Tender Mercies Adult Family Communities sits over on West Entiat Avenue in Kennewick, WA, and has been serving older adults for more than 30 years, offering care for up to six residents at a time in a real home where you'll see private rooms with half baths and spaces that feel cozy and familiar, and people here always seem to treat folks like family, so if you walk in, the team's built up a good reputation for being loving, dedicated, and gentle as they help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and getting around, and they have a knack for making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. They specialize in long-term care, assisted living, memory care, and even respite stays for caregivers needing a little relief, plus every care plan is made special to suit the person's needs, and the staff take time for personal assessments and ongoing conversations, so seniors keep as much independence as possible, and you see genuine kindness in the way they provide help and companionship.
You'll find that meals are served in a dining room, and folks can enjoy social activities, arts, crafts, and fitness or wellness programs, while rooms come in a few sizes, including studio and private setups, all with cable TV, and the property provides safe features like handrails, accessibility options, and an active sprinkler system for peace of mind. The care includes nurses, help with medication, wound support, and occupational therapy, with transportation to appointments if needed, and you'll see housekeeping, laundry, guest parking, Wi-Fi, and a game room too. The team gives special attention to seniors living with dementia or Alzheimer's, building individualized plans and routines so each person stays as comfortable and safe as possible, and when times get tough, such as at the end of life, they offer supportive services meant to keep both residents and families at ease. Usually, Medicare isn't accepted unless they've been certified by Medicare and Medicaid Services, and they don't take Medicaid, so families handle payments out of pocket. The home is licensed and inspected by state agencies, so you get regulated care and a steady environment. Reviews show high marks in areas like care, food, staff, and value, and with only a handful of residents at a time, everyone gets attention, privacy, and a chance to live with dignity and comfort with caregivers who really do care.
