What eliseo does

eliseo is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Life Plan Community (Continuing Care Retirement Community) located on a 28-acre campus in Tacoma, Washington, providing a full continuum of senior living services including independent living, assisted living, memory support, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation. Founded in 1938 as Tacoma Lutheran Retirement Community by area Lutheran congregations, the organization rebranded to eliseo in January 2021 to reflect its expanded scope beyond its original Lutheran identity. A major campus expansion completed in 2023 added 89 new independent living residences (Villas and Cascade Apartments) and supporting amenities including the LEED-certified Emerson Wellness & Clark Aquatic Center, Chihuly Family Arts Center, and a therapy gym described as one of the largest senior therapy gyms in the Pacific Northwest. The Health Center comprises 50 semi-private long-term care rooms and 50 private short-term rehabilitation rooms, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care plans.

Revenue is generated through a combination of refundable entrance fees (starting at $199,785 for independent living residences), recurring monthly service fees that have escalated 4.0-4.5% annually over the past five years, Type-C Life Plan Contracts offering discounted future healthcare costs, and ancillary services (dining, salon, transportation, wellness). The go-to-market is sales-led via an on-campus sales team, website inquiries, hospital discharge planner referrals, and 13 Lutheran/Presbyterian covenant church partnerships. Technology infrastructure includes a resident portal (portal.eliseo.org), Connected Care health records platform integration, and campus TV Channel 3 for chapel services. The organization is governed by a 14-member Board of Governors and operates an affiliated foundation (Futura Age Foundation).

The customer base is primarily individual seniors aged 62+ and their families, with the primary segment being active independent living residents. Secondary segments include assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing residents. The market is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, with no geographic expansion beyond the Tacoma metro. Operational scale spans 101-250 employees, and the organization is recognized with multiple regional awards including consecutive Showcase Magazine "Best Wellness Services" (2017-2022), U.S. News Best Nursing Homes (2022), and Great Place to Work certification (2025).

Scale indicators5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Brookdale Senior Living: Largest U.S. senior living operator with hundreds of communities across the country, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Competes with eliseo for the same pool of Pacific Northwest seniors but at a much larger scale and without eliseo's CCRC entrance fee model or faith-based positioning.
• Sunrise Senior Living: National assisted living and memory care operator with a strong presence in the Pacific Northwest. Comparable to eliseo in assisted living and memory care service lines, but operates for-profit at significant scale and lacks the CCRC entrance fee / skilled nursing / faith-based model.
• Atria Senior Living: Large national senior living operator (owned by Ventas REIT) with a significant Pacific Northwest footprint. Overlaps with eliseo in independent living, assisted living, and memory care offerings but does not operate CCRC entrance fee or skilled nursing at scale.

Direct peers

• Horizon House: Nonprofit CCRC in Seattle, WA, providing independent living, assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing. Directly comparable to eliseo in geography, mission, product mix, and entrance fee / Type-A contract model.
• Aegis Living: West Coast–focused assisted living and memory care operator with multiple communities in the Puget Sound region. Comparable to eliseo in target market (PNW seniors) and assisted living / memory support offerings, though operates for-profit and does not include skilled nursing or a Life Plan contract.
• Pacific Retirement Services: Nonprofit operator of multiple Life Plan Communities across the West Coast (including in Oregon and California). Highly comparable to eliseo in mission, CCRC model, and continuum-of-care services, though operates a multi-site portfolio rather than a single campus.
• Emerald Heights: Nonprofit Life Plan Community in Redmond, WA, offering a full continuum of care (independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing) on a single campus. Highly comparable to eliseo as a Pacific Northwest nonprofit CCRC with entrance fee model and faith-adjacent community roots.
• Era Living: Seattle-based nonprofit operator of multiple senior living communities in the Pacific Northwest offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Comparable to eliseo in mission, regional focus, and continuum-of-care service model, though multi-site rather than single-campus.
• Bayview Retirement Community: Nonprofit CCRC on Seattle's Capitol Hill, offering independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on a single campus. Comparable to eliseo as a faith-rooted, single-site Pacific Northwest CCRC with a long operating history.

Others

• Life Care Services: Largest U.S. manager of senior living communities, including many CCRCs and Life Plan Communities. Relevant peer because Life Care Services manages communities comparable in size, structure, and service mix to eliseo, and serves as a benchmark for operating performance in the nonprofit CCRC segment.
