A place that should be positively consideredI'm very happy with Avalon House. My mom is doing very well here; it's affordable and the care team is really wonderful. I've already recommended them to other people, especially if they're looking for a place to send someone who has dementia or Alzheimer's. It's definitely cost-effective and that's really the thing that's most horrific in the United States, the cost of care. Once they move out of their ability to be independent, the cost is horrible. Unless you're a very wealthy person, there's not a lot of help for the middle class. Here, it's affordable and I also think it's good for someone who has this disease because it's a small intimate setting with not a lot of things going on, and not a lot of people like other places....

Tour of Avalon House
I toured Avalon House on Woodacre Drive and I liked it. The room they had available was not what we wanted at the time. We waited a bit and ended up seeing a different Avalon House location, which turned out to be the perfect fit for our loved one and family.

June 27, 2022Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. While the room at Woodacre Drive was not exactly what you were looking for, I am so glad that one of our other homes did have a room that felt like a perfect fit for your loved one. It has been a joy caring for them.

Husband is Well
My husband is doing well since his move to this community. It is a lovely community with kind people. They do a great job with keeping everything well-kept. They are taking very good care of him, and his needs. It has been a lovely experience, and we are pleased.

Very Caring Staff
The staff is very caring and it’s a very good environment for family members. The food seems good food. My mom likes the variety. The outside grounds are very nice. There is enough parking. The only issue that I have is that the residents they have are all very limited and advanced in their diseases. My loved one is active still, so she can be a little lonely.

Avoid unless only minimal care needed
Probably ok for Alzheimer's residents, but was not a friendly place for my mother that was bedridden. Staff treated her as an annoyance without any warmth.
