When choosing a retirement community, I looked for one that was a non-profit entity. A non-profit does not have to raise prices to make sure shareholders get a dividend. It has been here in Tacoma for 99 years. The FTJ Board of Directors is unpaid. It is unique, not part of a nationwide or statewide chain. I live in the garden apartments, an independent living building. I know that as my needs change, I can move into the assisted living building.
The staff here are extraordinary. They are all polite, professional and competent. Whether I interact with housekeeping or maintenance staff or arrange with Food Service for a special meal event, they are caring people who go above and beyond. When I need a ceiling lightbulb changed or have a problem with the garbage disposal, the maintenance staff responds promptly and takes care of the problem.
My building has about 40 people. It is a congenial group who enjoys continental breakfasts together three days a week and a weekly happy hour. I can participate or not as I want. There are always scheduled activities on campus and a bus to take me to the Tacoma Symphony concerts. There are even waist high garden beds and a greenhouse for us gardeners.
In addition to being a nonprofit, having a great staff and an apartment I like, FTJ is located adjacent to Point Defiance Park, 700 acres with a zoo and several miles of hiking trails in old growth forest. I enjoy the magnificent gardens and feel like Lady Grantham as I browse among the roses and dahlias. Deer visit our campus daily and every spring there is a crop of new fawns. I could not have found a better place to retire to.
