Solista of Walla Walla by Cogir provides two primary care options: independent living and a dedicated program for residents living with dementia. For those in memory care, staff are trained to cue, redirect, and monitor residents whose cognitive conditions require specialized oversight. Residents who need help with activities of daily living—bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting—receive hands-on assistance delivered according to individual care plans. While the community does not operate as a skilled-nursing facility, it maintains relationships with outside medical professionals, and families can arrange for third-party services such as physical therapy, primary care visits, or hospice when needed.
Beyond hands-on care, Solista of Walla Walla emphasizes structure and safety. An Activity Director designs daily cognitive and recreational programs that also serve as informal wellness checks. Staff track attendance at meals and activities as an additional layer of monitoring, and emergency call systems are in place in resident apartments and common areas. Scheduled transportation helps residents keep medical and therapy appointments off-site, reducing missed visits and providing continuity of care.
Apartments at the community vary in size and layout, offering options that may include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, or both; not every unit has every feature, so it is important to review floor plans during a tour. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the standard package, relieving residents of routine chores. When it comes to dining, three daily meals are served in the main dining room, with snacks available throughout the day and a private dining room that can be reserved for family gatherings.
Independent-living residents can opt for additional à-la-carte services. Housekeeping for IL, Laundry for IL, and a Monthly Meal Plan for IL allow these residents to tailor support levels without moving to a higher tier of care. This flexibility lets independent residents stay self-sufficient while knowing extra help is immediately available if circumstances change.
On the amenities side, Solista of Walla Walla offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, internet access, communal gardens, a library, and on-site religious services. Transportation is provided for shopping trips, medical appointments, and community outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
