transitions - such as Jaime, a former employee who was noted for his help with diet and common-sense advice - shape the ongoing tapestry of the facility's caregiving team.

The social and therapeutic fabric of the facility is also described in positive terms. The social services department is portrayed as going above and beyond to align residents' current and future needs with appropriate resources, and to help families navigate transitions. There is pride taken in the range of activities offered - social, motivational, therapeutic, and creative - that keep residents engaged. The food program is mentioned as having a good variety on the menu and an ability to accommodate dietary restrictions or alternative requests, which adds to the sense of a living, attentive community. Several residents describe forming meaningful friendships during their stay, and for some, the experience feels like an absolute blessing, strengthened by both practical support and moments of spiritual or emotional uplift. One resident even describes the presence of God in the building and speaks of testimonies that underscore the facility's human warmth alongside its professional care.

There are also vivid stories of personal recovery and transformation that anchor the more positive voices. One resident recounts arriving after a car accident and finding a rehabilitation path that enabled walking with a walker, healing wounds, and ultimately a sense of hope about returning home. The nurse Sidney is singled out as amazing in supporting recovery, with social services helping to plan a safe home return with family involvement. Another resident describes a family member moving in and finding the staff to be very kind and responsive, even as they acknowledge the facility's overall strength and the pride the family takes in the care their loved one receives. In these accounts, the facility feels like a place where skilled professionals can make a meaningful difference in a resident's life, sometimes turning a difficult situation into a step toward home or improved well-being.

Yet, alongside the many affirmations, there are strong cautions and critique that cannot be ignored. A number of reviewers allege serious, ongoing problems at the facility on multiple levels. Nutrition is described as inadequate, with meals perceived as low in protein and fiber and high in carbohydrates, and with several meals reported as cold and reheated by nurses rather than served hot. Call button response times are criticized as excessively long, with voices describing waits of up to 45 minutes, including during the night when attention is most needed. There are alarming claims of medication errors - being given the wrong medicines on multiple occasions - and concerns about nurses waking residents abruptly for medications or other reasons without clear explanations. Personal privacy and safety are also called into question, with accounts of staff entering rooms without knocking, or knocking in a way that startles residents. The overall care environment is depicted as sometimes stressful and chaotic, with a few "bad apples" in the mix who seem to spoil the experience for others.

The most detailed and emotionally charged critique centers on a user's update about experiences that followed an initial review. A specific memory of stress and perceived inadequacy in handling a financial matter - getting to a bank to transfer funds for rent and other bills - illustrates a broader concern about how residents feel supported beyond direct medical care. The reviewer recounts a claim that staff offered a ride to the bank in exchange for a higher rating, which they refute, stating that such an exchange would never happen. The narrative then escalates into a litany of ongoing problems: a frequently broken ice machine, difficulty obtaining basic assistance to meet daily needs (such as obtaining ice when transport is an obstacle), and a long and painful medical history that underscores the vulnerability of residents. This update also touches on the facility's communication style and a perceived reluctance to offer transparent, proactive help, while still acknowledging occasional standout staff members and moments of genuine care. The tone reflects a tense calculus between gratitude for those who do well and frustration with systemic gaps that leave residents feeling underserved or unsafe.

Taken together, these notes paint a nuanced portrait of Tacoma Nursing Rehab: a place where warmth, competence, and a sense of community can coexist with significant, hard-hitting concerns about nutrition quality, response times, medication safety, privacy, and overall day-to-day management. The stories of Angela H., Deja, Jane Kinyua, Sidney, Kim, and many other staff members highlight a foundation of professional dedication and personal connection that can brighten a resident's days and bolster a family's trust. At the same time, the recurring criticisms remind readers that even a well-meaning team can be strained by resource limitations, systemic issues, and the demanding realities of long-term care. The overall narrative is one of strong human effort - people who care deeply about their residents - and a need for ongoing attention to safety, nutrition, communication, and environmental improvements to ensure that compassion is matched by consistently reliable care.
