Avamere

This is a lovely place, and the people go out of their way to make sure residents needs are met. My mother moved here sep 12, and we are very pleased so far.

Things have gone very well at Sandia Springs so far. It's a nice looking place, they keep things very clean, the staff have all been very caring and friendly. They've got a good variety of amenities and activities they provide, as well. Overall a good experience.

I have heard nothing but good things about Oak Park from my loved one who is living there. She has been making a lot of friends, everyone in the community seems happy and well taken care of, and they go out of their way to make sure their residents are comfortable.

Their staff is very friendly. They are very responsive, and attentive. They have a lot of activities. The food is good, she says they give her too much. There are a few things that need to be done that haven't yet, little maintenance type things. They seem to be on top of things. We liked the independent living, it's very cozy, and I like the location.

My daughter-in-law and I toured 10 facilities in 3 days searching for a Memory Care unit for my father after the death of my mother. Because we live 1500 miles away, it was important to choose a facility that gives top notch care, be able to communicate with us and not break the bank. We found that here. It is a beautiful facility, and the level of compassion we saw here was far and above many other facilities we toured. It is secure and yet very homey. There were several residents that were still capable of interacting with my still active but confused father, and despite our fears that the move would throw him for a loop, I haven't seen him this happy for years. He told us he loved it and we are praying he will be able to age in place from this point on with dignity and happiness. He has a wonderful view of "his mountain" and the rooms are very well laid out and roomy.

We loved this facility and thoroughly enjoyed meeting with Cari Hickman. Mom was comfortable with the environment and Cari. It is just a matter of being able to afford to live in a one bedroom/one bath unit in the independent living section. Beautiful and welcoming environment!

I'm very happy with it. The staff is very friendly, and they keep it very clean. They are very responsive and attentive. They have quite a few activities. The food is really very good. The biggest reason I chose them, was that they had an option so that the cost of his care would remain the same and the price would not change, it was the special they were running at the time. They all seemed to know his name quite quickly, they will always say hi in the hall and see if anyone needs anything, and do that first.

They are very friendly people who take excellent care of my loved one. I’ve seen people doing exercises in their chair. It’s very friendly and to me it’s more like a family. It’s always been well kept. I got to eat Thanksgiving with my loved one and it was excellent!

This was a nice property with very professional staff. We liked this community alot!

She liked the staff, but did not care for the traffic.

Will more than likely choose this one.

* court yard * georgeous * social cards * beautician * different devotions

Clean, nice area for residents. Fresh smelling. Shared room is fine. I would like to take my mom for lunch. Just a little too far from my home but that can be ok if the fit was right.

This is the best community for independent living and assisted living in the area. The staff have been great to work with. There can be a slow response due to staffing issues in the dining room. The food taste is superior.

My loved one says that she likes the food. This is a caring community that treats the residents with respect and dignity. My loved one really likes the outings that they do and the bingo and exercise classes that they have. They have her up and going.

We chose Avamere South Hill because of the location. We also interviewed the staff members and liked what we saw. we liked the facility itself and the set up of the rooms. They do have different options on room sizes and they are more spacious than some of the other ones we had looked into. Overall, I would recommend to others who are looking.

The community has been great during the pandemic. I would recommend others look at this community for their loved ones. A lot of other communities I have been in had a smell, this one didn't have the same smell.

I enjoy living here at Avamere. I really enjoy and appreciate their staff. They are always helpful and full of fun!! The food is really good and the other residents are fun and very accepting of new folks. Come and join the fun we are a great group of people.

My mom moved into Avamere about 6 weeks ago, she was hesitant about leaving her home. The people at Avamere could not have been more helpful. Her transition has gone as well as we possible could have hoped, and we are very happy with our decision. Avamere Wenatchee used to be Columbia Heights. In talking with locals about residential centers to visit, I was repeatedly warned about poor experiences with Columbia Heights. Avamere is a completely separate corporation, and have all new management and staff. I find that people in Wenatchee still often refer to this site as Columbia Heights, and that the fair to poor reputation of Columbia Heights is unfairly associated with Avamere. I expect that my mom's experience at Avamere is very representative, and that Avamere deserves a much higher rating. Any issues we had during the first few days of mom's move in were quickly handled. The management have a lot of direct involvement with the residents, and the quality of care shows as a result. I would recommend anyone looking for a care facility in Wenatchee to visit Avamere, and don't let the reputation of the previous incarnation color your opinions. Avamere Wenatchee is a quality facility, and my mom is fortunate to be here.

All the caregivers that I have met, as well as the administrative staff and med techs have been very responsive to my Mom's needs and to our concerns whenever we have expressed them. I feel that my Mom is well taken care of, and the staff is very attentive and on top of things. She feel at home and seems to be happy to be there.
