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.

Warning: long winded…read more When my Dad was 80 he got a 3rd divorce and my stepmonster shipped him up here for me to take care of him. Now given that I was a full time working mom with a troubled marriage and my own mom was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's AND my father was a crusty crotchety foul mouthed old man who never liked his kids all that much, let's just say I was not thrilled. Just because he is old and needy doesn't make him likeable. Just sayin'. My mom was the sweet one. I was down for helping her all I could. No sweat. She is lovely. My brother had not talked to him in years and let me know I was on my own. "I divorced him" he said. Yay. Family trait, this divorce thing. Maybe the crochety part too. Ahem. So Dad tried living on his own at first, starting in an RV park in Tualatin ( a nice one actually) then in slightly supported apartment in Beaverton. It had meals and housekeeping and emergency pull cords but after a year or two it was clear my dad couldn't manage his meds AND needed nursing support. I tried hiring in home help for that piece but my Dad kept firing them. He would call and tell me * I * had to iron for him. I *so* much don't iron that my kid got to second grade not remotely knowing what one was. Her teacher had to explain it to her. *And* maybe his exes ironed his boxers and handkerchiefs (!) but no way was I doing that. Let me tell you this. Assisted living, our next option, is not inexpensive. And the ones that are seemingly less will nickel and dime you for everything/anything extra and say things like "oh family members do their laundry." I think you can imagine my response to that by now. I mean, my OWN laundry is a hassle. Regency Park was our third or fourth interview/ tour. It is spendy. It looks glossy. It is decked out in Home Goods decor and has a baby grand piano complete with happy hour and a lounge singer on Fridays. Tons of activities, outings, nursing support, laundry, help with bathing etc. as needed. Sold. My dad could afford it if he cut back on his Costco trips and date nights with the ladies. He lived there the rest of his life. He attended movie nights, played poker, joined committees, went to exercise classes, and found a community.He had a girlfriend or two. He made friends with some staff and several residents and by observing all the people who kissed him on the head in his last days it looked like people cared about him. There was a lot of turnover. A LOT. It is a bit worn around the edges. My dads apartment had some black stuff on the baseboard and water damage near a window when I moved his stuff out. Communication wasnt always great, it depended who the staff person was. Dad complained about the food but it got better. They also give rides to Dr appts within a small radius two days/ week which was a godsend when I had to leave work or couldn't do it at all bc of running out of fmla. I was not around as much the last year because of my own surgery etc. and when I would identify myself staff kept saying to me in front of my child, "Oh he doesn't have kids!" Stop that. He was a little bit off at the end there but that hurt my daughter's feelings a lot. Yes he said he had no kids but have some tact when talking to his family. Near the end of my moving everything out ( they gave me fourteen days even though I'd just paid a month's rent), when I had questions or issues to discuss after my dad passed one manager was consistently avoiding my call or cutting me off, she just clearly did not care to hear what I had to say. I think family members should be treated well even after the person is gone. Because that means referrals and more old people paying more money. Right?! Oh and the last thing, my dad's wallet was missing at the end. Never found. That really bothered me but they didn't appear to care a bit. I shut down all the bank stuff ASAP because of that. If you have loved ones there maybe watch out for that part. All in all I would give it a 3-3.5. There are a few loyal sweet staff people who up the rating for me and I am grateful for their care of my dad. I didn't always like him but I loved him and they kept him safe for a long time.

The food was great, as residents and staff look well fed and comfortable. The lady running it was very approachable, and nice. Her grandkids must be the envy of the neighborhood. Dad is probably going to become a resident.
