Avamere at Sherwood - Oregon Senior Living Residents Share their Experiences
Residents of our Portland senior communities, and their families, share their thoughts and experiences with us. Here's what they had to say:
To the Avamere Staff,
"My mother has been living at Sherwood for almost 2 years now. I am writing you to let you know what a fine job I feel your executive director is doing for you. She is the perfect person to be running your care facility. She has excellent judgment and great communication skills. She has the ability to explain things in a way that makes sense and helps us as the family to make good choices for our loved ones... She is unbelievable! She has helped me and my mom during the hard times. We have gone from mom being pretty independent to needing care in the Arbor [memory care], through a broken hip and back at home...your Executive Director has helped me understand and make the changes my mother has needed. Wow what a package you have in her! I hope when you take the time to do a review with her that you will consider what I am telling you and reward her for her hard work and effort to make Avamere at Sherwood one of the finest care facility's in the Portland area...Thank you for your time and I hope you find this information helpful. If you have any questions feel free to call or write".
Dear Avamere Staff,
"Thank you for the very special party to celebrate our 70 years of marriage. We cannot imagine any other retirement residence showing such love and care for a couple who moved in a short time ago. We deeply appreciate it each day we can call Avamere at Sherwood our home".
Dear Staff,
"Thank you for letting us be a part of a loving environment, and for letting us use the private dining room for our special nieces and nephews party. We are very happy in our new home".
Dear Staff,
"May I say thank you for the wonderful "Candle Light Dinner." You and your staff are due many kudos from the residents of Avamere at Sherwood. One of the best dinners, I can truthfully say I have ever had and a big Thank You to your Chef".
To the Avamere Staff,
"Thank you not just for the July 4th festivities, but for all you do to make us elders feel happy and "younger." Sorry we couldn’t make the fireworks but heard it was great, safe, colorful and fun to see.
The table decorations were very special and we want you to know we do enjoy each special effort you make".
"Thank you for all your compassion and love and caring especially during our mother's last days. It was a blessing and a comfort to know she was surrounded by earth angels!"
Dear Avamere Staff,
"Our dear grandma had lived under you care for quite a few years. She often expressed how well you cared for her and she enjoyed your company.
Thank you for not only taking care of her so well physically, but also for the emotional support you extended to her. You certainly enriched her life and I am truly grateful for it".
Thank you for the kindness!
"Thank you each for caring for my grandmother with such compassion, devotion, and humor. She appreciated you and your kindness. Also, thank you for always being so warm and helpful to me, and my mother and aunts. You do a wonderful job and service….and we appreciate it".
