Our Experience

My loved one's were previously residents at Gencare Lifestyle Tacoma at Point Ruston and overall their experience at this facility was good. The cleanliness and friendliness were good. The care services, meals, activities and value for cost were all very good. However, there were significant issues with staff turnover at this facility. The staff turnover was particularly noticeable in the nursing care office and in food service.

Recommend highly.

The staff at Gencare are very accommodating and working quite hard as we begin to come out of Covid. From the first day here, management has tried to handle any problems quickly and with all residents in mind.

My Tour Experience at Gencare Lifestyle Tacoma at Point Ruston

First, I eliminated Gencare Lifestyle immediately. I could not find parking in that chaotic environment. I cancelled my appointment because of this happening.

Needs some improvement but very nice facility

I would tell others to make sure they give them the medications the need and do their laundry - they aren't very good at that.
