Overview of Avamere at Englewood Heights

Facebook LinkedIn

Avamere at Englewood Heights offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Yakima, WA. In assisted living, residents receive help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily tasks while keeping an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care gives a resident a place to stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 88 beds with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom housing. A studio offers one private space, while a two bedroom option can work for a couple moving together. Medicaid acceptance may help when a family’s savings will not cover a long stay, and residents can bring pets. A Walk Score of 35 points to a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride, and a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. The combination of assisted living, memory care, and respite care may fit someone whose needs could change over time, or a family needing support while a primary caregiver travels or recovers.
