Press release: Avamere Sets Industry-Leading Contract for Senior Care. This contract includes meaningful wage increases, better staffing, and an enhanced training program for new hires, and that's just scratching the surface. What it really means is respect — respect for workers, respect for patients and residents, and respect for Avamere facilities and communities across the state. Long-term care is incredibly meaningful and important work. It deserves to be respected.
The Avamere Family of Companies is made up of people of many origins. Hate and discrimination against some of us, hurts all of us. Similarly, elevating and supporting our diverse workforce and community of patients galvanizes the positive change and progress we are working toward.
Avamere is thrilled to award Pamela Baldridge, Executive Director at Suzanne Elise, an assisted living community in Seaside, Oregon, as the 2020 recipient of the CBC Leadership Award.

Everyone talks about the new normal amidst the COVID-19 pandemic – for many, this means video chats, working from home, wearing masks everywhere else you go, juggling working with kiddos’ distance learning, and more. Now pen pals can be added to the list. For residents at Avamere at Lexington in Nebraska and Avamere at Park Place in Oregon, this also meant making new friends.
All 33 of Avamere’s skilled nursing facilities across Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington received iPads to connect with loved ones and meet with their doctor through telehealth. Each building received devices depending on the amount of beds. Avamere received between six and eight per building for a total of 257 devices. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services funded the iPads and required accessories.
Avamere is always looking for great nursing and other healthcare members to join the team. Currently, Avamere is seeking temporary workers to assist our nurses with the day-to-day care of our patients and residents. If you’ve wanted to get a foot in the door of nursing and launch your healthcare career, now is the time!
