Heritage Heights in Chelan, Washington, is an assisted-living community that concentrates on helping residents maintain health and function while still offering as much independence as possible. Licensed nursing staff oversee medication management, perform routine health assessments, and coordinate directly with each resident’s physicians to keep treatment plans up to date. Caregivers are on site around the clock to assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, and an emergency call system links every apartment to staff who can respond within minutes.
Beyond these medical services, the community develops individualized care plans that are reviewed regularly to make sure support levels stay appropriate as needs change. Scheduled transportation is available for outside medical appointments, and visiting physical, occupational, and speech therapists can treat residents in house when ordered by a physician. Short-term respite stays are accepted when space permits, and hospice coordination is offered so residents can remain in familiar surroundings if their condition advances.
Apartments range from studio layouts to one-bedroom units. Each residence includes a private bathroom with safety features such as grab bars and a walk-in shower, and most have kitchenettes, individual climate controls, basic cable, and Wi-Fi, though not all units include every feature. Weekly housekeeping and laundry service are standard, and maintenance staff handle repairs so residents do not need to manage household upkeep themselves.
The dining program provides three daily meals prepared on site, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to ensure nutritional balance. Residents order from several entrée choices at each meal, and therapeutic diets such as low-sodium or diabetic menus are available when prescribed. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and family members can purchase guest meals so they can dine alongside their loved ones in the community’s main dining room.
