Our family truly was blessed to find Avalon House

Our family truly was blessed to find Avalon House. Thank God we moved Dad to Avalon House! While the lockdowns were hard on everyone, I was so thankful that he was in a safe place. In the four years Dad was with Avalon, never once did I worry about his care and well-being. If he couldn’t live independently because of his physical limitations, at least he lived where the staff truly cared about him. The staff are compassionate, patient, & loving individuals. One staff went above & beyond & supported my family as much as he supported my dad. They genuine care about those in their care. You have to be a truly special person, with a wonderful heart, to make the kind of difference in peoples’ lives that the staff at Avalon do.

Warm, friendly care for my husband

My husband has resided at the Avalon House on Woodland Drive for nearly 3 months now. His health is poor but his care is wonderful. All the care team are both loving and skilled. He is always kept comfortable, clean and well-fed. The Med-Tech makes absolutely sure that instructions from his medical care team are followed to the letter. The decision to put a loved one in a nursing home is never easy, but it is made easier by this very warm environment. And there is often laughter in the house, which adds to the good energy. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.

Compassionate Care in a Residential Home Setting

My mother was a resident of Avalon on Woodland Drive from 2020 until her death in September 2023. I am forever grateful to the staff for the amazing and compassionate care she received throughout her time there and especially at the end. I could not have asked for a better situation. They really knew my mother. She needed help with all aspects of life and the team treated her with dignity and respect. She had her own room, she was well fed, always had clean clothes and was well groomed. She had the same main caregiver for all three+ years. The common areas were always clean and organized. I had looked at a lot of options prior to landing on Avalon, I liked the care philosophy and the cost compared to other private homes in the Northern Virginia area was incredibly reasonable. The team at Avalon made my mother's last years as good as they could be with Alzheimer's. Thank you for everything.

There’s not one complaint or concern I had with Avalon throughout the many years they cared for my dad.

It was a journey to find the right fit for my father with Alzheimer’s. He was diagnosed at a young age which made it tough to find a place that could handle his needs. He was still strong and mobile which required extra attention. Before finding Avalon, we tried a few hotel style homes who weren't able to care for him. We then found Avalon, a small community. The communication with the caregivers and front office was great. They intimately knew residents and my dad was able to get personalized attention. It made a huge difference in his quality of life, and ours too, knowing he was in good hands. Even though my dad could be a handful, they didn’t give up when the going got tough as others had. It can be unpredictable and quite draining. As I cared for him myself at one point, I know the immense level of dedication that it took and will be forever grateful to the Avalon team. They kept me informed of things I needed to be informed of, but the burden of caring for him to themselves.

Just what our mom needed

After looking at several large facilities, we were very pleased to find the small, home-like setting at Avalon where my mom is treated like a family member instead of a patient. Our mom has dementia and needs help with walking, meals, bathing, and medication. In her 3+ years at Avalon she has been well taken care of. We have found the staff to be caring and attentive. The administrative team has been very good with updates and communication, especially during COVID. We really like that all residents are together throughout the day, from meals to activities to watching TV. While the home is a little dated and could use some updating and painting, it is always clean and safe. We’ve had a very good experience and would recommend Avalon to other families.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the staff at Avalon 6 . I recently transferred a client from a nursing home facility to Avalon 6. My first interaction was via email in with [name removed]. with her easy and professionalism , I could tell right away she cared . Upon transferring my client , I met [name removed] and the other staff members . I can’t express in words how I immediately felt at easy that my client would feel safe , cared for and loved. Even looking around at other residents , I can tell those little extra special touches , i.e., the home cooked meals , cleanliness, dry well maintained and dignity shown ,that Avalon 6 is a perfect place for your loved ones that need additional care . I highly recommend that your consider this place of full of LOVE ! Tracy

Avalon Homes and A Place for Mom saved our family!

