Avamere Transitional Care at Sunnyside in Salem, Oregon operates as a nursing home, providing skilled nursing oversight for both short-term recovery and long-term residency. On-site physical therapy is available to help residents regain strength or maintain mobility, and respite care slots give family caregivers a reliable option for temporary placement. Each resident’s clinical plan is reviewed by licensed nurses and therapy staff to ensure that treatments, medications, and rehabilitation goals stay aligned with physician orders.

Safety systems support the medical program. Suites and common areas are connected to a 24-hour call system, and an emergency call network allows staff to respond quickly throughout the building. Continuous nursing coverage, routine vitals checks, and medication administration provide additional layers of monitoring so that changes in condition are addressed promptly.

Accommodations at this assisted-living facility include private and companion layouts, all supported by regular housekeeping services. Depending on the unit selected, residents may have cable television, Wi-Fi access, and direct doors to outdoor areas that showcase maintained gardens and landscaped walkways. The grounds incorporate spaces referred to as the Outdoor Garden as well as areas modeled after Midwest Village, Nicholas Conservatory, and Anderson Gardens, offering varied places to sit or stroll. Not every room features each amenity, so confirming details during a visit is recommended.

Meals are prepared on site three times daily with attention to dietary directives. Menus can be adjusted for low-sodium needs, kosher preferences, vegetarian choices, and gluten or allergen-free requirements, while standard entrées remain available for residents without restrictions. Staff dietitians oversee nutritional balance, and caregivers monitor intake to help ensure that each resident’s medical plan and personal preferences are met.

Residents have access to a range of social and recreational options. An activity center hosts scheduled programs, and clubs and interest-based communities meet regularly for conversation and projects. A library and computer lounge supports reading and internet use, and designated rooms for arts and crafts encourage creative pursuits. Evenings may bring TV or movie nights, while organized bingo sessions add variety to the weekly calendar.
