Key Review Excerpts
“Avista has been a breath of fresh air. After 3 years at a facility that seldom managed to deliver the basics in their contract, Avista has been welcoming, warm, clean and well maintained.”
“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.”
