History of Garden Village | Model of Integrated Care and Partnerships

Garden Village was established in 1998 through a collaborative partnership to address the gap in healthcare for elders with complex medical and behavioral health challenges.

We provide a warm, home like environment with murals painted throughout the facility to give a neighborhood style atmosphere.


Where it all started

We are a private non-profit corporation that was developed in 1998 through a subsidiary partnership between Multicare Yakima Memorial and Comprehensive Healthcare, both nonprofit healthcare organizations in Yakima County. The program was initially incorporated under the name of Heritage Grove and housed in a different building, also in Yakima.

In 2009 the program was moved to its current location under the name Garden Village.

Garden Village, A Standalone Non-Profit

Garden Village is a standalone corporation with 501(c)(3) status that does not receive funding or financial support from either Multicare Yakima Memorial or Comprehensive Healthcare. Board members from both organizations’ boards are represented on the Garden Village board for policy oversight, governance, and strategic direction. These partner organizations do not fund operations and they do not own the Garden Village building.

Partnership

The partnership between Multicare Yakima Memorial and Comprehensive Healthcare came about because both organizations are committed to serving the needs of the adult and elderly patient population who have complex medical and behavioral health challenges. They realized that there was a growing gap in healthcare for elders with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other complex illnesses and conditions, and Garden Village serves to bridge this gap.

We have illustrated how agencies can work together collaboratively to achieve far greater outcomes for adults with medical and behavioral health needs than any one agency could on its own.

How Garden Village Benefits the Community

Through personalized rehabilitation programs and attentive care, Garden Village enables individuals to regain their strength and independence, promoting overall health and wellness. By providing compassionate care to a vulnerable population, Garden Village enriches the lives of our residents and loved ones and contributes positively to the broader community.

Our Resident “Neighborhoods”

To facilitate a warm neighborhood-style atmosphere, each wing’s name was aptly chosen and named by our residents and staff.

The Bridgeway connects the north and central wings and crosses through the Village Square where the nurse’s station and other services are found, and blends graciously into Arbor Heights, Spring Gardens, and Sunrise Gardens.

Each of our resident neighborhoods at Garden Village offers a welcoming environment that caters to the diverse needs and preferences of our residents.
