There are many agencies out there that help the elderly in Walla Walla. Here are just a few: There is Aging and Long Term Care, they manages, plans, coordinated, educates and advocates for comprehensive long term care systems, They are there to help assist for service to the elderly the number is (509) 529-6470.
There are just a few retirement, assisted living, and retirement apartments. One of them is Odd fellow that is a huge facility that has all three in one location. The have a nursing staff and a couple of doctors. They have social workers to help with some behavior problems. For more information you can call toll free 1-(877)-311-2786
The Regency is a hospital so it has a little bigger nursing staff and doctors on call, but they have a limited places for the elderly to live. Same with Park Manor, limited places.
So there are places for the elderly to live and get the physical help that they need, but all the places are lack the resources that they need to help the elderly with their mental health needs.
The elderly need more mental health professionals in the area. It is a beautiful place to live there are tons of activities, because there are three different colleges. It is a fast growing community and there is lakes, and rivers, and mountains to enjoy. So all those social workers or psychiatrists check out walla walla because you could do so much help here for the elderly. They need you!

I am highly impressed with your topic and your findings. This is something that should be dealt with. I wanted to tell you about some other services for the elderly that I did not see on your blog, but I have had the opportunity to volunteer at:
Wheatland Village (assisted living)
Park Manor (retirement home)
Odd Fellows Home (retirement home)
Great blog!
