Life Plan Communities were established to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives. We want people to age in place and be able to stay in their homes, whether an apartment or a cottage and without the hardship of moving to a different location off-campus.

Our goal is to help residents stay involved and we do this through our wellness programs, our excellent culinary services, our curated social calendars and by providing a community where they feel secure surrounded by friends. This gives them the freedom to do more things, go more places, spend more time with family, visit more with friends and generally live a better life.

As older adults plan for their next chapter, they must consider how they will maintain their home and their health. A Life Plan Community provides peace of mind by providing access to health care alongside easing the burden of keeping up with the day-to-day tasks that come with homeownership. Studies show that older adults who choose to move to a Life Plan Community are happier and healthier.

Choosing a Life Plan Community also takes the stress of decision making off the shoulders of your family members and loved ones as they take comfort knowing you have access to all the services you need for every stage of your life. Life Plan Communities allow you to live with certainty.

In January 2021, Tacoma Lutheran Retirement Community rebranded to eliseo. The organization felt it outgrew their name and needed a name that would fully describe the scope of the community it has become and meet the wants and needs of the generation of older adults it must attract to remain relevant and strong.
