Avalon House on Oakview Drive

My overall experience was about a two. The cleanliness it was very clean I'd give that probably a four or five. The friendliness the administrative staff is very friendly I would give them a five. The nursing Care staff I would give about a two. For the meals probably at 3:00 my dad mostly didn't want to eat their cooking. There were absolutely no activities whatsoever so that would be a zero. The value for the money for me was not good at all I would give it like maybe a two

This community is excellent, however they do not provide to many activities. They do bring in live entertainment in about once a month. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff really stood out to us in the beginning. Our main point of contact at this community makes a lot of traditional Jamaican food which the residents really seem to love. Our loved one has a nice size room, and they were very accommodating to us because we did not have any furniture to bring and they provided everything for us. The residents went into lockdown before everyone else did, and the staff has done an amazing job with keeping everyone say, no one has been ill. We are not allowed window visits. the only downfall about this community is they provide care to all type of patients, and some of those patients may act out more that make the other residents feel uncomfortable.

We had delivered a piece of equipment to the facility and I realized it was not acceptable to have it there. I do wish I would have known this prior to moving the patient in. Other that that everything at Avalon House On Oakview Drive has been pretty good.

Avalon House has been a good fit for us. As far as activities, they don't really have any since it's a memory care facility, but I seem to remember something about a gal coming and playing music. Everyone there really seems to really care about who's living there, and it's a small facility with a really good ratio of residents to caretakers.

It's really nice, they're wonderful, it's wonderful. My only problem is my husbands not sleeping at night and they haven't said so far, but I don't know if they'll be able to keep him because their business model doesn't work where they can take care of someone who has gained a significant gait instability and restlessness at night. Right now we're working on trying to find medications that will help him sleep at night, they would provide one on one services but that would cost more and I would'nt be able to affored it. In the Northern Virginia area, it's not that expensive and it's really nice. I like the fact that it's small, that they give people personal attention, it's more like a family than an institution, I felt he would like it here more and it seems like he is. Another thing I like is they take them through age in place completely. You pay the same daily amount and you know what your risk exposure is.
