Magic Hands is an adult family home in Tacoma, WA, serving Pierce County, where seniors live in private residential houses with ten or fewer beds, so people get to know each other and feel less like they're in a big facility and more like they're at home, and the setting is quiet, safe, and focused on comfort. The staff at Magic Hands provide 24-hour care, with nurses on staff, a doctor and nurse on call, and access to different health professionals like a podiatrist, dentist, and therapists for physical, occupational, or speech needs, and they help with daily needs like grooming, bathing, and eating. Magic Hands gives care for many situations, including Alzheimer's care, hospice care, short-term care, respite care, high acuity care, and non-ambulatory care, and there's medication management and help for those with diabetes or incontinence. Residents can enjoy both indoor and outdoor common areas, spend time in patios with their peers and sometimes with pets, and there are raised garden beds and even horses on the grounds, creating a space that's both active and soothing, and beauty and barber services keep folks feeling good about themselves. Meals are prepared every day, and snacks are always available if anyone gets hungry between meals, and housekeeping, laundry, and shopping help are all included, so residents can focus on their well-being. Magic Hands organizes different activities like games, library reading, monthly magazines, cable TV, birthday and seasonal parties, country drives, and field trips, and there are special therapies including pet therapy to lift spirits and support mental health. The staff helps residents keep their independence, and there's support for medicine, doctor visits, and all the basics, so families know their loved ones are getting thoughtful, individual attention in a comfortable, welcoming place that feels like a real home, where visiting hours run from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, which suits most family routines.
Good staff, serious safety concerns
I placed my mother here and overall I feel relieved - the manager is wonderful, many staff are kind, it's clean, relaxed, and the grounds and open interiors are excellent for walkers with lots of outings. They also protected us from bullying around power of attorney. That said, there's no RN/LPN, one staff member behaved dangerously (stepped on a resident), and the van driver has driven unsafely (even a speeding ticket while transporting a wheelchair) - serious safety concerns. Food is terrible and dietary needs aren't always followed, storage and activities are limited, prices keep rising, but the caring, family-like staff (George knows all the local donut shops) made the transition easy.
