It's a pleasure working with the team at Avir of Vernon. They are responsive, professional, and genuinely care about the patients they serve. I can refer patients to this facility with confidence, knowing they will be treated with dignity and respect. I have been especially impressed by Amber Mejia in admissions, and I have witnessed firsthand the professionalism and care she shows to patients and families when a decision needs to be made about post-hospital discharge care. Her genuine care and compassion are evident as she works with patients and families to guide them in finding the right care, whether at Avir in Vernon or another facility that best meets their needs.

My momma was my best friend, I could say the love of my life, I adored her, & I could not of found better care than Advanced in Vernon under administration , & leadership of one amazing Jill Vianco, the love these professionals showed us was above , & beyond, it was more like home than a facility, & my heart will forever be Greatful to the loving staff, crazy but most of the wonderful staff traveled to Kenton Oklahoma to my momma s funeral, so appreciated, if you are reading this , & wondering if this place is the right choice for your loved one, this is your confirmation that it’s exactly where they should be, you will not regret your decision! Many places now have staff that doesn’t even stay on the same page, much less care, not here, they are all one team, & they respect working in our loved one’s home , & not the other way around, I can’t say enough good stuff , i could go on, & on, but ultimately in retrospect I am eternally thankful my momma was loved up until she went home to be with our Lord, & savior! Thank you advanced care , my momma was Mary Jo Wise , & she loved you all , &. Vice versa ! God bless each , & every one of you ! This made me cry! Respectfully: Kelly J Wise. Again my Dad fell ill two years ago after my momma passed , we didn’t hesitate to, we moved him all the way from Elk city Oklahoma to live in advanced rehabilitation, & it was a God blessing, my daddy was not the easiest person to get along with,I loved him like no other, but he could be some what difficult, set in his ways, I was sure he would want to go back to Oklahoma, nope, in fact he liked it there, he had several nurses that took special care of him , Rosie , & Arron , & I am eternally grateful, he actually enjoyed his stay , & in his departure of this life he could not of been in better hands, thank you advanced, & all your amazing staff, it’s like one big family, & I couldn’t of asked for a better place for both my parents! God bless each, & everyone of you ! Respectfully: Kelly J Wise my daddy was Jim Laxson

We’ve had 3 experiences in the last two years with my uncle. Very pleased with the care and experience we’ve had. So excited to hear ARHV now is in network with the VA. Much needed in our area. Being in longterm care myself, proud we have this option in our local community.
