We're proud to be featured by KGW-TV for our sponsorship of this weekend's Portland Pride Festival! 🌈

"I am lucky to have several q***r seniors at my community," shared Maddie Almodovar, Executive Director of Avamere at Sandy. "I myself am a le***an, and I have many staff who identify as part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community as well. It was really important for us this year, especially since it was Sandy's first Pride, to put our money where our mouth is."

We're honored to sponsor Pride Northwest for the fourth year. Celebrate this weekend and wave at us in the parade on Sunday!

Portland Pride returns this weekend, with a downtown parade expected to draw tens of thousands. For LGBTQ+ seniors, the event provides visibility and support.

Congratulations to our Avamere at Sandy team for taking second place in the Sandy Mountain Festival Parade this last Thursday! Our staff and residents loved decorating the bus and wagon for the fantasy forest theme, and our executive director Maddie had far too much fun as the caterpillar. We cannot wait for next year!
