I have to gush... Avamere Sequim is a wonderful place to heal. My Mom thrived there and regained mobility she'd lost. Avamere is clean, and has a lovely atmosphere. The food is delicious. The staff are incredible! So caring, personable, professional, helpful, and effective. We always felt welcomed. The staff goes out of their way to make everyone feel valued. I am eternally grateful for their care for my Mom.

I was temporarily employed there as a travel nurse, I don't recommend this place unless you are able to advocate for yourself. I witnessed patient neglect daily. Administration, esp Avastaff administrators, keeps the facility understaffed, intentionally, esp overnight shift. They have 2 nurses and 5-6 cnas for all 3 units, 100 patients, putting patient care and staff licenses at risk. Constant c-diff, covid and UTI's, despite the fact that they have an infection control nurse. This is from being understaffed, and they don't care. They blame the nurses for anything that goes wrong, not that they only schedule 2 nurses all night for 3 units. Patients do not get the care they need, left to fester with infected catheters, sores, wet briefs/clothes/bedding/wheelchairs, even lice. When I was done with my contract, I declined their offer to stay and will never work for any Avamere anywhere. They hire 1 travel nurse to abuse, to do the job of 3 nurses and then reprimand you if you focus on patient care instead of redundant charting. They put profit over patient care and safety.

My husband was admitted to Avamere after emergency stent placement for kidney stones. He had just left the hospital. In Avamere for one month. We could not have been more pleased with his care. Staff was efficient and caring, food was excellent, facility is clean. PT services were very helpful. We both rate Avamere in Sequim five stars!
