Federal Way Medical Facilities

Nursing homes will have their own medical equipment and staff to provide ongoing healthcare to residents on a daily basis. However, for emergency situations, nursing homes in Federal Way may choose to send their residents for care at nearby St. Francis Hospital.

Serving the Federal Way community since 1987, the hospital has recently remodeled their emergency care department and expanded it with the addition of a 14-bed critical care unit to care for critically ill patients who need intensive monitoring by specially-trained medical personnel. St. Francis, part of the Franciscan healthcare system, also offers patients spiritual counseling upon request.

St. Francis offers a wide range of medical services to accommodate your loved one’s needs but is specifically recognized for their orthopedic surgery services. The hospital’s successful Joint Camp program aids patients before, during and after receiving surgery to replace hips and knees affected by trauma or arthritis.
