Overview of RiverWest Senior Living

RiverWest Senior Living offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in Wenatchee, WA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space; Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care; and respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The combination may suit a resident who wants independent living now and may later need assisted living without moving to another community. With 56 beds, RiverWest Senior Living is a smaller community where staff and residents get to know each other.

The starting price is $800, although the available pricing information does not assign that figure to a specific care type. Room options include studios, one bedroom units, and two bedroom units, with a studio providing one private space and a two bedroom unit potentially suiting a couple moving together.

Pets are allowed, so a resident can keep a pet after moving in. Residents also have access to a salon, covered verandas, and walking paths with panoramic views, offering places for personal grooming and outdoor walks.

A Walk Score of 89 places the area in the very walkable band. Most errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently.
