Avamere

I very much enjoyed my tour with marketing Representative. [name removed] went above and beyond to help place my mom. I immediately felt a warm family friendly environment that my mom would be cared for and loved. Many fun activities too!! The entire staff is awesome!! Mom’s excited to move forward and make new memories with friends that make you feel like family. I personally feel confident and happy mom will enjoy her new home.

The staff members at the community are very good, and when it comes to the care services they provide everything our loved ones needs help with. Under the current circumstances they are still doing activities, and they are coming up with new ways to keep the residents active and engaged.

The staff has been very supportive and very caring throughout the last year with the pandemic. yesterday was the first time we have been able to visit in the past year and we have to say the community is clean and well kept.

This is a good community, good service, takes great care of the residents, and a good price.

Great food. Staff is fun, friendly, and treats us so well.

My loved one was able to stay here, until a medical condition moved them to a hospital. Since my loved one is not yet ambulatory, they aren't able to be in the community. Once they are able to transfer from bed to chair, then we plan on having the community to care for our loved one again. The community is willing to work with us, in taking care of our loved one. All of the family members are happy with this community and the experience so far. The community had socially distance bingo and chair yoga that our loved one participated in. There are several other activities available for the residents to choose from.

We chose Avamere at Oak Park because of the location and the fact that we were able to move my mom and my dad into the same room together. The room sizes here are nice and spacious. We ate here a few times before COVID, they do have a nice variety of food on the menu and residents are able to order different things if they do not like what is being served. The best part about the community is the interaction they get to have with all of the residents and staff members. I would recommend.

Appreciate shower aides' says help. Food is surprisingly good and on time. Looking forward to hairdresser and bus service. Building is clean inside and out. Our housekeeping is excellent. Staff is friendly and cheerful and responds to me when I press pendant for help. Building is large enough to get walking exercise year-round.

I toured three other facilities in my area for my mother and Avamere just felt right. [name removed] gave a wonderful tour and was very informative and you could really tell she loves her job. Now that my mom is living there, it has been challenging moving her and because of covid-19 but I know she has been well taken care of. Thanks to [name removed] and her staff I know her needs are being met and they all bend over backwards to make her feel safe, secure and well-loved. The facility is as gorgeous as her apartment. The place is really setting the bar hiigh!

My dad has been at Avamere for about 7 years, the last five or so, on the Assisted Living side. The staff does a great job of keeping the residents safe and needs met. Quite challenging for us with Covid, but we all do our best and Dad tells us they take good care of him, e.g. meds, insulin, minor injuries and laundry. We have so appreciated the facility getting in iPad to zoom with Dad!!

The best staff!!!

My brother [name removed] recently moved into the independent living section of the facility. starting with the move, orchestrated by [name removed], we are very impressed with the professionalism and going the extra mile during our move. We realized during this time of the panda make your staff is under tremendous challenge and are required to carry out many duties there are not required to do. Many of your staff have been courteous and yet trying to keep everyone safe at the same time. We really appreciate their positive attitude and caring of the residents.

My mother is a resident at Gilman Park for 8 years. She lived a full life and had some ups and downs at Gilman Park, until I met [name removed]. What a fire cracker she is, full of life and full of energy. Very compassion about the quality of life that each residents deserves at Gilman Park. I visited my mother quite often either during the week or during the weekend, this lady is always there. The community looks clean and fresh, residents looks good and happy, lots of laughter and socialization. When Covid-19 hit the state of Oregon, [name removed] did not back down, but in full gear of making sure that my mother was safe and all other residents of Gilman Park. I cannot tell you how I appreciate the hard work that this lady put forward to make sure my mom is safe, other residents and employees. [name removed], thank you, thank you so much for all the hard work, countless hours you spend at Gilman Park. It shows how great you are as person, an executive director and a role model for all. Thank you, Happy Family

Nice community friendly staff. This is written September 2020 during virus some activities like bus trip activities are not allowed right now. Community bus does take you to doctors appointments. But still have exercise class, chair yoga social hours, happy hours, Bingo, movies and other activities. In Suburbs trees cattails. I'm in what I call a deluxe suite 2 bedroom me and my bird Brandy love it. I had to take Care of a 100% care daughter for 24 years and a 80% care wife for ten years till they both passed. Now with my disabilities it is like a cruise ship and I'm being taken care of. I looked at a lot of facilities in a 100 mile radius from were I lived God's country but no services there this was one of the few that would even think of taking me with my disabilities. Spokane has all the doctors Hospitals about anything you need is within 5 miles of facility 80-90 % within 2 miles. When you are looking for a place first question should be what are facilities discharge policies Financial level of care for example.

They like their apartment but it could use some updating. The food is concerned okay to pretty good and they offer a variety. The building is clean and well cared for. My parents have made friends and enjoy visiting with other residents as well. There were a lot of activities to chose from like bingo, art projects, excursion, and groceries store trip before COVID. We chose this community because of availability and they allow pets which was important for my parents.

I would say that they do whatever is needed for assisted living but you are charged for it. All services are a la carte. The caregivers are really good. My dad doesn't like the food but they do offers options. He would prefer meat and potatoes every night. My dad chose this community. I would recommend this community to other families, however, I would say that you have be aware, that no matter what, it is going to be expensive.

I live here and I am very satisfied. The staff is caring and helpful. My room is large and comfortable. The dining hall and public areas have been decorated nicely and are brightly lit so we feel good about being here

Love the staff and the other caregivers. Its clean and smells good. Great activities

I cannot say enough great things about the care and compassion my mother receives at this facility. I highly recommend Avamere at Newberg.
