Overview of Chandler House

Chandler House is a residential care community in Yakima, Washington, with a 36-bed capacity. The community operates under the state’s Behavioral Health license classification in Yakima County. With 7 residents, the community has approximately 19% occupancy. This is well below the Washington state average, which is beneficial for those seeking immediate placement.

The community’s regulatory history includes four inspections, one of which resulted in a clean outcome, while the other three identified a total of 9 deficiencies. During the most recent inspection in May 2025, no deficiencies were cited. While this count remains notably lower than the Washington state average of 31 per cycle, this compliance pattern suggests some operational areas are needed. No fines and no formal license actions have been taken.

With a smaller and more intimate setting, the community is able to provide residents with a more individualized approach to care. Since there are no details on the amenities and services, interested families are encouraged to contact management directly to learn more about the current staffing structure, specific care routines, and available social programs.

Chandler House is a practical option for those seeking residential care in the Yakima area, especially given its open availability. Its Behavioral Health license classification also suggests it is equipped to support individuals with specific behavioral or complex care needs in a non-institutional setting.

Overview of Alleva Home Care

Alleva Home Care runs out of a downtown Seattle office at 2201 3rd Ave, but the actual work happens somewhere else entirely: inside clients’ own homes. The company’s been doing this for 21 years. The office itself sits in a walkable stretch of downtown, Walk Score of 99, but that number describes where the staff clocks in, not where care actually happens, since caregivers travel directly to each client.

Alleva offers six named programs that anchor the clinical side: One-on-One Home Care, Care Management, Post-Operative Care, End-of-Life Care and Family Support, Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care, and Nurse-Delegated Care. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants run these programs, handling everything from recovery after surgery to the kind of clinical tasks that usually require a nurse’s sign-off.

The day-to-day work is simpler to describe: personal care assistance, care management, and short-term respite for family caregivers who need a break. Everything runs one-on-one, built around a single client rather than a shared schedule, and there’s no long-term contract locking anyone in. That flexibility matters more than people expect when a family’s needs shift month to month.

Two decades in business, six named clinical programs, and a structure that skips the long-term commitment: Alleva Home Care is a home care agency built to flex around whatever a family actually needs, not the other way around.

Overview of Highgate Senior Living

Highgate Senior Living is an assisted living and memory care community in Wenatchee, Washington, providing a whole-person approach to care. The community is part of a broader Highgate network that spans multiple locations across the western United States. With a 75-bed capacity, 54 beds are occupied, or approximately 72% occupancy, in line with the Washington average. The community’s staff is also trained to support residents’ physical, emotional, and social needs.

The inspection history shows a combination of strengths and areas for improvement that warrant attention, with a total of 13 state inspections, which exceeds the Washington average of nine. Across these inspections, a total of 78 deficiencies were identified, which is significantly higher compared to a statewide average of 31. During the most recent life safety review on October 23, 2025, several fire safety concerns were identified, including incomplete documentation for system maintenance, unsecured oxygen cylinders, and insufficient clearance from ignition sources.

Previous inspections also cited medication administration issues and gaps in resident monitoring, with some complaint investigations confirming lapses in care practices. Citations were issued, though no fines or license suspensions appear in available records. So, families are encouraged to discuss current fire safety corrections and updated medication management protocols with the management.

The community’s key strength lies in the range of care programs available, with assisted living, memory care, and couples care, allowing partners with different needs to remain together. Respite stays and independent living options are also available. Dining also features meals prepared from scratch and served in a restaurant-style setting. Being part of a larger regional network also allows the community to provide access to broader operational resources and standardized practices that may not be available in smaller communities.

Highgate Senior Living is a strong option for older adults and couples who value a relationship-centered approach and require access to multiple levels of care in one place. Its couples care offering is especially valuable for partners with differing support needs who wish to remain together.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Washington Medicaid cover memory care?

Washington Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
