Inspired Senior Living Options
Assisted Living Options in Yakima, Washington
Avista believes in empowering residents with the choices, opportunities, and freedom they need to start new hobbies, enjoy old passions, and make new friends to lead fuller, more vibrant lives.
It starts with top-notch personal care services to create a supportive foundation for our community. Our Yakima assisted living community provides residents with a cozy apartment, mouth-watering meals, and all the support they need when they need it. This level of care is ideal for older adults who need some help with activities of daily living, like dressing and medication management, but can otherwise navigate their daily lives on their own.
We don’t just offer stellar services, however. We also offer a full calendar of events, activities and crafts, and opportunities to forge friendships that allows each resident to have a productive, fun-filled day.
Other Senior Living Options from Avista
Avista Senior Living Communities offer the support services older adults and their families need. In addition to our assisted living services, we also offer respite care services and memory care services. Respite care is short-term care that is ideal for family caregivers who need a break from their responsibilities while getting peace of mind that their loved one is well-cared for. Memory care is perfect for any individual living with a dementia like Alzheimer’s disease.
Please note that Avista Senior Living does not offer skilled nursing care services (nursing home care) or independent living services.

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, safely 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
Avista believes that mealtime is more than just mealtime. It’s a time to connect with others, enjoy delicious and nutritious food, and connect with others. Residents can enjoy sit-down meals in our dining room with visiting relatives or they can have a made-to-order breakfast sent directly to their rooms. It’s all about choices that fuel the mind and body alike.
We invite prospective residents to enjoy a complimentary meal when visiting any of our Avista communities!

There is a very family like feel to the facility. All of the attendants and directors were very welcoming, and made us feel that they really cared about our father.

My mother-in-law has been doing good at this place. She gets good care from staff who are nice and respectful. The facility is clean to live at and visit.

Well these may not be Pinterest-perfect… but they’re definitely taste bud approved! 😄🍪Today’s baking adventure turned into a lesson in “perfectly imperfect” — a little extra jam here, a little extra love there, and a whole lot of laughs around the table. ❤️At the end of the day, it’s not about how they look… it’s about the memories we make (and how good they taste 😉).#WhereKindnessCounts #BakingWithLove #PerfectlyImperfect ...
