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.

I was pregnant with my first child and since Willamette Falls was close to my home I decided to go there. The front desk personnel were great, some of the best and the facility was really nice. The problem I had was with the doctor I had chosen. She never answered my questions and when she would attempt to she would make me feel stupid for asking it. I also had some problems in the beginning trimester. So, for about a day, not knowing what was going on, and sitting in the exam room all by myself waiting to have an ultrasound because the heartbeat couldn't be heard by the doppler I decided I needed to change my doctor. So, enter the Women's Clinic. What a sigh of relief. They are fantastic, and I'll say it again, FANTASTIC!!! I was nervous at my first visit because I was wondering how this office would be and if it would be different. And they were. The doctor I saw was so caring. He walked in, introduced himself and sat down and pretty much let me talk as much as I wanted. He really listened. He also responded with such a caring and respectful attitude. This whole office seems to be that way. His nurse is fantastic too. What a difference, night and day!!!! The remainder of my pregnancy was fantastic and it was always a joy going back for my appts. Makes me want to have 20 more kids!!!!

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.

This disease starts out looking like Parkinsons and Schizophrenia, in the later stages add Alzheimer's and ALS type symptoms. Over the last 50 years I've managed 3 generations of loved ones with this disease, and by far, he has received the best care and medical/pharmaceutical management living in this Care Home. RN David Care Home is owner/operated by an RN whose experience and interests lie in neurological disorders i.e. Stroke, Parkinsons, MS, and Huntington's Disease. And while this topic is of particular interest to him, he's open to supporting people of all ages and needs. He, and 3 family members who are Care Givers, live on site and someone is always available 24/7. They also have a nighttime/graveyard Care Giver. In addition to the excellent medical/pharmaceutical management, this home is always immaculate. I'm comfortable hanging out in their neighborhood and everyone speaks fluent, easily understandable English. The food is great, and my son LOVES the Care Givers. They treat all of their people in a soft, gentle, nurturing manner and provide a warm, loving family atmosphere. The owner/operator is hands on, and everyone is very collaborative when coordinating client's special wants and needs with family members. We've been able to work well together managing continual medical/pharmaceutical transition needs and tough behavioral issues. Upon arrival they set up in-house PCP medical care and advised me of transportation options for outside recreation and non-PCP medical related appointments. Overall, they've been the nicest, easiest, and most medically knowledgeable group of people I've worked with. My son's many symptoms have been pharmaceutically managed in such a way that they have been greatly minimized, which has enhanced both of our lives. He is happier and we have both been able to live fuller lives. I highly recommend them.

Because she doesn't take insurance, she isn't bound by their rules and spends a lot of time talking with you about your concerns, up to an hour at times and you are charged accordingly (like when my time was cut short because my baby was acting up and I decided I needed to go, she didn't charge me for the full hour). She supports preventative healthcare, so a lot of what she prescribes are changes to diets and she doesn't prescribe anything she herself would not do. If you happen to be the sort of patient who knows better than the doctor, she will listen to you and will also help you pursue the path that you believe best. If it fails, she is there to patiently help you pursue another path to wellness.
