Avamere at Sandy earned a deficiency-free state survey for assisted living during an evaluation in December 2024. This is the highest possible rating, showcasing the team’s commitment to high-quality care and service.
The survey is an on-site inspection conducted by the Department of Human Services based on state compliance guidelines. It examines resident quality of care and quality of life, dietary services, fire safety, and environmental services. The examination includes interviews with residents, residents’ family members, and employees.
Avamere at Sandy’s Executive Director Maddie Almodovar shared that the state evaluators were impressed by their team’s resident-centered care, interactions between employees and residents, commitment to belonging, and strong systems in place.
“I’m incredibly proud of our team for earning a deficiency-free state survey,” Almodovar stated. “A deficiency-free survey takes the hard work and dedication of every department. It’s a testament to our teamwork and the old adage that it takes a village. My team’s passion for quality care and service is inspiring, and this outstanding survey result reflects that.”
Since assuming her role as Executive Director in fall 2023, Maddie has been a champion of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). She recognizes many holiday and cultural observances with her team and residents, offering multiple ways to celebrate and learn. Maddie is an Inclusion Advocate with Areté Living, leading key initiatives company-wide to promote inclusion and belonging across all Areté Living’s senior communities.
Avamere at Sandy is committed to creating an exceptional senior living lifestyle with their high standards of care, engaging activities, and inclusive environment. Congratulations to the Avamere at Sandy team for this incredible accomplishment!
