Change is good, right? The Avamere Family of Companies certainly thinks so! Today, the Wilsonville, Oregon-based healthcare company announced a strategic organization change to move from a company of individual silo entities (Avamere Living, Infinity Rehab, and Signature Healthcare At Home) to a cohesive post-acute and community-based healthcare system. This notable effort aims to further unite the company and its employees.

At the heart of the Avamere Family of Companies is its mission and core values. They will remain the foundation of this new company structure. Avamere’s mission is to enhance the life of every person they service.
