PositiveGreat care for mom
My 99-year-old has been with Avalon for over 2 years and has been very well served there. As a memory care resident, mom receives assistance with every facet of hygiene, dressing, and meal services. Avalon strictly adheres with State of Virginia regulations. They are very disciplined on dispensing medication. Highly recommend it, especially for value.

PositiveQuality of Life Change for the family
The words "Thank you" do not do justice for what the owner and the administrator have done for me and my family but, especially for me. They held my hand every step of the way, responded quickly to my calls and emails with my questions and concerns. They know better then anyone else that this journey is not an easy one to take alone. I have been the primary person for my husband since his stroke in 2019. The team has given me the opportunity to start taking care of myself but most importantly they give exceptional …
