Sun Terrace Hermiston offers assisted living as its primary level of care and can adapt services for short-term or respite stays. Residents who need help managing diabetes, support through a structured mental-wellness program, or simple day-to-day assistance can receive it without relocating. Families looking for a break in caregiving can schedule respite periods that include the same monitoring and support available to long-term residents.
The community keeps licensed nursing staff on site for 12 to 16 hours each day, backs that coverage with an emergency call system, and coordinates regular rounding for medication management, wound care, incontinence support, and ambulatory assistance. Hospice services are available when needed, and a dedicated memory-care component is in place for residents who develop cognitive impairments. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are part of the care package, limiting the number of outside appointments residents and families must manage.
Accommodation options range from studio layouts to larger units with kitchenettes, balconies, or patios. Many apartments are cable-ready, wired for Wi-Fi, and equipped with wheelchair-accessible showers, but features vary by floor plan, so not every room includes every element. The building maintains indoor common areas, a library and computer lounge, and easy access to landscaped grounds and outdoor sitting areas. Resident parking, uncovered guest parking, and designated spaces for cats help streamline visits and pet ownership.
Dining emphasizes choice and consistency. Three meals are prepared daily by a professional chef, with vegetarian, low-sodium, and no-sugar-added selections clearly labeled. A private dining room may be reserved for family events, and staff can arrange guest meals with advance notice. Between meal periods residents have access to healthy snacks, and seasonal barbecues or picnics are scheduled when weather permits to encourage social interaction.
Recreational and wellness programming is organized around an activity center that hosts clubs, social outings, on-site activities, and holiday or birthday celebrations. The community schedules health and wellness sessions, lifelong-learning presentations, karaoke events, and swimming opportunities to keep residents engaged.
