Cherrywood Care

Cherrywood Care sits at 100 E Dalke Ave in Spokane, Washington, in a three-story building that holds up to 52 licensed beds and offers care for seniors needing assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, respite stays, palliative, or hospice care, all under the management of Caldera Care and the guidance of Administrator Alejandra Perdomo-Tapia, and with a team of caring professionals who spend their days helping with everything from bathing and dressing to medication reminders and walking or wheelchair support. Residents get to pick from studio, single room, or two-bedroom apartments, with each one often having things like a private bathroom, kitchenette, and even a balcony, and pricing runs between $2,000 to $6,500 a month depending on what kind of space and care someone needs, and Medicaid is accepted alongside long-term care insurance and private pay, which helps families who want different payment options. Cherrywood Place Retirement, as the assisted living part is called, gives people a safe, clean spot with features like wheelchair ramps, handicapped access, and a sprinkler system, plus amenities like a dining hall, a fitness center, game and activity rooms, free guest parking, cable TV, WiFi, and a salon or barber shop along with weekly housekeeping and help from a maintenance team. The community also has kitchens or kitchenettes in some rooms for those who want them, and there's a steady focus on health with onsite nurses, wound care, podiatry, medication support, and regular visits from therapists who help with physical, occupational, or speech needs, so people can keep getting stronger or manage their conditions while staying in familiar surroundings. For extra support, the staff offers behavioral health management and designs individual care plans, so seniors with more complex health needs-including those with dementia or those needing palliative or hospice care-receive careful, respectful attention, and families get help understanding care options as things change. To keep everyone engaged, there are arts and crafts, group education, fitness activities, social gatherings, neighborhood walks, and even pet therapy programs, so nobody feels left out and everyone has a chance to take part. Meals are provided in a shared dining room, and there's always a focus on helping people keep their independence where possible-so for some, that might mean personal care assistance for bathing and grooming, and for others, it might mean mostly enjoying the vibrant community life and activities that keep them happy and connected. Cherrywood Care is licensed as an assisted living facility and is recognized locally for providing a safe, kind place where residents are treated with dignity, their comfort is prioritized, and the care team is available 24 hours a day to meet changing health needs or mobility challenges. The community encourages a homelike feeling, helping each resident feel cared for, while offering a full range of services and amenities one might expect in a senior living facility.
