Cottage in the Meadow Closing After Years of Service

Facility to Cease Operations on August 21

Hospice Care Support Encouraged

Yakima, WA - The Cottage in the Meadow, an inpatient hospice facility that has served terminally ill patients and their families in Yakima County for many years, will close its doors this month.

The closure is due to financial challenges faced by the facility. The Cottage in the Meadow has been operating at a loss for several years, and despite efforts to increase revenue and reduce expenses, the facility has been unable to sustain its operations.

The closure of the Cottage in the Meadow is a significant loss for the Yakima community. The facility has provided much-needed care to hospice patients and their families, and its closure will leave a void in the community.

Hospice care is a type of palliative care that provides comfort and support to people who are facing a life-limiting illness. Hospice care can be provided in a variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes.

If you are interested in supporting hospice care in the Yakima community, please consider donating to your local hospice organization or volunteering your time.
