If The Avaline is on your list, Cross it off now.

Avaline of River Oaks

There were a few times that my medications were not available and it was inconsistent if I received them twice a day. About 2x a week, I received a 3rd medication dispensed. My room was supposed to be cleaned but it was only cleaned twice while I was here for 6 weeks.
