My sisters and I toured Avista in hopes of moving our 97 year old mom closer to us.<br>Avista was clean, (absolutely no odors that are usually in a nursing home!) attractive and the amenities are great.<br>Although mom decided to stay put, we know that if she changes her mind, this is the place for her!<br>Lynn was amazing and it was easy to see she enjoys her job and takes the utmost care of staff, residents and the building.<br>This is in no way shows any semblance to a nursing home and is a community ❤️<br>Thank you, Lynn.

My sisters and I met with Lynn to discuss a possible home for our Mom. Lynn was so friendly and we all got a very positive feeling about Avista. The space was welcoming and clean and very homey feeling. I told my daughter when it comes time for me to leave my home Avista is where I would want to be!

My father in law spent his final months here. His care was wonderful. He and we wished he had moved in earlier.

My mom moved in and loved it from the 1st day. There was a transition of workers but now has settled into a well organized and run facility. Thankful to know my mom is in good care.

We knew this was the place for Mom as soon as we walked in the doors. She’s been here since February and has transitioned beautifully. Friendly staff, fun and interesting activities, good meals. We are very happy.😀❤️

Have you already been in touch with Avista Senior Living Sumner?

Washington asks us to share this statement and gather a short intake first

Read the statement, add what you can below (a few words each, all optional), and Send signs it with the name you entered.

Washington disclosure statement, dated November 7, 2026, under the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Referral Agency Act (RCW 18.330).

(a) Agency: MyLivingChoice LLC (MyLivingChoice.com), 8705 N. Cypress Ct, Kansas City, MO 64156, (816) 226-7772.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Avista Senior Living Sumner and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.

(g) Tours: we do not tour communities as a matter of course. Our information comes from the community itself, its state licence record and public sources. We have not toured Avista Senior Living Sumner.

(h) You may stop using our service, or switch to another referral agency, at any time and for any reason, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.

(i) Refunds: because you pay us nothing, there is nothing to refund to you. If a community pays us a fee for your placement and the resident dies, is hospitalized or moves to another setting for more appropriate care within the first thirty days after admission, we refund the community a prorated share of the fee for the days not used, as RCW 18.330.090 requires.

(j) Complaints about a referral agency may be filed with the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division (Consumer Resource Center), 800 5th Ave, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98104-3188, 1-800-551-4636 in Washington, 1-206-464-6684 from outside the state, https://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.

(k) Neither MyLivingChoice nor anyone who works on referrals for it, nor their immediate family members, has any ownership interest in any community we refer families to.

About the care that is needed (optional, a few words each)

We share with the communities you chose only your name, contact details and care needs; the rest stays with us. Leave blank what you do not know; we can fill it in with you later.

Sending your request signs the Washington statement above with the name you entered, dated now, and authorizes us to share your name, contact details and care needs with the communities or agencies you chose. By submitting, you're okay with us and Avista Senior Living Sumner and any other communities you ticked reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee, never you. Those referral agreements are our only tie to the communities we list. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it. How we work · FAQ
