Avamere at Sherwood Assisted Living Facility

I want to share my experience with Avamere at Sherwood, where my father has been living since May (4 months so far). Overall, I'm very pleased with how things have gone. From day one, the staff have been responsive and caring. Over time, they seem to really know my father — not just his needs, but his personality, preferences, and daily rhythms. They check in, follow up, and ensure he’s comfortable in ways that make me feel confident placing him there. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained. It feels safe. Things are organized, and I see staff going about their work with kindness and professionalism. They’re prompt when I reach out with questions, and they generally communicate well. While I haven’t experienced or been exposed to other facilities personally (nor has my father), I hear so many stories in contrast, so I appreciate what I see here: personal attention, respect, and stability. It gives me peace of mind knowing he is in a place where people care.

HI...my sister said mom is doing well. I called and was able to talk with her once. The other times I have called, no one picked up and no one called back. Left my number both times.

I feel my mother gets good care there, everyone is pleasant, and concerning. The only item I feel,may need to be addressed is some of the meals. My mother was a cook and food manager for the school district for many years. She has mentioned several times about some of the items of food that she ordered has not been correct, not cooked completely or over cooked, items not given when ordered, and often the appearance is not appetiting. she knows you cook for many with different conditions, but if it does not look appealing people do not eat the food, they just throw it away. My mother can supplement her food sometimes as needed , but should not need to do that . Not sure who is incharge of the food program and prep , but who ever it is should perhaps go sit with my mom in her room and discuss perhaps some ideas and suggestions she may have to offer. if that is a possibility please text me and I can set up time and date for meeting. she is not one to intimidate, or made negative vibes....only to offer suggestions that may help make your program better. Other than that, she enjoys being there and loves the area and people . thank you for keeping tabs if her. Pam Keys POA/ daughter
