Avamere at South Hill sits in a quiet Spokane neighborhood and has a covered entryway so residents and visitors stay dry coming in and out, and you'll find it's close to medical offices for quick trips if someone needs them, which always seems handy these days, and they focus a lot on helping folks live as independently as possible with options for assisted living, independent living, respite care, memory care, skilled nursing, and more, so no matter how needs change, people can keep their routines and be comfortable. The staff know their residents, are known to be joyful and kind, and there's always someone available twenty-four hours a day, which gives some peace of mind, especially with the emergency call system in every apartment and safety features like roll-in showers and grab bars in all rooms, and you can choose from lots of layouts-studio, deluxe studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom-most with private bathrooms and kitchenettes and even appliances like refrigerators and, sometimes, washers and dryers, and there are also private and semiprivate rooms if someone needs skilled nursing, and the whole place has high-speed internet and cable TV so people can stay connected and entertained however they want.
People who live here can join regular painting classes, enjoy fitness sessions, or use walking paths outdoors, and the vibrant activities calendar offers social outings, so there's always a way to get involved, plus they have property management, maintenance, and housekeeping to keep things running smoothly. Restaurant-style dining serves three meals a day using quality ingredients for nutrition, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner get served together in the communal dining areas, but with help always nearby if needed, things feel safe but not strict or controlling, and folks can join in support groups or just relax in the library or lounge, and there are programs like Expressions made especially for those with Alzheimer's or other memory loss, plus specialized services like Geriatric Psychology support for residents with mental health needs.
Transportation is available when residents need to go somewhere, and neighbors can take part in wellness programs or try out new hobbies or activities with others, and the whole place is run by Areté Living, making it part of a larger group of senior communities, and today Sherri Kuehl Undercoffler serves as Executive Director. The community has 95 licensed beds, a current Medicaid occupancy rate of about 0.2182, and it's received a review score of 6.6 based on nearly 500 opinions, plus some recognition from awards like Best of Senior Living, so it's clear they keep trying to meet everyone's needs even if nothing's completely perfect. Residents needing extra support-whether through memory care, help with medications, daily tasks, or more intense nursing-get personalized attention, and families find reassurance with the secure entrances, helpful staff, and thoughtful activities, which makes it easy for people to feel settled, maybe even a little bit at home. More details about their services, room types, and amenities can be found on their website.
