Avamere

When we first started to look ahead we needed to know what options were in our community. They were a great source to not only provide faculties but were also very helpful in answering questions that we had as well as providing information we had never even considered. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for long term living and care options.

Love the people and atmosphere residents make all new feel at home all like one big family . Staff are nice and work hard, care for there residents and there needs.

I have lived at Avamere for around 2 years. I really am impressed by the new director, [name removed]. They have had a hard time hiring staff, but are in the process of getting more staff on-board. I find the caregiver and wait staff in the dining area work very hard and are very responsive.

At first I was very happy with them. As time went on, I was unhappy. They will not communicate. It doesn't matter how many times you call them and leave a message, they will not call you back. And that's not just one person. That's everybody there. For the most part they did a good job with his care, although at times I felt he wasn't getting what he needed. But it wasn't too bad. I didn't think they had enough activities. I was thoroughly shocked by the cost, but it was the same price at other places all over town.

We did not tour this facility as it did not meet our stay requirements for respite care. It is the highest priced facility that met our location needs. Otherwise the information provided was very satisfactory. Therefore, we would consider this facility as second line.

The community is very clean and neat and the staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is very nice and They do a good job taking care of our loved ones. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Our loved one was only there for about two weeks, but they were always willing and available to answer any and all of our questions. We would recommend this community to others during non covid times.

It seems like it was a good place. It just wasn't a good fit for my loved one. She was a fall risk, and one of the nurses called me and said it wasn't safe for my loved one to stay there anymore. The outside of the building was really nice, but I wasn't able to go inside to visit. My loved one told me she loved the people there, and that the food was okay. She just loved everybody there. When we moved her things out, all the people we saw said "Oh, I remember her! We loved her. She got along great here!" It was a perfectly good place for her until it wasn't anymore. The nurses really did care. When she fell, they took her to the emergency room. The hospital didn't immediately admit her and didn't want to put her in a rehab center. So they sent her back to Gilman Park. That's when the nurse said she wasn't safe there, that she needed more care and needed more of an eye on her. I appreciated that the nurses were honest with me about her care. Every time I emailed the nurse, she emailed me right back with updates. One thing I wish I had known before I signed the contract with them was that they require you to use their drug supply company, Consonus. Before moving in, we were getting her meds for free or very low cost per month, and all of a sudden we had a considerable monthly cost for all her prescriptions, as well as any non-prescription things she might or might not need, like laxatives and cold medicines. If there was an alternative, I didn't see it when we signed up.

The staff and nurses were really good. I did not care for the administration. The patient-to-staff ratio needed to be better. I think they were at a 15-1 ratio. I would not recommend this community to others right now.

I would recommend checking out this community. Gilman Park was very clean. They did have a great dining area. They had an outdoor area for the residents. The handy man was able to assist my loved one, when requested.

We are currently only able to play cards with other residents. The dining room is still closed and we are eating in our rooms. The food is terrible, you don't get half the items you order. You also get things you didn't order. Other than that I would say it is good community. The staff are really good and keeping us safe. They allow pets; however, there is an additional fee of $1,000.

Is always willing to help in any way needed, including management. I've done a great job in working with the covid-19 pandemic. Communication could be better with updates pertaining to residents. I am very happy here, this is where I should be at this time in my life. Always willing to answer my questions. Residents are friendly.

My mother enjoys all of the caregivers. The office staff is friendly. The food is good. Unfortunately, it almost always arrives cold to the room. The facility is kept up nice. It would be nice if they could hire more staff. We have recommended Avamere to friends.

I enjoy living here very much. I didn't like the necessary restrictions to our rooms but I know it's for the best. I look forward to the times we used to have before the pandemic. I appreciate the safety.

I'm happy here

Great place. Good meals and I can have my terrior dog with me.

My father has been a resident for 5 years, and I have had quite a few visit to the facility. My interactions with the residents and staff has always been friendly and helpful. Avamere at Wenatchee has taken great care of my father. Whenever questions come up, the staff is very prompt with returning calls. The facility is very clean and the grounds are kept up nicely. Prior to pandemic, there were a lot of activities for the residents. During this covid-19, we appreciate the efforts to keep residents safe and family is informed. Wonderful Community. Shout out to [name removed] for going above and beyond with helping not only my husband and I, but the time she takes to interact with my father.

My mom chose this community because she liked the building and the price was affordable for her. The food is good and they offer a variety of foods. It used to be served in restaurant style dining. They used offer a lot activities. I would recommend this community to offer families.
