At The Ponderosa Assisted Living and Retirement Community we believe the key to a happy life is to be active! Our goal at The Ponderosa Assisted Living and Retirement is to allow our residents to live as independently as possible. We work with residents, their family, doctors, pharmacists, and other providers to maintain a consistent plan to enhance the quality of care.
Services
Built in 1976, The Ponderosa is one of the most established assisted living and retirement centers in Yakima, Washington. As such, we feel that we have much to offer residents! Ponderosa offers an independent living experience with personal care and health services as needed. Our community is situated in a very quiet neighborhood in the heart of Yakima, close to shopping, parks, and restaurants.
We have two different sizes of apartments available; studio and one bedroom. Our apartments are among the largest in assisted living in Yakima with our studios measuring 436 square feet and our one bedroom units measuring 630 square feet. Each of our studio and one-bedroom apartments have a kitchenette complete with a full-size fridge, a walk-in tub and shower combo, and an abundance of storage space.
The Ponderosa Assisted Living and Retirement has everything you will need for a comfortable community living. We have many large common areas for residents to enjoy and congregate in such as our dining room, activities room, and fireside room. Inviting outdoor areas beckon residents to gather and enjoy the garden spaces during the spring, summer, and fall seasons.
We hold a dance in the activities room once a month. Residents enjoy dancing or just listening to the music and snacking on some goodies and watching other residents dance. Interested residents visit favorite Yakima venues for meals together, usually once a month. They get to enjoy getting their feet soaked and toes trimmed while listening to some music!
Check out some new delicious menu items and enjoy some of the favorites we bring back each month! Download the January Menus here! Download the November Menus here! All first responders are welcome to join us the last Friday of every month for coffee and treats! This month we are doing the second to last Friday because of Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

The person who commented on this website before me about the Ponderosa Assisted Living Facility, namely on January 9, 2018, provides a highly false picture of the facility. This person must likely be a previous disgruntled employee writing scathing negative comments about Ponderosa's care and services that are not true and giving it only One Star. I give The Ponderosa Five Stars! My father has been cared for at the Ponderosa for many years and is most happy there giving the facility an A for its caring services and being a great place to live. One highlight is the more recent dining experience
