The Fieldstone Story
Fieldstone of Yakima has a rich history, having been built on the site of a former orchard. The campus now features three distinct buildings, each catering to different needs within the community. The Adult Family Home is a purpose-built facility designed to accommodate six residents, providing highly individualized support with a homey ambiance, ensuring hands-on care and one-on-one attention. OrchardWest, a larger facility, offers both enhanced independent living and assisted living, catering to a variety of resident needs. The memory care community, the first Fieldstone building constructed, allowed our founders to pioneer and perfect their concept of purposeful memory care living.
The Fieldstone founders sought to create a senior living community that reflects their own values and vision for their loved ones. This commitment is at the heart of Fieldstone of Yakima’s approach to senior care. We aim to provide personalized experiences that foster meaningful moments among residents, their families, and our staff. By cultivating a supportive and engaging environment, we ensure that each day is filled with opportunities for joy, fulfillment, and growth.

Mission
The roots of Fieldstone’s mission trace back to co-owner Doug Ellison’s childhood. At just seven years old, Doug accompanied his father, Gerald, on visits to nursing homes. Gerald, a physician, demonstrated a compassionate approach to his patients, leaving a lasting impression on Doug. Witnessing his father’s loving interactions with patients and the often stark environments they visited, Doug resolved to one day improve the lives of seniors. This vision came to fruition in 2014 with the opening of the first Fieldstone community in Yakima, WA.
Gerald Ellison’s impact as a family physician spanned 44 years in the Yakima community. His kindness and compassion left a lasting legacy, and former patients often share their affection for Dr. Ellison with Doug and his family. Gerald’s gentle approach inspired the founding of Fieldstone and continues to guide our mission to create joyful, vibrant communities where residents can thrive.
Happy Residents. Happy Families.

We couldn’t have…
…done it without Fieldstone, I honestly mean that from the bottom of my heart, we couldn’t have done it without everybody here.

The amount of caregivers…
…per resident is amazing, the amount of time that they spend with them, and the way they treat them. Most importantly though is the love they give them.

To me thriving means…
…being able to live your life… Fieldstone was not just interested in meeting Mom’s physical needs, but in creating an environment she could actually still thrive in.
