Avamere at Newberg

Avamere at Newberg sits in a quiet residential area with access to the main roads leading to Portland, Hillsboro, and McMinnville, and the community has 54 rooms and provides different options like assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and even on-site skilled nursing when someone might need more help than the everyday type. Residents get home-cooked meals served in an elegant dining room three times a day, and staff schedule outings and country drives for those who like to get out, making the place feel lively but also familiar and comfortable, especially in their Alzheimer's and Memory Care neighborhood where caregivers and a licensed nurse focus on the unique needs of people living with dementia. The activities calendar's pretty full, so there's often something to do, like Paint N' Sip events, and there's also a spa in the building, which helps with relaxation and self-care. Residents can have trained aides for companionship and non-medical help right at home, and staff stay on duty 24 hours a day, so support's always close by whether it's day or night. The executive director, Kelcie Mauser, leads the team, aiming to create a warm, family-like environment that centers on each person's needs and life journey. Reviews have shown a friendly, caring community with meals made from quality ingredients, and the staff handles many daily tasks like counseling, transitional care, and rehabilitation. There are extra things to know, like a $1,500 community fee, a $600 pet fee, and care points that cost $96 per point, and all the services have their licensing verified by A Place for Mom. Avamere at Newberg is managed by Areté Living, which means someone can expect typical senior living conveniences, but the main idea is a steady focus on comfortable surroundings, personal care, and activities made to keep life engaging and active for older adults, whether they live independently, need some help each day, or need more specialized memory care.
