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.
