This home for six women, gives personal care to each resident around the clock. There are two caregivers on duty at all times. Each of the residents have extensive memory needs and as the dementia progresses the home provides whatever is needed. Besides the two caregivers, the owners, Julie and Adrian, check in everyday and are always available for spur of the moment needs. It is obvious the residents love them. The home is dedicated to each resident from early dementia through the late stages to even hospice. Family can visit at anytime (except meals and bedtime) without calling ahead. Just ring the doorbell and you are warmly welcomed with a smile. From the beginning, Mom felt secure and included. It far outshines anything else I looked at over a three-month period. The staff is experienced and seem to just know what is needed for each resident and when. They learn to interpret the language of those losing cognitive skills. Homemade meals three times a day is the norm and it often smells of stew or soup being made as you enter. All in all, it is a home, not a facility. The residents are dressed and ready for the day by breakfast time. Each resident has her own room and the group gathers in the living room for most of every day. I would highly recommend Magnolia Gardens to anyone looking for a care facility for a family member. Cheryl Rafoth

Their expertise in the industry shined as they only showed us places that could meet his care needs (which were complicated). They helped us not only navigate the process of finding a place for him but also helped with navigating the hospital system. They have strong knowledge of the owners of the facilities and found the right fit for my Dad so he could have a good quality of life. They truly cared a lot about helping him find the right fit. I HIGHLY recommend Family Values to entrust that your loved one finds the right place for their care.

Family Values came recommended from a friend in Washington. Raisa was very accommodating with providing video conferences and scheduling virtual tours. We needed to find a Senior assisted living home for my aunt that allowed her to have some freedom with the extra care and attention she needed. Once we came up to move my aunt in Raisa helped with the entire process. From recommending movers and hotels for us to stay nearby while in town. She even checked in on my aunt once we flew back home which made me feel at ease knowing she had someone in town to check on her. Thank you for helping with the move and transition!

I am a current employee at Avamere at Hillsboro, and I absolutely love this company! I've been here…read moresince August 2019, and have come to truly appreciate how sincere each and every employee is in their care for our residents! My coworkers are an inspiration, and I regularly receive compliments from residents and their families regarding the care we are providing. Before coming to work here, Avamere had been a customer of the company where I previously worked. I had the opportunity to work in Care Communities (assisted living, skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers) all over Oregon and Washington. I worked in communities and facilities which were run by Avamere, as well as their "competitors". From my perspective, you could feel a difference in Avamere versus the others. The staff were genuine, and offered sincere compassion for their residents and patients. The administration seemed to be connected with the staff and resident and patients, as well. It was the many opportunities I had to work with the different companies, and in so many locations, which led me to want to work for Avamere. Unfortunately, I had signed a non-compete clause with my former company, and therefore had to be separated from them for 2 years before I could be employed with Avamere. So, I did my time! Now, I'm here, at Avamere (Avamere At Hillsboro) with intention! I love this company and couldn't be happier with the decision I made!! If you want a great and caring place for your loved one to reside, or if you want to work with some of the best people, come check out Avamere at Hillsboro!

Just want to warn everyone to keep they're loved ones away from this place. I am a former employee…read morefor Avamere. I worked in the dementia unit for residents that need extra care with day to day activities such as going to the bathroom, getting dressed, etc. I only worked in the dementia unit so I cannot speak for the assisted living section. I treated our residents with the dignity and respect they needed and deserved. After working there for almost a year I noticed the manager, Executive, care staff and nurse turn over rate was brutal. Not one person could keep a job there because they kept getting fired, I didn't know why until about a month before I was let go as well. Everyone who tried to report avamere was fired. residents were getting neglected in one way or another from nurses giving expired medications (like insulin for our diabetic residents) to the care staff laughing at residents and giving them terrible nicknames that correlated with disabilities that they had. I reported this kind of behavior to my managers and executives and they made me believe they were doing all they could to prevent it. After months of this vulgar behavior i felt that I could not stand by and watch these residents that I had become so close to be neglected and abused. I called the regional nurse and told her my concerns for the residents because my direct supervisors were taking no course of action after 5 months of this behavior from the staff. She pretended to hear my concerns and as soon as I was done talking to her she called my direct nurse and I was brought into her office and given a warning about "going over her head". A couple months go by and the behavior of the staff seemed to be getting worse. One day my co-worker and I were on break at the same time and I expressed my concerns to her and told her I wanted to get in contact with the state board of nursing and report Avamere at Hillsboro as a whole. I grew very close to most of the residents I took care of and hated the thought of them not getting the best care they could if the managers would just do they're jobs... well my co-worker went to my direct supervisor and told her that I wanted to report Avamere to the state for elder abuse. Less than a week later I was pulled into my direct supervisors office and was told they would have to let me go because I was "not getting along with my co-workers". A report to the state would seem a lot less believable from a disgruntled employee... Please don't put your loved ones here, at least not in the dementia unit. The staff feel like they can get away with whatever they want because residents with dementia cannot speak for themselves in most cases and if they can most people will not believe them. Avamere does not care about its residents or the residents families. They are only here for the money. This truly broke my heart.

I spent a week looking over nursing homes in the Portland/Vancouver area while my father was in the hospital. I had to replace my fathers assisted living home with a new home with a much higher level of specialty care. Which meant I needed a nursing home. I was horrified with what I found......until I found Sharmel. They have an excellent staff, beautiful homes with a care givers to resident ratio you can't beat. The founders, Blake and Cameron are exceptional. I could go on and on but Sharmel has given my father's last two months of his live, love, care hope and happiness. My father fell in love with his care givers and he loved his last home at Sharmel. My name is Dean......thank you so much to Adrian, Blake, Cameron and the rest of the staff for everything in caring for my father Roy.
