What this means for your family
Eliseo is an excellent choice for independent living, offering a robust social calendar and high-quality amenities. However, if you are considering the facility for skilled nursing or rehab, proceed with extreme caution; multiple families have reported severe issues with medication management, call-light response times, and communication. We strongly recommend visiting the specific unit your loved one will occupy and asking for direct contact information for the unit's nursing leadership.

106 reviews on Google“Eliseo (formerly Tacoma Lutheran) offers a stark contrast between its highly-rated independent living villas and its struggling skilled nursing and rehab units. While independent residents praise the vibrant community, amenities, and friendly staff, families of residents in rehab and memory care frequently report serious concerns regarding neglect, poor communication, and understaffing. Prospective families should carefully distinguish between the experiences of independent living and the clinical care units.”
