Our mother, who has dementia and requires 24-hour care, has been a resident for more than 3 years. The staff are like family members to her and we have found it to be a comfortable fit. Other than a bit need of updating, this home provides everything we could hope for.

There’s not one complaint or concern I had with Avalon throughout the many years they cared for my dad.

It was a journey to find the right fit for my father with Alzheimer’s. He was diagnosed at a young age which made it tough to find a place that could handle his needs. He was still strong and mobile which required extra attention. Before finding Avalon, we tried a few hotel style homes who weren't able to care for him. We then found Avalon, a small community. The communication with the caregivers and front office was great. They intimately knew residents and my dad was able to get personalized attention. It made a huge difference in his quality of life, and ours too, knowing he was in good hands. Even though my dad could be a handful, they didn’t give up when the going got tough as others had. It can be unpredictable and quite draining. As I cared for him myself at one point, I know the immense level of dedication that it took and will be forever grateful to the Avalon team. They kept me informed of things I needed to be informed of, but the burden of caring for him to themselves.

Just what our mom needed

After looking at several large facilities, we were very pleased to find the small, home-like setting at Avalon where my mom is treated like a family member instead of a patient. Our mom has dementia and needs help with walking, meals, bathing, and medication. In her 3+ years at Avalon she has been well taken care of. We have found the staff to be caring and attentive. The administrative team has been very good with updates and communication, especially during COVID. We really like that all residents are together throughout the day, from meals to activities to watching TV. While the home is a little dated and could use some updating and painting, it is always clean and safe. We’ve had a very good experience and would recommend Avalon to other families.

[name removed] is great!

[name removed] was my father’s caregiver for three years. Her consistent and thoughtful care improved the last years of my father’s life. She has a pleasant demeanor, remembers names and converses well with others. My father was at various facilities during his last years. [name removed] and the Avalon house team are the only caregiver that got to know him personally. I highly recommend this facility.

Caring environment

The staff at Avelon House are what makes the home work. They not only tend to all the day to day tasks for the residents, they truly care about them. In the case of my father, [name removed] in particular, does an amazing job. She has made the effort to get to know him and understand him. As a result he feels very cared for and is a happier resident for it. Thank you [name removed] and Avelon, for taking such great care of him!

Exceptional care!

The experience I had at Avalon and the care of my dear mother by the caregiver [name removed], was truly a blessing!! If I could give [name removed] ten stars I would. My mother suffered from dementia and after a debilitating stroke became such a tremendous challenge to take care of. [name removed] handled my mother with compassion, dignity and love which truly warmed my heart and put my family and our friends at ease. [name removed] could bring a smile to my mother's face which helped ease our pain during her darkest days which was truly remarkable. [name removed] became like a sister to me and treated my mother as family. Kudos and gratitude to Avalon for having such a wonderful caregiver!! I can't thank them enough for the care my mother received and particularly, for Angel [name removed]!

My husband was a patient there for three years

My husband was treated with compassion and respect while a patient at Avalon. I was encouraged to visit him and always made to feel welcome by the staff at any time I chose to visit. A high degree of professional care was always present and each patient was cared for with respect and dignity. When an outside expert was needed, the staff was quick to access the needed help.

A Home away from Home

The administration team is amazing and caring. Our go to person who takes care of my Dad is sweet, communicative, and has become apart of our family. Avalon is a place that we had to wait on the wait-list for. But the care my Dad has received there has been amazing and it was worth the wait. I feel lucky to have met all the people I have that work there and that they care so much for him. Three people who I need to recognize due to how amazing they are: [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]. These three ladies have made sure my Dad is well taken care of and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.

We had our mother in this house for about eight years. We could not speak more highly of the care that she received. The staff became our family, and close friends. We were so blessed to have them care for our mother, and put complete trust in them. We will be forever grateful. [name removed] was just an angel sent from above

A place that should be positively considered

I'm very happy with Avalon House. My mom is doing very well here; it's affordable and the care team is really wonderful. I've already recommended them to other people, especially if they're looking for a place to send someone who has dementia or Alzheimer's. It's definitely cost-effective and that's really the thing that's most horrific in the United States, the cost of care. Once they move out of their ability to be independent, the cost is horrible. Unless you're a very wealthy person, there's not a lot of help for the middle class. Here, it's affordable and I also think it's good for someone who has this disease because it's a small intimate setting with not a lot of things going on, and not a lot of people like other places.

Tour of Avalon House

I toured Avalon House on Woodacre Drive and I liked it. The room they had available was not what we wanted at the time. We waited a bit and ended up seeing a different Avalon House location, which turned out to be the perfect fit for our loved one and family.

Very Caring Staff

The staff is very caring and it’s a very good environment for family members. The food seems good food. My mom likes the variety. The outside grounds are very nice. There is enough parking. The only issue that I have is that the residents they have are all very limited and advanced in their diseases. My loved one is active still, so she can be a little lonely.
