In a world of local mediocre health facilities, Avamere stands out. The facility is modern, clean, & not hectic. We needed a transitional facility for our son after a week-long stay at Good Sam. He needed 3X/day antibiotics by infusion & these folks handled it perfectly. The care team, dieticians, nurses, and even housekeeping staff are quietly competent - plus just plain nice. This is an easy recommendation for those in need in Pierce County WA.

Kudos to all the staff and caregivers at Avamere. They were very welcoming and friendly from my first day to my discharge day. I had a mix of things going on, including heart, blood pressure, and my introduction to the use of oxygen. Each caregiver was knowledgeable, and always willing to help no matter the time of day or night. I would consider each staff member my friend. Best to all of you…with a grateful heart!

They provided personalized support, clear communication, and were always available to answer any questions I had. Their thoroughness and attention to my specific needs helped me feel confident and comfortable throughout the process. I am truly grateful for their support and highly recommend them to anyone in need of transitional care services
