Avamere Rehabilitation of Clackamas operates as a skilled nursing center that delivers round-the-clock nursing oversight for residents who need medical monitoring or complex care. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants coordinate to handle medication management, wound care, post-surgical recovery, and other clinically focused tasks common to a nursing-home setting. Physicians and nurse practitioners visit regularly, and lab, imaging, and pharmacy services can be arranged on site to limit unnecessary trips outside the community.
Additional clinical resources include a 24-hour emergency call system that links each room directly to care staff, allowing for an immediate response to changes in condition. Short-stay respite care is available for family caregivers who need temporary coverage, and the team is trained to accept respite admissions on short notice when space permits. A dedicated therapy department provides physical therapy in a well-equipped gym, with individualized plans designed to improve mobility, balance, and strength after illness or injury.
Resident living spaces range from traditional semi-private rooms to more private suites. Many rooms are pet friendly and have cable TV, Wi-Fi, and regular housekeeping service, while select suites open to landscaped outdoor areas such as the Midwest Village courtyard or the walking paths near the Nicholas Conservatory and Anderson Gardens section of the property. Not all accommodations include every listed feature, so it is advisable to verify specific room layouts and amenities during a tour.
Three daily meals are prepared on site, and the culinary staff can accommodate low-sodium, gluten-free, kosher, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diets. Snacks and hydration stations remain available throughout the day, and registered dietitians review menus to be sure each resident’s nutritional requirements are met. Meal service is typically restaurant-style in the main dining room, with tray service offered for residents who are recovering in their rooms.
Common-area amenities include an activity center, a fully outfitted rehabilitation gym, and organized clubs and communities that meet for bingo, arts and crafts, and TV or movie nights. A library and computer lounge provides internet access and quiet reading space. These features are designed to support social interaction and rehabilitation goals without requiring residents to leave the property.
