My Mom is so happy to have chosen Avila

The staff is very accommodating, friendly and responsive. Maintenance is great but they could use another one or two to avoid backlogs. There was a food debacle when they changed vendors but that seems to have worked out. The memories are pretty good and they give my mom good support for doing charity sales and stuff. A few more excursion type activities would be cool. But by and large my mom is really really happy with her decision. Also has a lot of great friends she's met.

Three happy years at Avila

After visiting four other retirement facilities, we selected Avila for its friendly climate, services offered, meal opportunities, and several religious services provided on-site. Now, with three years of experience at Avila, we are pleased with our decision to join this community. We also know that Avila was selected the "Best in the Capital Region" for retirement communities through the Times Union for 2024. We now look forward to many more years at Avila.

Recommended

The residents and staff are very friendly at Avila Independent Retirement Community. Everyone in the community wants to help make the transition as seamless as possible. There are many opportunities to learn how things work and everyone is eager to share. The meals are excellent. There are always choices and substitutions are never a problem! Lots of activities to choose from - and kicking back is always an option. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to make the move.

Excellent Senior Living

Avila is a beautiful, health-giving retirement community. My husband and I hope to live there in the not too distant future. My sister has been living there for the past year. She and we have been so happy and grateful for Avila.
