The former Point Defiance Village is under new management and a new name: Solstice Senior Living at Tacoma.

The change is the result of a recently launched, national joint venture, Solstice Senior Living, between the property’s ownership group, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (NHI) and Integral Senior Living (ISL), a provider of senior living management services.

Lori Taylor, Solstice’s regional director of sales and marketing, said that “aside from getting used to a new name, residents, associates, family members and community friends should not expect any disruption in their day-to-day experiences.”

Solstice Senior Living has assumed management of 32 NHI-owned independent living communities nationally. Each will be rebranded under the Solstice umbrella, with Carlsbad, Calif.-based ISL providing management expertise and NHI maintaining business and real estate ownership of each property.

Solstice Senior Living at Tacoma is located at 6414 North Park Way. More information is available at www.solsticeattacoma.com for more information.

Gerald “Gerry” Jackson has been named Solstice’s senior vice president. He has 30 years of experience in senior and assisted living.
