What this means for your family
The Arbor at Avamere Court is often praised for its clean environment and compassionate staff, making it a strong candidate for memory care. However, families should be aware of recurring issues regarding the loss of personal belongings and inconsistent laundry services. We recommend asking management specifically how they track personal items and ensure hygiene standards are met, as these have been persistent pain points for families.

Key Review Excerpts
“The residents were mingling and laughing and talking, not at the other places. The cost is on the lower end of the local spectrum, the living areas are clean, beautifully decorated and brightly lit.”
“The staff are dedicated and understanding not just to my mother, but to me as I endure Mom slipping away.”
“Her room isn't cleaned well and her clothing and personal belongings disappear. The worst part is her nail care, which is zero! We are assured at every conference things will be better, but they are not.”
