Avamere at Hermiston delivers licensed assisted living with a clinical focus on proactive health management. Residents have access to on-site physical, occupational, and ambulatory therapy, regular diabetic monitoring and education, wound care, and medication management overseen by licensed nurses. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals recovering from illness or surgery who still require daily support. Hospice services can be coordinated within the community, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings even as needs change.
Care is supported by an emergency call system in every apartment and a facility-wide sprinkler system. Nurses are on duty for assessments, incontinence care, and coordination with outside providers. Memory care programming, while not in a separate secured unit, is available to assist residents dealing with early cognitive changes. The community also offers routine lab draws, laundry and dry-cleaning service for personal linens, and ongoing health evaluations to adjust individual care plans.
Apartments range from studio to ground-floor efficiency layouts with central air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and access to cable or satellite TV, although specific features such as in-unit washer and dryer, flat-screen television, or wheelchair-accessible showers vary by unit. Residents can enjoy indoor common rooms, a courtyard, outdoor walking paths, gardening beds, and uncovered surface parking; reserved resident parking is available but limited. Regular housekeeping is provided, and maintenance addresses routine needs.
Meals are prepared daily with restaurant-style service and options for vegetarian, low-sodium, no-sugar, Kosher, and gluten-free selections. All-day dining accommodates varied schedules, and guest meals can be arranged in the main dining room or a private space for family events. Seasonal barbecues and picnics are planned when weather permits to complement regular menu offerings.
Amenities include an activity center, arts and crafts studio, library with computer access, yoga and other wellness programs, organized clubs, on-site social events, off-site outings, holiday celebrations, and occasional use of a nearby swimming pool.
