Overview of Mallard Landing by Cogir

Mallard Landing by Cogir operates a 75-bed assisted living community at 813 SE Clark Avenue in Battle Ground, Washington, 0.9 miles from downtown and managed by Executive Director Kristina McComb under the multi-state Cogir operator. Current census is 63 residents (84% occupancy, above Washington’s 72.5% state average). Housing consists of private studio and one-bedroom units priced at $4,050 and $5,040 per month. The facility accepts Medicaid.

Licensed nursing and CNA staff provide on-site support. Services include housekeeping, laundry, scheduled transportation, fitness and recreation programming, and chef-prepared meals in a cafe-style dining environment. Volunteer programs operate.

Over two years, the facility recorded 23 deficiencies versus state average of 31.

In September 2024, a substantiated complaint investigation identified an unsanitary kitchen and refrigerator, unlabeled and undated food, and inadequate temperature monitoring, placing all 64 residents at risk of foodborne illness. In May 2025, a substantiated complaint investigation found the facility failed to comply with fire code requirements despite prior fire marshal directives, with multiple fire safety violations affecting resident safety. Repeated fire safety deficiencies across February and May 2025 involved fire-resistance-rated construction, fire door maintenance, fire damper inspections, smoke detector sensitivity, and portable heater compliance. The most recent inspection on August 7, 2025 (follow-up), identified zero deficiencies, confirming correction of background check, water temperature, and tuberculosis testing issues.

No fines or immediate jeopardy findings appeared in available reports.

Walk Score 60 (moderately walkable).

Mallard Landing by Cogir addresses Medicaid-eligible assisted living residents in a facility where recent substantiated complaints involving food safety and fire code non-compliance have prompted documented remediation, warranting families’ verification of current compliance status and operational practices before admission.

Overview of Fieldstone Memory Care

Fieldstone Memory Care is a specialized memory care community in Yakima, Washington, dedicated to supporting older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and various forms of dementia in Yakima County. The community’s 58-bed capacity is currently fully occupied, suggesting a consistent demand for expert memory care services in the Yakima region.

The community achieved a perfect score during its most recent state inspection in July 2025, which identified no deficiencies and confirmed that all licensing requirements were met after the correction of previous issues. However, past inspections had cited deficiencies related to fire safety codes and administrative staff compliance, such as tuberculosis testing, nurse delegation, and negotiated service agreements, all of which were promptly addressed. While a prior complaint investigation substantiated a failure in provider practice involving a staff member who caused a resident unnecessary pain, the community took decisive action by suspending and then terminating that employee. With a total deficiency count significantly lower than the Washington state average of 31, the community’s regulatory trajectory remains positive, and no fines or license actions were identified.

Beyond its core memory care programming, the community provides respite care for families exploring short-term support options within a purpose-built environment. Amenities are also designed to foster engagement and combat isolation, which include scenic outdoor courtyards, a movie theater, game rooms, and several dining areas. Although primarily focused on memory support, the community also offers independent and assisted living programs to help older adults age in place even when their care needs evolve.

Fieldstone Memory Care is an ideal choice for older adults with moderate to advanced memory loss who require a secure, structured, and sensory-supportive lifestyle. The community also appeals to families in Yakima County seeking a dedicated setting that prioritizes quality of life through enrichment amenities and safe outdoor access.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Washington

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Washington?

Assisted living in Washington supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Washington?

Assisted living in Washington is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Washington Medicaid cover assisted living?

Washington Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Washington) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 441 assisted living facilities in Washington. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Washington?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Washington, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Washington?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
