Assisted Living in Yakima, Washington

Retirees who appreciate abundant natural beauty as well as vibrant art, culinary and culture scenes are increasingly drawn to Washington state’s Yakima Valley. Yakima’s emerging wine industry has earned positive comparisons to the iconic Napa Valley without that region’s trademark high tourist activity and subsequent high costs. Fishing, boating and hiking enthusiasts can find plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation thanks to Yakima’s location just east of the Cascade Mountain Range. Downtown Yakima showcases the Yakima Valley’s agricultural heritage with its farm-to-table restaurants and seasonal farmers market, and the city’s community spirit is obvious in its many civic events and festivals such as the Central Washington State Fair. 

Assisted living facilities provide seniors with supportive services in a residential setting. These facilities often offer attractive lifestyle amenities such as on-site salons, spas, outdoor walking paths and on-site theaters. The average cost of assisted living in Yakima is $4,975 per Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey. Although this is higher than the national average, it’s substantially lower than Washington’s overall statewide median. 

We’ve created this guide to assisted living in Yakima, which includes cost comparisons and a list of relevant resources, to help seniors make informed decisions about their care.
