Avista Ellensburg sits tucked away in Ellensburg, WA, and it's a place where seniors find pet-friendly apartments, studio options, wide dining spaces, and spotless grounds that kind of remind you of an old friend's cozy home. The staff offers 24-hour support, with a licensed nurse and an LPN around to make sure everyone has help when they need it, whether it's with dressing, bathing, medication, or just a quick check-in. Every resident gets their own care plan, so each person's needs get attention, and there's always someone close by if anything comes up, including help with meals, cleaning, laundry, or little things around the apartment. Folks living here fill their days with community outings like country drives, windmill tours, visits to see bison, trips to the rodeo and local fair, viewing Christmas lights, and even some time at the zoo, museums, or farmers markets when the schedule allows.
Inside, residents get to join activities like dance aerobics, tai chi, bible study, afternoon teas, bingo, art projects, and ice cream socials, plus group games, happy hour, and crafting in the activity room, so there's always something to look forward to if they like staying busy. The building has quiet gathering areas, a small beauty salon, outdoor patios, a library, and common lounges where people like to visit. Meals are cooked by dedicated chefs, served restaurant-style in an open, welcoming dining room, and they pay attention to quality and nutrition so residents eat well. There's plenty of room for people who use assistive devices, pets are always welcome, and the facility keeps things accessible and connected with Wi-Fi and good storage space. Seniors who want to keep up their independence can pick an apartment and enjoy a lifestyle with less stress over things like repairs or housework, while those who need more care can get support from trained aides and clinical staff, even in memory care or for those who need skilled nursing. Avista Ellensburg works with outside home health and therapy groups when needed and joins in on community events, making sure people have chances to get out and enjoy the area around them. The community keeps things clean, the atmosphere is warm and homelike, and seniors can bring their pets, make new friends, and have a place to feel safe and cared for as their health needs change.
