The Terraces at Summitview sits on 10 acres at 3801 Summitview Avenue in Yakima, WA, where the grounds have flower beds, walking paths, private courtyards, and even places for residents to garden if they want to. The community has a small-town, neighborly feel, and you'll notice the friendly atmosphere right when you visit. As a nonprofit, The Terraces at Summitview puts focus on helping residents with disabilities or all sorts of illnesses, including those who need memory care because they're living with Alzheimer's or other dementia. People can get a range of care here-there's independent living for folks who don't need help, assisted living with support for things like bathing and grooming, and skilled nursing for those who need more hands-on health supervision or even recovery after an illness or hospitalization, which is unique in Yakima to have all that on one campus.
Amenities include things like a beauty salon, café, weekly housekeeping, laundry, linen service, all utilities with phone and cable TV, and even guest apartments so out-of-town family can visit. They've got a theater room, fitness programs including water fitness classes, social and spiritual services, and community gardens, which locals enjoy. Residents get three chef-prepared meals each day, with special diets covered, and if they need help with getting to appointments or moving around, services and transportation are available. Suites are designed for privacy and comfort, with full bathrooms and emergency call systems; the staff keep things secure 24/7.
Care is set up to match each resident's needs, with licensed nurses on call round the clock, medication management, health monitoring, and help with things like wound care, diabetes (except injections), oxygen, incontinence, and catheter needs. There's regular help with daily tasks, social work, and a focus on well-being, connection, and personal security. Prospective residents can schedule tours to meet people, see the amenities, talk with staff, and get a feel for life at The Terraces. Pricing and availability info are available by request, and the staff will walk you through the options, since the campus offers so many-from independent rentals to higher care as needed, making it easy to stay in one place even if your care needs change. This place used to be called Living Care Retirement Community, and now it's a HumanGood Life Plan Community, so it's got a long record in the area and sticks to its promise of community, support, and progressive care all on one trusted campus in Yakima.
