While my mother is no longer with us, I was so incredibly grateful for Elesio and her care team…read more The time was crazy difficult, she initially entered for skilled nursing rehab, later was medicaid bed, hospice, then, well passed. Every person we interacted with were amazing, kind, professional, compassionate. My mom was a high maintenance client, but they were firm but friendly. I will forever be grateful for the team at Elisio that made those months that were stressful and scary...for both of us, bearable. The receptionists upon entering the building, always bright and bubbly, always on point, juggling residents, visitors...all the things, with smiles and amazing energy. The NAC, CNA's RN's, rehab personnel, and the case managers, ....so kind and knowledgeable, I had incredible conversations with accounting - never a fun call, but they just worked with us, helped us, guided us, and were truly there every step of the way. Nobody wants their family member in long term nursing care. It's hard, but sometimes there are just no options, and Elisio was absolutely the best option.

My husband was there for 10 days after a hospital stay. There are pros and cons…read more Pros Building is clean with no institutional smell. Staff is attentive and very pleasant PT and OT were very good and made sure they gave my husband the attention needed to regain his strength Cons Parking is horrible. I spoke to the Administrator about when I saw at least six staff members parking in front rather than around the back so there was no room for visitors, He was almost rude and pretty much stated it wasn't his problem. Food was less than stellar. They were supposed to take orders so you didn't have to eat the meal of the day, sometimes that happened and sometimes not. Way over salted but when my husband mentioned that he was told they didn't salt anything. Might want change who the food is sourced from. Beds were so uncomfortable according to my husband. Activities were not something most would want to participate in, It was better than some but there is still room for improvement and if the higher staff members don't see a problem then nothing changes

The only reason I am giving one star is because a zero or negative rating is not an option…read more My 94-year-old mother was admitted to Avamere Transitional Care of Puget Sound on a Saturday evening with casts on both arms extending from her fingers to above her elbows. Upon arrival, she was served a meal consisting of a hoagie roll with two very thin slices of turkey, a piece of Kraft cheese cut in half, cold fries, and fruit that was unrecognizable. This raised immediate concerns about basic care and nutrition. The goal of short term rehabilitation is to help patients regain strength, improve their health, and return home to their normal activities. Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. My mother became weaker with each passing day. Given her condition, it should have been immediately clear that she required assistance with basic tasks. However, it took until the following day for staff to recognize that she was unable to feed herself. When assistance was requested for toileting, a CNA stated in front of me that my mother could use her diaper and would be cleaned later. This appeared to be standard practice, as she was frequently left in bed until the afternoon and not regularly assisted to the restroom. As a result, her hygiene declined significantly. A physical therapist later expressed concern about her condition, noting that at 3:30 PM she was still in bed and had not been properly cared for. Communication throughout her stay was extremely poor. There were constant staff changes, and no clear continuity of care. Nursing and physical therapy appeared to operate in separate systems with little coordination. Despite multiple requests, we were never able to speak with a physician at any point during her stay. During this time, my mother developed pneumonia. We have since moved her to another facility. Within the first 30 minutes of her arrival at Orchard Park, she received more care and attention than she did during the entire two weeks at Avamere. I fear for patients who do not have an advocate, as they may be left with little to no care. Overall, the level of care, communication, and coordination fell well below expectations.

I have been a vendor at this community on 3 separate occasions and each time I've entered this building there is an overwhelming smell of urine. its not just in one spot it is in the entire community. I actually had to bring a sheet to put down on the chair I used for my class because the chairs all smell of pee. Its really outrageous that this is the standard for this community. This shows a profound lack of leadership, any manager that allows residents to live in that level of filth while charging the ridiculous costs that they charge should be fired. I am a former Activity director, and physical therapist assistant I have been in countless facilities and if a place cant keep up basic cleanliness how can they care for residents. They also have no communication and they do not pay their vendors. FIND PLACEMENT ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR LOVED ONE!
