Brookdale Yakima

4100 West Englewood Avenue in Yakima, Washington is the address of an assisted living community where residents keep a private apartment and get personalized help with daily routines. Brookdale Senior Living operates the community, known as Brookdale Yakima. Residents decorate their own apartment and set their own pace for the day, with support available when it is wanted rather than a fixed schedule for everyone.

A staff team is available around the clock and can be alerted quickly if a resident needs help in an emergency. Housekeeping, laundry service and prepared meals are part of daily life, which removes several regular chores from a resident's plate. Families weighing assisted living often ask how staff decide when a resident needs more help than they are currently getting.

Yakima Valley is known for its wineries, and residents can take part in organized wine tours of local vineyards as one of many outings. The Yakima Greenway, a 10-mile trail along the Yakima River, is another option for residents who enjoy walking or being outdoors. Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital is among the hospitals nearby for medical appointments. Compare this listing with other assisted living communities in Yakima.

Programming follows Brookdale's Optimum Life approach, built around what each resident enjoys rather than one schedule for the whole building. A good question on a first visit is how the daily activity calendar is set and how often it changes with the seasons.
