My mother is very well taken care of and I have zero worries about her care or needs at Avista. I've often visited on varying days of the week and at varying times and the level of care is always very good. They have many core staff members that have been there for the entire time (and longer) that my mother has been in their care. The current Executive Director has been in her current position longer than any other ED at this facility and has all of the staff and residents concerns at heart. The consistency, the cleanliness, the care, the food are all at the highest benchmarks in the industry. They also engage the residents in many activities from group exercises to arts and crafts to singalongs. I could not recommend Avista more highly and know that anyone's loved one would be very well cared for at this facility.

They cheat our elderly. When I moved my Mom in almost 2 years ago, we had high hopes. But as time…read moreprogressed the food got worse and worse. When the residents complained about it, I personally heard the main chef snap at a couple of the residents. My Mom kept a clean apartment in the Independent Living. It was so nice that when they had prospective tenants come in, they would use my Mom's apartment for their tours. However, everything changed when I decided to move out of state and decided to take my Mom with me. When the movers finished we had the Maintenance guy come in for inspection. Before he was even all the way in her bedroom he said they'd have to replace the carpet. There was nothing wrong with it. I asked him why and he stated that he could see where she walked from the bathroom to the closet with her walker. (Normal wear for a Senior Living Facility? ) Seriously it wasn't bad at all but by how quickly he came up with it, I knew it was planned. Then he went to the spare bedroom that she never used and said there was a stain on the carpet. We told him it was there when she moved in. He said go talk to the Administrator Liz. So by the time I got up there she had already been informed that I was coming. She came out like a wet hen ready to fight. I reminded her that the stain was there when we moved Mom in. She said "show me in writing " she said that we should have filled out the checklist in Mom's lease. (The lease is 60+ pages that they had my Mom sign Docusign. How many nanogenerians do you know that understands Docusign? She would have had to print it and fill in the checklist. The Docusign is a PDF file so we couldn't add it to the agreement. My Mom told the office gal when she first moved in but nothing was written down. It didn't matter. They are charging my Mom for new carpet. What a way to treat our elderly. I know they are hurting for money but this is unethical and shameful. I'm personally glad my Mom isn't there anymore. I wonder how my Seniors have been taken advantage of like this..

You pay the facility the application fee, and they pay the rep from A Place for Mom! Ask Hospice instead and it's free and reliable!!!

If I hadn't moved him to this Beehive he probably wouldn't have lasted another 2 days. He arrived to his private room at the Beehive in the mid afternoon and by dinner time he was actually eating homemade soup and 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwich. This was amazing to all because he had pretty much stopped eating prior to arriving. My brother constantly raved about Betty's home cooking. The staff was very attentive to my brother with all of his needs such as bathing, changing his brief promptly and making sure he had everything he needed. The entire place including residents rooms and common areas were kept clean and spotless at all time. There was never any odors as it always smelled clean and fresh. I really want to thank everyone at Beehive, Jayne, Sarah, Barbara, Betty and all the staff their that made my brother feel so special with their kindness and above and beyond care. I give much credit to the Beehive and my brother's physical therapist for my brother being able to no longer need hospice after only 4 months at Beehive and be able to move to a new assisted living where he has his own apartment and takes care of himself now. It is extremely rare that anyone graduates hospice. Thank you Beehive!
