Assisted Living & Memory Care · Yakima, WA

Overview of Hillcrest Assisted Living

Hillcrest Assisted Living provides assisted living and memory care in Yakima, WA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident lives in a private room. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, which can suit someone living with dementia who needs that level of support.

The community has 50 beds, supporting a smaller residential setting where staff and residents may get to know one another. Both care levels are available in the same community, so a resident whose needs grow can move to another level without leaving the setting. Hillcrest Assisted Living opened in 1987.

Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away or recovery. Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation provide care during a limited rehabilitation stay. Staff prepare and serve meals, and residents participate in monthly menu selections, giving them a role in planning what is served.

Private rooms provide a single personal living space. The beauty and barber shop brings grooming services on site. A Walk Score of 61 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain destinations independently.

Staff also assist with transportation arrangements when a resident needs help organizing a ride.
