Life at Chandler House
When it was established, Chandler House Alzheimer's and Related Dementia Care provided a real new direction in Yakima for the care of residents with dementia and Alzheimer's. First and foremost, it was a facility solely dedicated to supporting residents and family members with this specific set of memory care needs. Secondly, it was designed to look and feel very much like a home. The importance of reassuring sounds, scents and activities is elevated in the care of persons with memory loss.
All meals are home cooked and enjoyed in a more traditional, interactive family style setting, which stimulates connections and appetites. Rooms are decorated to be as home-like as possible. Chandler House Alzheimer's and Related Dementia Care has a full time Life Enrichment Coordinator who works to provide each resident with activities that reflect those that they enjoyed throughout their life - music, planting, movies, games, etc.
