Research Confirms Senior Living Health Benefits
An informative overview of research-backed health benefits of senior living, highlighting how community environments can improve access to care, reduce hospitalizations, and support longer, healthier lives.
Benefits Of Assisted Living
Finding the right assisted living community takes time, and you need to be prepared to make a move in advance. The following benefits to assisted living can help you and your family members look forward to your next chapter in life.
1. Transportation services
At some point, owning a vehicle is just too much of a hassle. Our assisted living community offers reliable transportation to local shopping, events, and doctor appointments. Trusted transport gets residents where they need to go precisely when they need to go, and on time.
2. Healthier, happier future
Moving into assisted living is a move into a lifestyle that promotes healthy senior living, and opens up many options for the future. Each resident has a custom care plan regularly evaluated by our medical team. If needs should change over time, we see it as it happens, resulting in early diagnosis and, inevitably, better treatment options for the future.
3. Peace of mind
The things we do and how we work together create the ultimate and most important benefit – peace of mind. Friends and family of residents can rest easy, knowing their loved one is well cared for in a home-like environment. Our residents themselves rest at ease knowing that they have the support they need available for them every day.
4. Prevents social isolation
Seniors living at home alone are at a higher risk for social isolation and increased feelings of loneliness and depression. At our community, our residents live in a dynamic community environment with friends and staff who encourage participation in events and socialization. It is an excellent opportunity for residents to make new friends, get to know the staff, and feel connected to a larger community of people in the same chapter of life.
5. 24/7 compassionate care
Residents in our community receive personalized care to ensure that all their needs are being met. Our staff members are well-trained to provide the attention and care that our residents need with compassion.
6. A focus on independence and fun
While our community is a great place to receive care, we place a big emphasis on independence and fun. We know that fun is an essential part of aging gracefully, and our community has a variety of fun activities.
7. Free time
It’s due time to put aside the housework, yard work, and home maintenance. There is no more shoveling the snow, mowing the lawn, or repairing the house. Enjoy hassle-free senior care where you don’t have to worry about the cleaning or the cooking anymore. It’s our pleasure to do the work for each of our residents, allowing them to find a hobby or invest more time into a lifelong interest.
8. Delicious dining
Healthy residents are happy residents, and the meals served at our community are specifically created to benefit senior health. Cooking for yourself can be challenging, especially if you are alone. With nutritious meals prepared by our chefs, residents in our community enjoy delicious meals packed with nutrients. Our elegant dining room encourages mealtimes with friends, making each meal more than "just a meal", but a social event.
Share A Meal With Us
Our dining program is a point of pride for Avista.
For us, a dining program should concentrate on nourishing not just the body, but also the mind. Our culinary team works with residents to create meals that are not only nutritious, but also delicious. We want residents to have the freedom to try new meals with others in our dining room, or to enjoy an old, favorite meal that reminds them of their childhood in the privacy of their room.
We invite prospective residents to enjoy a complimentary meal when visiting any of our Avista care homes and communities!
Activities
We work with residents to deliver the services and amenities they want to lead an active lifestyle that nourishes both the mind and the body. Our calendar of events has it all, from organized outings to wellness classes, and more. Plus, all of these extras are included in monthly rent.
Surrounding Area
Located in Pierce County, Washington, our community's residents come to us from in and around Sumner, including nearby cities like Puyallup, Bonney Lake, Tacoma, Buckley, and Auburn.

Testimonials
Randy Q
Avista has been a breath of fresh air. After 3 years at a facility that seldom managed to deliver the basics in their contract, Avista has been welcoming, warm, clean and well maintained. The staff has learned my dad’s quirks and sometimes gruff personality and is communicative, helpful and kind. They are also present, in the building and have a great understanding and rapport with all the residents.
Jonathan Y
The process of enrolling my 90 year old father in the Avista Senior Living Sumner facility was easy and straightforward. Once my father moved in, the staff cared for him in a very caring and professional manner. His stay was very brief but the care and attention provided to him was unabated. I wholeheartedly commend the staff and recommend this facility.
Loved one of a resident
My loved one is enjoying himself with the activities that they are doing and what all they are able to do due to covid. I would highly recommend this community. I feel that it is worth every penny.
Audrey F
I think because of the really good care she’s receiving, my loved one’s health has improved dramatically. It’s a very calm place to be. One of the things that is most impressive is the friendliness of the workers. They’re very good at what they do, very helpful to my loved one, and very pleasant and informative to me as a visitor…Their cost was a little lower than other places in the area, but the care is amazing. I’ve worked in the industry before, and It’s the total package here. I can tell that the employees are happy, and that speaks very highly of itself.
Loved one of a resident
While first viewing the property, I noticed that it was very nice, clean, homey, and it had a very good feeling to it. This is why I chose it. They seem to have a whole list of things to do at the facility, which is posted in the lobby to keep everyone updated on what is going on during certain days. They do provide transportation as well to go to outings and doctor’s appointments. The food there is fine in my opinion. The have a menu that changes daily, and if you don’t like what is being served on a certain day, there is a set menu to order from to replace it…I would recommend this location to others.
Loved one of a resident
The staff are friendly and will help us in anyway they are able to. Mom seems to like the food. She is enjoying the daily activities offered. The community is really beautiful inside and out. They have a nice courtyard with a community garden. This is a smaller community so it is easier for mom to get around. I would recommend this community.
Loved one of a resident
My loved one has a beautiful studio with a great view of the lake right outside his window. The housekeeping team has done an excellent job at always making sure my dads room stays comfortable and clean for him. I have no complaints about this community and would recommend it.
