This place offers assisted living with 96 licensed beds and has an executive director named Julie Alvarez. You'll find private one-bedroom apartments and cottages, each with kitchenettes, walk-in bathtubs or showers, and private baths. Residents can enjoy spacious restaurant-style dining rooms serving three meals daily, where meals use fresh, locally-grown produce. There's a beautiful courtyard with landscaping, walking paths, benches, and plenty of lounges and common areas to read or relax with others.
Sunnyside Assisted Living gives support for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, restroom use, incontinence care, and medication management, with nurses and staff available around the clock. Wake-up calls, prescription assistance for a monthly fee, and occupational or physical therapy can be arranged. The community follows a multi-level care model, so costs range from about $150 to several thousand dollars each month depending on the support needed, with medication observance and some add-on services costing extra.
Residents can fill their days with scheduled activities such as plays, concerts, bridge, sport events, and outings to local spots, along with daily enrichment activities made for laughter, friendship, and keeping the mind and body active. Transportation for appointments or trips is included, and staff will help arrange off-campus needs. The main building has laundry rooms, a chef, and a personal care service option. There's also a beauty salon and recreational areas where folks can sit, visit, or join group activities.
Services are open from 9:00 to 17:00, Monday through Friday, and closed weekends, but caregiving staff stay on-site all day and night. There's a focus on resident independence while giving nursing assistance when needed. Hospice and palliative care are also available with a thoughtful approach that respects individual preferences. Dietary support, residential care for handicapped residents, and regular social outings round out the experience.
Sunnyside Assisted Living features a full calendar of events and a website that offers a Facility Finder tool plus resources for primary caregivers. Employment opportunities are posted online. The place aims to keep a safe, welcoming environment, and the staff tries to make life easy, social, and comfortable, focusing on each resident's wishes and needs. The Medicaid occupancy rate is about 22 percent, and the community is part of Yakima County.
