Avista Senior Living Yakima sits just half a mile north of Randall Park in Yakima, Washington, and has a warm feeling that people seem to notice when they walk in, with comfortable common areas like lounges, a library, and a movie room where residents can relax or gather with friends, and there's also a hair salon on site and cozy sitting areas for quieter moments. The apartments come as studios or one-bedrooms, all with kitchenettes, private mailboxes, space for keepsakes, and weekly laundry service, and most places allow pets so folks don't have to leave their companions behind. Outside, there's a beautiful porch and landscaped areas where you often find people visiting or just enjoying the fresh air.
The staff provides 24-hour care and a call system for emergencies, and nurses and healthcare providers work on-site to make sure residents get help when they need it, including medication management. Residents needing memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's disease receive support in a safe, welcoming part of the community, and the building suits those short-term respite care needs, too. Avista especially suits people who want assisted living, with help for activities like getting dressed or staying active, but it doesn't offer independent living or skilled nursing services.
Activities here keep people busy, and the weekly calendar fills up with things like Tai Chi, crafts, games, tea parties, and arts programs, plus outings to local restaurants, shops, scenic drives, and regular exercise classes in the fitness room. For folks who prefer quiet time, there are cozy common rooms, and scheduled transportation helps with trips off campus. Meals come from a kitchen that aims for tasty and thoughtful options, and wellness programs focus on promoting health, including a whirlpool and regular checkups. Pets are welcome, so the place always feels a bit more like home, and family visitors can see that people are encouraged to live as independently as possible, while knowing help is nearby whenever needed.
