What this means for your family
While the facility is described as clean and the food is well-regarded, the recurring reports of ignored call lights and unprofessional staff behavior are major red flags. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend observing the response time to call lights during a visit and asking management specifically how they ensure accountability for patient hygiene and communication.

Key Review Excerpts
“Food was very good. Husband's care was terrible.Was at Avamere for a week, than admitted to ICU for a week.Lack of care!Very disappointed in his care.”
“Communication with administration is very poor. They are not professional in any way. For 16,000$ a month I expect way more from staff!!”
“When I go there, there's almost always multiple staff sitting at the front while the call lights are on. My grandma who was otherwise on the mend, contracted an infection at this place which caused her death.”
