Overview of Garden Terrace Healthcare Center at Federal Way

Garden Terrace Healthcare Center at Federal Way is a 70 bed nursing home and assisted living community in Federal Way, Washington, with 65% occupancy. It offers skilled nursing, hospice, palliative, and respite care, giving families several care options in one setting.

Staff type
Hours / day / resident
vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.

+74% State avg: 53m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
58m
+19% State avg: 49m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.

12m
+132% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
