Cascadia Senior Living

What Cascadia Senior Living does

Cascadia Senior Living & Development is a privately held senior living operator and developer founded in 2013 by Doug Ellison and Justin Younker, headquartered in Yakima, Washington. The company operates a portfolio of senior living communities across the Pacific Northwest under three sub-brands: Fieldstone Communities (Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care; multiple Washington locations including Yakima, Kennewick, Bainbridge Island, Marysville, and Spokane), Heatherwood Senior Living in Boise, Idaho, and Rexford Park in Yakima, Washington. Services span four care levels—independent living for active seniors, assisted living for residents needing daily activity support, specialized memory care for Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's residents, and short-term respite care for traveling caregivers.

Cascadia's core product is physical senior living communities differentiated by design and care programming, particularly the Fieldstone Memory Care line featuring a proprietary 'Town Square' concept with a theatre, '50s diner, and art studio. The company integrates third-party safety monitoring technology—the Quiet Care system built by GE and Intell—which tracks individual resident movement patterns and alerts staff to behavioral anomalies. Cascadia also offers third-party management services to other senior living operators, extending its operational expertise beyond owned real estate. The technical stack is light: the company uses Dayforce HCM for applicant tracking, has a WCAG 2.0 AA-compliant website, and maintains HIPAA privacy practices, but does not disclose proprietary software development or in-house technology R&D.

The business model is built on recurring monthly residential fees paid by individual residents and their families, with rates varying by care level and unit type. Additional revenue comes from short-term respite care stays and B2B third-party management contracts. The go-to-market approach is direct-to-consumer through website inquiry forms, phone contact, in-person community tours, and healthcare provider referrals via Washington Health Care Association involvement, supplemented by awards-driven PR (Great Place to Work, SeniorAdvisor.com Best of 2018, Yakima Herald-Republic Reader's Choice).