When my husband's Alzheimer's Disease was rapidly advancing and I was struggling to care for him while working full-time and raising our two adolescent age children, I needed help. A Place for Mom provided the contact information to Avalon Homes and I was immediately in touch with [name removed] and [name removed] who offered us a room available in a private home. The hardest thing for me to do was to be separated from my husband. [name removed] assurred me that I could visit as often as possible and we set up his room with furniture from home. My husband is currently in a home 15 minutes away from where we live, we can visit daily and enjoy time together in a comfortable, loving home. The care givers are amazing and have provided emotional support to us as well. They love my husband, provide excellent care, and reach me immediately if anything changes with his health. They love our whole family! There is no beter place for memory care!

[name removed] is great!

[name removed] was my father’s caregiver for three years. Her consistent and thoughtful care improved the last years of my father’s life. She has a pleasant demeanor, remembers names and converses well with others. My father was at various facilities during his last years. [name removed] and the Avalon house team are the only caregiver that got to know him personally. I highly recommend this facility.

Caring environment

The staff at Avelon House are what makes the home work. They not only tend to all the day to day tasks for the residents, they truly care about them. In the case of my father, [name removed] in particular, does an amazing job. She has made the effort to get to know him and understand him. As a result he feels very cared for and is a happier resident for it. Thank you [name removed] and Avelon, for taking such great care of him!

Extremely caring staff

My husband has been at Avalon House on Oakview Drive since [date removed]. The staff is very caring and attentive to my husband, and always welcoming when my daughter and I visit. I can tell that the staff cares about him, and that my husband is happy there. He has a bright, sunny room that looks out onto the front yard. When the weather is nice the staff will bring him out for walk around the neighbor and when we visit him on a warm day the staff is always willing to bring him outside we can sit together on the porch for our visit.

Exceptional care!

The experience I had at Avalon and the care of my dear mother by the caregiver [name removed], was truly a blessing!! If I could give [name removed] ten stars I would. My mother suffered from dementia and after a debilitating stroke became such a tremendous challenge to take care of. [name removed] handled my mother with compassion, dignity and love which truly warmed my heart and put my family and our friends at ease. [name removed] could bring a smile to my mother's face which helped ease our pain during her darkest days which was truly remarkable. [name removed] became like a sister to me and treated my mother as family. Kudos and gratitude to Avalon for having such a wonderful caregiver!! I can't thank them enough for the care my mother received and particularly, for Angel [name removed]!

Safely Home

We cared for my mother in law for several years but her Alzheimer's progressed and she could not stay at home by herself for even a short time .She was always an introvert and would become anxious with people she didn't know . Avalon in McLean has been such a blessing for her and our family . From the beginning [name removed] was kind and helpful and assisted us to complete the paperwork and tour Avalon house to see if it was the right place for [name removed]. [name removed]cares for her with great compassion and encourages her to do as much as she can do to remain ambulatory. [name removed] also communicates with me for any concerns or changes in my mother in laws condition and is very flexible is when we visit . I feel very comfortable that [name removed] is at Avalon house, and my mother in law refers to it as her home . I have recently changed [name removed]PCP to a wonderful NP [name removed], who goes directly to Avalon to provide assessment ,treatment and medical advice for [name removed]. This is invaluable for us.

My husband was a patient there for three years

My husband was treated with compassion and respect while a patient at Avalon. I was encouraged to visit him and always made to feel welcome by the staff at any time I chose to visit. A high degree of professional care was always present and each patient was cared for with respect and dignity. When an outside expert was needed, the staff was quick to access the needed help.

The administration team is amazing and caring. Our go to person who takes care of my Dad is sweet, communicative, and has become apart of our family. Avalon is a place that we had to wait on the wait-list for. But the care my Dad has received there has been amazing and it was worth the wait. I feel lucky to have met all the people I have that work there and that they care so much for him. Three people who I need to recognize due to how amazing they are: [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]. These three ladies have made sure my Dad is well taken care of and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.
