Very caring people and good neighbors here. Some better than others but that's to be expected. Foods pretty good here. Wish we had more communication with upper management and kitchen staff. Overall good place to live for me. I'm a 100% disabled veteran and not sure if get discounts for military service.Dont know why rent went up 180$ per month cause wasn't warned of it. Woulda been nice

There are some great care givers at Avamere. Our Mom had difficulty with the meals. She was unable to eat any of the meat items that were served. She said they were always too tuff. She has her own teeth and they are all good.

Great place and very caring staff for a family member that can be challenging at times. Overall care, finances, medical, all readily addressed by the appropriate staff. They even helped facilitate a move to another facility when the care went beyond their abilities to meet. Our family feels very blessed to have been able to have our loved one here.
