Garden Village in Yakima offers licensed nursing-home care with round-the-clock registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. Residents have access to skilled services such as medication administration, wound management, IV therapy, diabetic monitoring, and post-surgical recovery. A rehabilitative team provides on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help residents regain or maintain functional abilities. The community also arranges regular visits from physicians, nurse practitioners, and other specialists to adjust treatment plans as needs change.
Additional medical support includes coordinated pharmacy services for timely delivery of prescriptions, routine lab and diagnostic testing arranged on site, and hospice or palliative care when required. An electronic health record system helps staff track vital signs and care notes, while an emergency call system links each resident directly to the nursing station. Care plans are reviewed at set intervals with family involvement to keep everyone informed. Short-term respite stays are available for caregivers who need temporary support, and the building meets all state regulations for infection control and safety.
Accommodations consist of private and shared rooms outfitted with basic furnishings, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and bathrooms designed for mobility assistance. Cable television, Wi-Fi access, and in-room emergency pull cords are offered, although not every room includes each of these features. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and maintenance are handled by staff, and common areas such as lounges, activity rooms, and secured outdoor patios give residents additional space to spend time with visitors or participate in programming. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared by culinary staff under the guidance of a registered dietitian. Menus rotate on a seasonal schedule and can be modified for low-sodium, diabetic, mechanical-soft, or other physician-ordered diets. Meals are served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, but tray service to the resident’s room is available during illness or recovery. Snacks and hydration stations are stocked throughout the day, and staff record intake for residents who require nutritional monitoring. Family members are welcome to join meals with advance notice and a nominal guest fee.
