My mother came here for four weeks after a fall. All things considered she enjoyed her stay…read more Sometimes it took a bit for a CNA or other staff to respond but she said that she really liked every one of them. She had a few that went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable. I believe one was named Nye and the other's nickname was Kai. Both very kind young men. Mom liked her occupational therapist and her physical therapist named Kyle. She often shared that Kyle was very encouraging. Skip, Sunny, and the other male nurse were all very kind and helpful. Mom said she thought the food was good. She didn't care too much for sharing a room but luckily her roommate was not too bad. The facility is definitely older and shows wear, but overall not too bad. A deep cleaning, repaint, and new window treatments, and more comfy seats in the rooms for guests would definitely help the overall comfort and ambiance. Overall our family's experience was really good and we are thankful for the good care and help she received from all of the staff at Avamere. :)

My mother-in-law was in the facility for 6 weeks. The nursing staff, physical therapy, respiratory…read moretherapists and speech therapist were great. The problem was that the communication from hire up was awful. To be specific to get information from Social Services or the Case Manager (who knew nothing about her case) was like pulling teeth. When I would call to get updates, it could take up to 2 days to get a call back, and when I got an update it was only to find out that they were not telling my mother-in-law what was going on or we got 2 different stories. When we were ready for discharge, it was rushed, supplies were not ordered as we were told they would be and I had to constantly be in communication with the Social Services department to make sure things got done. I actually had to have my daughter go by the next day to pick up supplies that we were going to run out of before Home Health could come to our home. As a first time caregiver dealing with this situation, it was traumatizing.

I would hate to be at this facility with no family member to stand up for me. As it was they left…read moremy wife in the freezing cold car and almost put someone else in my wife's bed before I stopped them. Then the wind off to put that person somewhere else still ignoring the fact my wife was out in the cold needing a wheelchair. Once they finally did get my wife in her bed it took him another 3 hours and 5 minutes before she officially got admitted to the facility. The oxygen cylinder I brought with me for my wife ran out completely because it took three different people coming in and looking at the giant oxygen cylinder before they got it to start releasing oxygen. There was no back up oxygen nearby and all were oxygen concentrators were already in use my other patients according to the staff. Sometimes the staff came back from lunch or break reeking of cigarette smoke with no concerned that my wife has COPD and then smoke on their breath and clothes bothered her.

Kindness Abounds…read more After a loved one suffered a minor stroke, they went to the Fort Vancouver post-acute care center for their rehabilitation. After visiting many times in the past two weeks I've consistently observed nothing but professionalism and kindness from the staff. I've watched them respond to numerous requests from patients, which were all met with cheerful and mostly immediate responses. Check-in was a breeze with no waiting around or delays. A team of people all took turns doing their jobs to get the patient situated and comfortable. The Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy staff I've met are also top-notch. The facility itself is very busy and sometimes noisy, but is always welcoming to visitors. They immediately gave me the door code for after-hours visits and a password to the guest wi-fi which works really good. Rest-rooms are in every hall. You are welcome to join the patients in their rooms, the dining room and there is even a family room area for longer visits. Yes, parking on 8th street is tight and their lot is perpetually full, but I'll put up with that for the kindness and quality of care we've received. It's also only five minutes away from the Camas freeway which means just a couple of stop lights and you are there. If there is one suggestion I could make it would be to put "pillow speakers" on the television sets so the patient can hear the program without blasting the rest of the facility, and especially the poor roommate. The TV sounds are the principle cause of noise pollution I observed while there. I don't know where they find all these really sweet people, but I'm really glad they were there for us in this time of need.

I left this review on Google as well. Why does this site only have bad reviews? If you look on…read moreGoogle it is more varied. I have NEVER seen a poor treatment of a patient. In fact the complete opposite. Call lights are answered within minutes, the patients I see laugh and joke with the staff even though they are busy, they spend the brief time they have making sure needs are met as best as possible. I do what I can to help communicate and I follow up. So far all of the requests and doctors orders have been met or exceeded! My mother is in this facility. It is clean (I always see someone cleaning!) and though an older building it has all that my mother needs. She is a long term patient currently living here and has since Sept 2025. She's had many appointments and starting with my rockstar Brooke (Admin Assistant) that makes rides possible and any other communication details, to Jen the Queen of activities and things interactive, to ALL of the CNA's, nurses, social workers, doctors and therapists (who am I missing??) that look after her. She has really thrived here. She loves to sleep and would all day, but they get her up and interacting to keep her mind working. She has come out of her shell more. They change her often because she is bed bound. She has NO bed sores. They arranged for a more functional wheelchair and do everything they can to make her comfortable and get her up. If she stops eating or doesn't eat very much, the staff lets me know right away. I will say, if you don't advocate for your loved one, or yourself you may not have as good of an experience. I show up several times a week even if it's brief to check on her and communicate her needs. Everyone is so busy doing their best and it's hard work. If you show appreciation, BE KIND (even if you're hurting). Be curious, not rude, about the care you (your loved one) are getting, ask questions and communicate your needs. You will be thoughtfully cared for. Have patience you're not the only person in the building! Anyway, I am so thankful to God for finding my mom this facility. It's so much better than where she was! We love it here.

If I could give it a zero, I would. My client went there late last year. She is about 5 foot seven…read moreand when she went in, she was about 135 pounds. She was just just discharged against medical advice, came home weighing just 94 pounds - 40 pound weight loss in 7 months for someone that was a healthy weight. She looks like a holocaust survivor. She is a quadriplegic and cannot feed herself. She was basically left to die there. The food is terrible, as they have a vegan chef. They are understaffed, so patients wait for hours. There is a resident that screams, "Help!" Pretty much around the clock. Her first doctors appointment after leaving the facility, led to her immediate admission to a hospital for malnutrition. Her hair is coming out in clumps. I would only ever go here if I were suicidal.
