Good Samaritan Health Care Ctr in Yakima operates as a nursing‐home community, providing residents with around-the-clock skilled nursing oversight. Short-term respite stays are available for caregivers who need temporary support, and an on-site physical therapy team works with residents on strength, balance, and post-surgical recovery goals. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly by licensed clinicians to align with each resident’s medical needs and physician directives.
The community is equipped with an emergency call system that links residents directly to staff at any hour, supporting quick response to urgent situations. Care teams are present 24/7, handling medication management, daily monitoring, and coordination with outside physicians and specialists as needed. This infrastructure aims to reduce hospital readmissions and maintain consistent health oversight within the facility.
Resident accommodations include studio and efficiency layouts, and some rooms are pet friendly. Select units feature cable TV, Wi-Fi access, and views of landscaped grounds, while housekeeping services and access to outdoor areas are standard. Because floor plans and features vary, not every accommodation contains every listed amenity, and availability depends on current inventory.
The dining program offers three daily meals prepared to meet general nutritional guidelines and physician-ordered diets. Staff monitor intake and hydration and can provide modified textures for those with swallowing concerns. Meals are served in a communal setting to encourage social interaction, and room-service delivery is available for residents who are temporarily unable to leave their rooms.
Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, organized clubs and community groups, and regularly scheduled arts and crafts sessions. Health and wellness programs include exercise classes and educational workshops, and planned social outings allow residents to stay engaged with the Yakima area.
