Avamere At Pacific Ridge

This placed smelled like raw sewage. I got her a little after five and it's now almost eleven with no meds or feeding tube in place. Roommate has tv still on full blast after asking her to please turn down the TV. I plan on leaving in the morning. Do not come here if you value your health.

My mom was there and they took very great care of her the staff was really sweet and polite and I would recommend them because they will take care of your loved ones and make sure they're clean make sure they're fed make sure that they are comfortable. I would even go there to stay. I want to thank the whole staff you guys are all awesome.

I am doing best to transfer my loved one out of this horrible place. Dirty suuroundings, poorly trained staff who spend the majority of their time gossiping at their station loudly, which includes all night. I think this staff thinks like the next station in life is death..and that people dont have minds left.so why care? In the three days that my loved one has been there, it has literally blown my mind. Dirty toilets shared by multiple clients. Actual poop on the seat. Garbage not emptied in that time that he has been there. My loved one said he had a scheduled shower today at one. We left before that so he happened. Mind blowing! One woman was in the same spot today as when I left yesterday! I wonder if anyone knows she is there. My first encounter here was a request from me to to a male staff person to help my loved one get comfortable from a broken neck injury. I needed help on how to make him more comfortable. I was told by that staff member that he could do this on his own. He had just been transported in a ambulance from Harborview that same morning with a broken neck!!! I was incredulous!! He swore to me that he saw him get up and go to the bathroom. Again...incredulous!! He left the room without even showing me how to move my loved one on my own as I asked because he repeated my loved one could do it on his own. I will be reporting him...I will also be reporting to the health department. While I understand employee morale is important and that laughter is great, your staff are also there to provide the care that they are paid for. While my first encounter left me stupefied, I continue to be blown away by all of this. Seriously. We will be looking to get him transferred ASAP but until that happens I am sending this email ahead of the fact should he receive further injury.
