This week we’re proud to recognize and celebrate Laken Rains, RN, Director of Health Services, for the compassion, dedication, and energy she brings to our team.
Laken began her healthcare journey in 2020 as a CNA with Avamere, where she quickly discovered her passion for caring for others. Working during COVID helped shape her belief in whole-person care understanding that connection, compassion, and companionship are just as important as clinical skills.
Since then, she has gained incredible experience across hospitals, hospice care, and emergency services, even volunteering as a firefighter. Each step of Laken’s journey has strengthened her commitment to teamwork, education, and empowering others in their health and wellness.
Now serving our residents here in St. Helens, Laken is passionate about providing holistic, person-centered care and helping every individual feel heard, supported, respected, and valued.
Thank you, Laken, for your heart, your dedication, and the difference you make every single day. We are so grateful to have you as part of our Avamere team! 💙 ... See MoreSee Less

This week, we’re proud to recognize and celebrate Twila Olson, LPN, our incredible Assistant Director of Health Services.
A lifelong St. Helens resident, Twila has been a dedicated part of the Avamere team since 2008. She began her journey in memory care and has grown through many roles over the years including caregiver, medication tech, cook, receptionist, and resident care coordinator, earning the nickname “Jill of All Trades” from residents and staff.
Twila’s passion for healthcare started at 18 years old, and her commitment to compassionate, hands-on care has only grown stronger. After earning her nursing degree in 2021, she returned to serve the community she calls home, bringing with her a deep understanding of teamwork, leadership, and resident-centered care.
She leads by example, never afraid to roll up her sleeves, support her team, and step in wherever she’s needed. Twila is dedicated to making sure every resident feels valued, respected, and truly cared for, while also uplifting and guiding those around her.
Thank you, Twila, for your dedication, compassion, and heart. We are so grateful to have you as part of our team! 💙 ... See MoreSee Less
