PositiveA special place for your loved one
My father spent a couple years at the house here with [name removed] and the Avalon team. He had Alzheimer’s and had become difficult to care for around the clock at home. The care he received at Avalon was unlike anything he could have received elsewhere. The small group atmosphere also worked for him to allow him to feel more at home along with [name removed] care, cooking, and oversight. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Avalon.
Response from the communityWe loved your dad and still reminisce about him and his stay with us. We were all sad when he passed away. We are so glad we had the opportunity to care for him and work with your family. Thank you for taking the time to share feedback that I am sure will be helpful to others in the same position your family was in a few years back. It is truly generous of you.

PositiveThank you [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed]!
Well-kept home in a beautiful neighborhood. Thank you to the Avalon House team for the ornament painting, creating a Christmas experience for the residents for the holidays, the lovely photos you placed around the house, and everything you do to care for my dad. It is truly needed, valued, and appreciated. The TV downstairs is broken (not the staff’s fault), otherwise this would have been a perfect 5 out of 5! See you all soon.
Response from the communityThank you so much for taking the time to share feedback. We think the world of your dad. We all have a lot of fun when we paint together. He really enjoys our group painting activities as you shared. We invite you as well as any Avalon family to reach out to us whenever there is an issue. That issue has been taken care of. WE truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Not only do we find it helpful, but other families will also as well. We are so happy you chose Avalon to care for your dad. we look forward to making more memories with him during his stay with us.

PositiveClean
I came in town to visit my mom [name removed] and my family and I enjoyed the visit. The workers made sure my mom stayed up for our surprise visit and the place was clean. The staff and other residents were nice to my kids as far as giving them drinks and snacks while we visit.

We truly appreciate your family and are so happy we get to get for your mom. She is a delight. We are honored we have the opportunity to care for her.

PositiveExceptional care giver
My father has always been a very difficult person, which did not improve with age. A stubborn Dutchman who knows better. Over the years it had been very challenging to get him in home care and eventually he ended up at Avelon where he found [name removed]. Her genuine caring nature, relaxed and friendly approach to residents and guests is exactly what his temperament needed! Getting him to do what is best for him would seem like an easy ask, it’s not! What he needed first was to be validated as an individual. To be…
Response from the communityWe loved reading this. Thank you for writing such a wonderful review and feedback. IT made us all smile. We are so glad your father lived with us for as many years as he did. He will always be a part of the Avalon House family.
