My father moved into Avista Sumner. His apartment is nice. So far, everything has been good. I would say, at the very most, they are probably understaffed. But I've seen everybody here participate in everything. They have board games, puzzles, bingo, and exercises. The food needs more salt. The price is reasonable.

Avista Sumner was a very nice place. They've got very friendly people. The rooms were a little too small for us, but the community was nice. The director was nice. We had a great tour. If the rooms would have been bigger, I would have considered it for my mom. The staff I met were great. They were very friendly. I did try the food, and it was good. The dining area didn't look like anything special. It just looked like a very dull cafeteria. What I liked best about it were the location and the staff.

I toured Avista Sumner. The director was great. It just didn't offer the amenities that we were looking for that we think our mom would enjoy. It seemed for older clientele who needed more care than what we hoped that my mom would in a short period of time. It's an older building, but it was laid out nicely. It had a refrigerator like you would have in a hotel room like a mini fridge and a microwave, but that was it to the kitchen. There was an exercise class going on when we were there. It sounds like they do quite a few in-house activities, but it doesn't sound like they have a lot of outings and that sort of thing.

It was wonderful, and I will rate everything in there a five. I haven't tried the food, but I looked at what was being served and things; it's more homestyle. It was nice, like something that you would have at home. They did offer a couple of different selections, which was nice too. For my dad, home-style cooking would be much more to his psyche. It's all on one level, so there are no elevators or anything like that, which was wonderful. It's like a big circle, so you can go in any one direction, but you always end up back at the same place. They had a nice big courtyard. They offer assisted living through the end of life.

I've toured here, it has the same layout as the other place I toured, it's a nice place. They've got a good layout, the room has a small kitchen and nice, handicapped-accessible bathrooms. There's plenty of room even for a studio apartment. They'll take you around if you need it. They can take you from beginning to long-term care, which is pretty nice if somewhere down the road you don't have to move somebody. They have game rooms set up, they have a courtyard, and they have a smoking area. It's overall a nice facility. Their dining area is nice and they have a lot of space between tables. It's small, they have about 40-something units. The staff is very nice and very helpful. The place is all nice and clean. What I like best about it is it has the potential for long-term care if you need it.

I've been here several times. My mother just likes it because it's small, homey, and the coordinator said there's supposed to be some remodeling done, but COVID came, so the money had to go to that and that they're planning to fix up the landscaping, which needs it. The staff is very knowledgeable, we got along very well, and she's been communicating with me. She's working with us, because mom, we meant to move her, so she's held everything open for us and is helping me fill out the paperwork. She's just very helpful. She showed me the menu, and I'm gonna go down there today. I got to call her first because I need to talk to a financial type person and make the payment and all that. And then I'm going to ask them if I can talk to the cook because they don't exactly cater to the gluten-free menu. I'm worried about that. But she has a little refrigerator in her room and she can microwave stuff, or I can bring her stuff down if she can't find something on the menu that she can eat because she's gluten intolerant and she has allergies. It looks like they have somebody on staff for maintenance, and it just looked nice, like my mom said it's very homey and pleasant looking. It's one story, she's not impressed with the big multi-story buildings because they're just too much. They have a big courtyard and apartments are like a donut going around that. And of course, the people on the outside get the parking spaces. The building next door is on the other side, but they have a big dining area, and big slider doors and they open that up in the summer and they have gatherings out on that patio. There's a kitchen available with a stove in it and a dining table type thing that we can use. They do the residents' laundry, but there's a separate place that we can use, like at a laundromat, if we need to do anything else, bedding or something. But yet there's no cooking in the rooms, other than the microwave. And so I got her an electric tea kettle.

I liked how it was laid out and I liked that it was nice and clean. I liked that it was in a kind of a circle, you go up one hall, you can go across, and come down. I just like the way the building was laid out, it was very nice. I went to see assisted living since it would have to be full care for my dad. Diane was the person onsite that gave me the tour and she was very knowledgeable. I saw their menu on the wall and they looked very good. They also had lots of stuff like puzzles, music, and a lot of other activities that they could do but I didn't necessarily see them. They just told me about them.
