    Friendly staff, clean spacious apartment

    I'm very pleased with this community. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive; my mom is happy and thriving in a clean, spacious apartment with good meals, lots of activities, and thoughtful care. I'd recommend it to families looking for a warm, safe, well-run option.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall impression: Reviews present a mixed but generally positive picture of the community. Many families and residents emphasize a caring, attentive staff and visible clinical support on site; the presence of RNs, hospice access, and regular primary-care visits are cited as stabilizing features. The property is described as newer and well maintained, with renovated common areas, a large dining room, courtyard/patio space and a range of apartment sizes that some residents find spacious and comfortable.

    Care and staff: The dominant theme is strong interpersonal care. Numerous comments highlight compassionate, patient staff who know residents by name and provide hands-on assistance. Leadership and admissions staff receive frequent praise for facilitating smooth moves and follow-up communication. That said, there are also reports of variability in staffing continuity and limited weekend coverage; some families experienced slower responses or administrative lapses. For families needing higher-acuity memory-care support, reviewers note that the community may have limited capacity to manage progressive dementia needs.

    Dining and food service: Dining is a standout for many reviewers, with praise for special events (barbecues, holiday menus, chef-led dinners) and generally appealing meals. At the same time, there are recurring comments about inconsistent day-to-day meal quality and menu accuracy — examples include perceived substitutions, repetitive soups, and limited meal options on certain days. Reviewers also raised concerns about billing practices tied to dining or ancillary care and about recent price increases for services and communications-related items (television/phone), indicating a need for clarity on what is included in base pricing.

    Activities and social life: Programming receives mixed but actionable feedback. Many residents report an active social life with painting, games, bingo, and regular on-site events that foster friendships. Conversely, others note limited off-site outings to date, pandemic-related restrictions affecting some programs, inconsistent reminders, and variable attendance that can leave residents dining alone. Overall, the community offers structured activities but may need to expand or stabilize off-site and engagement programming for more consistent participation.

    Facilities and amenities: The facility is frequently described as clean, modern, and comfortable, with appreciated common spaces such as a gym, courtyard, and patio. Unit-level amenities are mixed: apartments are generally roomy with private bathrooms and small kitchens, but there is no in-unit washer/dryer option noted by several reviewers. Pet policies are available but include a noticeable pet upcharge for some families.

    Management and notable patterns: Management and front-line staff earn many positive comments for responsiveness, admissions support, and community culture. However, reviewers also describe instances of inconsistent administrative follow-through — examples include billing discrepancies, occasional poor communication, and at least one allegation concerning pest-control response. These items suggest variability in operational consistency rather than uniform practice. Prospective residents should confirm current policies on billing, pest-control records, staffing levels (including weekend coverage), and the availability of higher-acuity memory-care services during their tour.

    Bottom line: The community appears to offer warm, resident-focused caregiving, visible clinical presence, and attractive physical spaces and dining experiences for many residents. Prospective families seeking a community with strong relational care and modern facilities are likely to find many strengths here. Those prioritizing consistent meal-service fidelity, transparent pricing, robust dementia-specialized services, or guaranteed weekend clinical coverage should seek specific, written clarifications and document current operational practices during visits.

    About Avamere at South Hill

    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.
