Assisted Living Communities in Yakima, WA

"The Terraces at Summitview was very nice and reasonable. I went there to visit a friend and I really liked the place a lot better than the rest of them. There's nothing that I don't like. It's newer, it's nice, and it had a lot of space. They've got nice people. It's just a pleasant place to go. The staff was very nice. It was clean. The residents looked happy. There are restaurants and shopping areas right across the street. The dining area was nice and big, and it's very clean and bright. They have activities, but I didn't ask about it; I've read about it."

"My dad is at Good Samaritan Health Care Center. It is a great facility. They are very helpful and accommodating. The food is good, and it is what it is. The staff is very nice and comforting. You can ask them anything you want. If they don't know the answer, they will find somebody else that can help you better. They have yarn activities, movie nights, and a bunch of other activities."

"Avamere at Englewood Heights was more of an older facility. It wasn't quite as new, but the layout was really good. It was medium-sized facility. The room was nice and a little bit more comfortable. The staff was really good, too. They had a recreation area where they could play pool, ping pong, or have a conversation. They had a section (it wasn't a huge section) that had a TV area, where people could watch TV, a movie, or play card games. They also had two small buses that they use to provide transportation for them."

"Cascades of Chesterley has helped my mom be around with people. She seems a lot happier now and more relaxed. People have just been really great with her. They have church services on Sunday afternoons, which have been very important for her. She is getting good meals. It's been a pretty positive experience so far. They treat the residents really well. They were doing some major remodeling, so they're trying to upgrade the facility. She loves reading, and they have a group where they get together and discuss stuff."

"Mom has been at Highgate for about a year, and it has made a huge difference in her life. Living alone, no transportation she was was feeling isolated. Being a vegetarian also had challenges, but not for the cook at Highgate, everyday there is always a soup and fresh food for her. Mom feels important and the caregivers are TOP notch, very caring, She is starting to make friends and going on the bus rides. This is an amazing place, and know as she will be needing more help it is not a problem to add services that fit your needs. "

"Mother-in-law spent her last year at Apple Creek. She was very well cared for and we appreciate the love and tenderness the staff gave her. "

"I like the homey feel of Izzy's Adult Family Home. When we walked in, it didn't seem like a hospital. It had some nice little plants, little things on the wall, and nice little paintings. It was decorated very well, but it wasn't auspicious. They weren't putting on like, 'Whoa, we're the best,' it was more like, 'Welcome to our home.' It was very welcoming. The person that came and talked to us was very nice. When we took Dad to it, they talked to Dad instead of talking to us because they knew Dad was the person that was going to be living there, even though they were giving him information that he didn't remember. They were respectful to him. In the other places, when we took Dad, they didn't even talk to Dad. They just dealt with us because we were going to pay them the money, that's what it felt like. Izzy's Adult Family Home was very caring. I loved how clean it was. The rooms were very clean. The bathrooms were very clean. They had different types of equipment like lifting equipment and showering equipment that we saw, and that was nice to know because Dad's going to need help being lifted. There's 24-hour care. There is a button that he pushes so that they can come and help him. Like if Dad has to go to the bathroom at night, he just pushes the button and they come and help him. There are only six people that live in the house. The kitchen was right off of the gathering area. They also have a place where they would gather to do crafts and watch TV. The kitchen was visible, so anytime that the people were in that room and the caregivers were cooking, they could see everybody, so I thought that was very nice. Everything was visible. That whole area was visible. It was just a homey feeling, like we were in somebody's house. The staff communicated everything. She told us everything. She was very open to questions and had all the answers to any of our questions. She was wonderful. They were cooking when we were there and the place smelled so good. They were having spaghetti and meatballs and French bread and a garden salad, and it looked delicious. I think it was great."

"Riverview Manor is the "Cream of the Crop" Memory care Facility In my opinion. The Staff is thoughtful, helpful and very caring towards the residents and their families. Any concerns are quickly addressed. May it be a problem with a toilet in the room or a question in billing. Someone is always available. Needs of the residents are always met with compassion. Takes a special kind of person with a huge heart and angel wings to work here. Thank you to Melaine and all the staff for what you do."
