Even now with lesser Covid restrictions at other communities, I am not allowed to go inside to visit my loved one. They make me stand outside in the cold and talk through the glass. They get so defensive when I have questions or concerns, to the point that it feels like intimidation. I just feel so constricted, and I am very concerned about why I am not allowed to go in and assess what is going on with my loved one's care.
Response from Avalon House on High Street
February 3, 2022Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. It was surprising to read your comment. Like many of the facilities in our county, we do have modified visitation for the time being due to the increase in COVID cases. During this time, we have offered window visits, Zoom/tablet visits, as well as phone calls as an alternative. We have also been sending photos of their loved ones during this time. Medical professionals such as physicians, hospice, and RNs have been going into the homes. Families are able to take their loved ones out for medical visits to doctors. During this time, all of the families that our team has communicated with have been extremely understanding as well as appreciative for our not only taking care of their loved one, but doing our best to prevent the spread of COVID within our homes. In the case of your loved one, the management team as well as the owner have spent many calls speaking with you during this time. The direct care staff has spent many hours speaking with you either on the phone or during your window visits sharing about your loved one and their care. We have communicated with your loved one’s physician. You did take your loved one out just a few weeks ago and spent some time with them while you were out at the appointment. Since then, the Avalon team has communicated with the doctor, as well as yourself in regard to how your loved one is doing. A home health nurse does come into the home 1-2x per week to see your loved one and they have communicated with you about how your loved one is doing. Your loved one’s children have communicated with us several times recently and shared how pleased they are with the care your loved one is receiving with us. Knowing how much time and care we have spent communicating with yourself, other loved ones, doctors, and nurses in regard to care, it feels quite disappointing to see your comment.

Our experience has only been a brief one, but so far things seem to be going very well at Avalon House! My loved one has settled in well, and seems to be doing much better than the location she was in previously. She's always clean and seems happy here. I do think they could do a bitter better when it comes to activities, but overall it is a very nice place!

July 24, 2020Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We take caring for our residents quite seriously. Hygiene is at the top of this list of importance for Avalon and we are so glad she is always found neat and clean when you visit.
It is a wonderful place for my father. They cater to his needs and make him a part of their family.
We are only one week in, but I am so happy with Avalon House and A Place for Mom. You were there at a time I was so in need! The neighborhood is beautiful, the home seems like a happy place, the caregivers are like the house mothers. We feel very good about the decision. I have met some of the other family members there visiting and they all have very positive comments. Sharon is very good at keeping in touch and letting me know things I need to know about. I am really very relieved and happy, and while Mom doesn't know where she is anyway, I know she feels like she's at home. Thanks
They are a great community. They are a small home with only about eight rooms. My loved one's condition has improved since she has been there. They have PT and they bring musicians and entertainment. They keep it clean and the staff is very friendly. They are a great value, they are very responsive. She is enjoying the food, and what I have been impressed with is they tailor her meal schedule to her preference. They usually do the bigger meal at lunch, and she prefers it in the evening. I really liked the room that was available, and the house was so nice. They have a whole medical team on-call. I'm very impressed.
it seems like the place was adequately cleaned, compared to sunrise, the smell was much fresher, it's always a challenge, but I think it's very good. I thought they were very friendly, very nice, I could'nt find fault with them, the care seemed fine. We weren't there much, so it's hard to really say, my mother didn't say anything, she was extremely involved with dementia and Alzheimer's but she never looked like she was mistreated or injured or ill-kept. We should have gone to Avalon much earlier because not only did it smell better but it was a much more pleasant atmosphere and kind of a more intimate one. It was a house, a good sized rambler, with a yard and the rooms were very nice, pleanty of things you needed and other people around and they have different levels apparently depending on what level you're functioning at. My mom was at the level with where they weren't speaking much but had we gone earlier to Avalon house is would have been better than sunrise and considerably less expensive.
Room available was nice
