Assisted Living in Walla Walla, Washington
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Garrison Creek Lodge — and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 1996, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care.
Right at Home
Built on a park-like setting with 10 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, lovely gardens and meandering trails, Garrison Creek Lodge is one of Eastern Washington's premier assisted living communities. Nestled in the Blue Mountains and bordering Fort Walla Walla Park wildlife refuge, our senior living community is in Walla Walla, which recently received the "Best Main Street in the West" honor by Sunset Magazine and was voted the number one place to retire by Money Magazine. Located near Highway 125 and West Highway 12, our community offers 80 apartments on two floors, where our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living. Yet a helping hand from our warm, caring staff is always close by.
New Friends, New Beginnings
Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, TV room and library — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities every month, including off-site excursions to many wonderful attractions in Historic Walla Walla, which has become known for attracting fine wine enthusiasts and roving retirees. Its newly renovated downtown features 19th century Italianate-style commercial buildings that are being revamped into art galleries, bookstores and restaurants.
While surrounded by rural countryside, Garrison Creek Lodge is less than one mile from the Safeway Plaza featuring a Postal annex, dry cleaner, the Dollar Store, Walgreen's and several restaurants. Wal-Mart is just two miles away. In addition, Walla Walla General Hospital, the VA Medical Center and a nursing home rehabilitation center are also nearby if ever needed.
