About Brookdale Allenmore IL
Life at Brookdale Allenmore in Tacoma, Washington, will look a little different than life at home—but we have a feeling you’ll like it. When you move into our independent living community, you can say goodbye to the worries of mundane tasks like grocery shopping, cleaning the house and maintaining the yard. Instead of spending your time checking those items off your to-do list, you can spend your days befriending new and interesting people, discovering new hobbies and investing time in the people and things you love most. Imagine what it would be like to wake up and savor a warm cup of coffee or tea in a comfortable, sunny apartment that’s spacious enough to host your grandchildren. Or maybe you would rather linger on the balcony or in your favorite armchair with a good book to start your day.

You have options, like: · Take an invigorating yoga class with your friends · Experience the warmth of nature's solitude on one side of the community and the convenience of a lively cityscape, with medical, dining and shopping options on the other · Dive into your latest novel in the comfort of your sunny apartment · Enjoy one of our community excursions to Ruston Way Waterwalk, Owen Beach and other local attractions The hardest part of your day might just be squeezing in all the fun things you want to do!

PositiveOverall a good place to live

CriticalA decent place for mom
Everyone has been very nice to my mom since she's been there. Apartment size and outdoor space for each apartment is the best attribute. The building is older and repairs are needed here and there, but overall it's clean and maintenance has been helpful when needed. The activities have been hit and miss and that's disappointing. The food seems to be cooked onsite, not from pre packaged meals, which is a plus. They've had a lot of turnover in the service area and lunches and dinners are slow to be served and service…
