Cedar Hills Adult Residential Care sits at 1603 Drake Court in Yakima, Washington, and has served seniors for 29 years as a steady place for adults who need help. The community offers 57 beds in private and semi-private rooms, letting residents pick what fits them best, and keeps things safe and comfortable for folks dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, or mental health concerns, which is important because a lot of people move here when they can't fully care for themselves anymore and need more than what their families can provide, so the team's got skilled nursing care, rehabilitation therapy after an illness or surgery, and special help for daily chores and medications. Mr. John Reese Jr. leads the place as President, along with Paul Reese as Vice President, Cheryl Morgan as Office Manager, and help from principals John Reese Jr. and Launa Ambrose, and together they make sure there's always a team on site, including five caregivers with no more than six residents each, working all day and night, seven days a week, to keep everybody safe and cared for-plus, there are Spanish-speaking staff for those who need it, and ongoing training to keep skills sharp.
There's a small community feel with activities for friends and family in Yakima, a beauty salon for residents who want a haircut or a little pampering, and a collection of adult family homes under the Cedar Hills name, so the place is able to keep things as close to "home" as possible while still offering skilled professional care, even for those on the mend and needing respite care for just a short while. Residents get help with meals, personal care like bathing and dressing, managing medicines, and there are programs for healthy eating and memory care, all meant to support their health and help them keep some independence, which matters to most folks. Cedar Hills also opened a lab last year, with Justine Prather as the Lab Director, so there's support for various medical tests and custom alerts, which helps make sure residents get the care they need quickly and safely.
The facility isn't accredited with the Better Business Bureau, but it's been around a long time, and being so close to hospitals, pharmacies, and churches means families don't have to worry about getting to appointments or services. Cedar Hills Adult Residential Care is pretty clear about trying to meet the needs of middle-income families, and they've got general resources about their amenities, but mainly the focus is on being a steady, honest place where older adults can get the support they need, whether that's daily help, specialized memory care, or just a safe place to recover and rest.
