Orchard Park in Yakima, WA offers an Independent Living setting with targeted medical capabilities. The community can administer and monitor oxygen therapy, accommodate physician-ordered special diets, and welcome adults under the age of 60 who meet admission criteria. While the residence does not provide dedicated dementia support, staff are trained to coordinate routine health needs and to alert outside medical professionals if a resident’s requirements change.
Additional daily-living support is available for those who need occasional help. Team members can assist with self-care tasks such as bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they can provide safe transfers for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs. An on-site Activity Director oversees programming to promote social interaction and fitness, and staff maintain regular wellness checks to ensure that each resident’s care plan stays current.
Apartments at Orchard Park may include a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service, though not every unit offers every feature. Layouts are designed for step-free movement and easy access to common areas so residents can choose the amount of privacy or community involvement they prefer.
Dining emphasizes choice and nutrition. Three chef-prepared meals are served daily in the main dining room, and the culinary team is accustomed to producing menus that meet low-sodium, diabetic, or other special dietary requirements. A private dining room is available for family gatherings or small celebrations, giving residents a place to host visitors without leaving the building.
Residents can take advantage of on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible entrances, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a dedicated movie room, reliable internet access, communal gardens, and a well-stocked library. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
