Avamere

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.

My dad moved in a month and a half ago. Prior to arriving, the staff worked tirelessly to help us with paperwork and then moving in. Since being here my dad's health and attitude have improved. He is happy. I'm happy because I know he's safe and being taken care of.

What a welcoming and friendly staff. We as her family members couldn't be more happy with the living arrangements at this community. Everyone makes it feel like home. Great environment for our loved one!!!

Kind, caring staff, understanding leadership and an attentive chef make this place great. If there is a problem, it is quickly remedied once the right person is notified. Power through the sometimes awkward first weeks and the living gets easier.

Very nice building and friendly staff. No change of rooms if Mom needs to add services. We will bring her to visit Avamere

All the staff are so caring and nice! The residents are very friendly and kind to one another. Our apartments are wonderful, the grounds outside are beautiful and well kept up.

I really liked Avamere. Now to convince Dad that he is ready to move.

Great place, great staff and everybody is family.

Transitions can be so hard, and it was especially so for my Mother who recently lost her husband of 72+ years, and moved to Avamere from the family properties where she had lived her entire life. (91 years) Fortunately, the crew, staff, and other residents at Avamere were very warm and welcoming and continue to be so as Mom makes the hardest adjustment of her life. I was also welcomed to stay in her apartment for a few days and was able to partake of some of the activities, the dinner meals, and the amenities at Avamere. This also helped with her transition. Some amenities that she utilizes include exercise classes, walking the compound, church services, a beauty salon, the library, the little store, and many musical performances, all on site. The front desk staff is also very responsive to her needs, safety, and well being. Overall, I give very high marks to Avamere.

My dad has lived in Avamere for over one year. Our family decided to move him out of [removed] due to our compounding concerns for his safety, the serious under staffing at that establishment, and the blatant denial and lack of concern exhibited by their management. We have found Avamere management to willingly work with our dad on how he wants to assistance in care. After a small set back in his health they have even temporarily provided service to see if he really needs the additional “points” added to his plan. He gets the care that he pays for. The staff are clean and friendly, the establishment is clean - it could use some freshening up but after prior experience, we would not trade a fancy facade for true care and attention for our dad.

My mother-in-law, who is approaching 100 years old, has lived at Avamere for almost 5 years. The first 4 1/2 years she lived in the independent living side of the facility, until she fell, which necessitated moving her to the assisted living side of the facility. The Community Relations Director was a tremendous help during this stressful time. She made sure everything ran smoothly & with as few complications as possible. Avamere is very well run & all of the employees from the Executive Director down to maintenance are professional, personable & they always let you know they are there to help you. The facility is kept in pristine condition & very clean. We are very fortunate we found Avamere & would recommend it to anyone looking for a facility to place his or her elderly parents.

Very lovely, large place with a waiting list for their small (6 unit? assistant living. I was told when I called those accepted were normally already there as residents.Independent living was quite large with many amenities and a wonderful setting. Much too large over all for me.

My mother, who has not been easy to find any sort of comfort for, has finally found a little bit of it. The staff are so polite and patient, it really helped the move in process go over smoothly. I would recommend this community to anyone and everyone looking for a beautiful new home.

My mother moved into The Stafford 10 years ago as one of it's very first residents. And what a fulfilling relaxed time it has been. At every stage of her slowly declining health, she was marvelously attended, and not just her physical needs. Every day was filled with choices of different things to do; fun lunches and tours at a Portland locale, practical trips weekly around town to grocery shop, etc. Attention to her needs were always met, but it was invisible to her. Every visit was accompanied by friendly informative conversations. The staff is fantastic, the facilities are exceptional and I'd encourage everyone to explore The Stafford. Although your needs are likely to be different, The Stafford will easily meet them and add so much more.

The Stafford is a beautiful and welcoming place. It feels like a home. The staff feels like family and is always quick to help or offer an encouraging word or something to laugh about. It is a happy atmosphere that feels like the staff is there because they want to be and like being there rather than It is just a place to work. The food is excellent and the activities are engaging and fun. It is an added bonus having the salon, caretakers and physical therapy on site.

We find The Stafford a wonderful, well-run place to live. It is quiet yet friendly. It is attractive and not institutional looking. Our apartment is comfortable. The maintenance staff is very responsive when there is a need. Lots of activities are available. Excellent workout room. The dining room is an exceptionally pleasant place to eat with a very extensive menu and very good food. We would highly recommend the Stafford.

I have been inside The Stafford many times and I'm always impressed by so many things. The staff are always so friendly, the accommodations are exquisite and feel like being in a grand hotel. They literally have a restaurant with wait staff and personal service which the residents can order whatever they want from a full menu. If I was looking for a place to retire in Lake Oswego, this would be my first stop. I HIGHLY recommend The Stafford!
