I want to share my experience with Avamere at Sherwood, where my father has been living since May (4 months so far). Overall, I'm very pleased with how things have gone. From day one, the staff have been responsive and caring. Over time, they seem to really know my father — not just his needs, but his personality, preferences, and daily rhythms. They check in, follow up, and ensure he’s comfortable in ways that make me feel confident placing him there. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained. It feels safe. Things are organized, and I see staff going about their work with kindness and professionalism. They’re prompt when I reach out with questions, and they generally communicate well. While I haven’t experienced or been exposed to other facilities personally (nor has my father), I hear so many stories in contrast, so I appreciate what I see here: personal attention, respect, and stability. It gives me peace of mind knowing he is in a place where people care.
