Avalon House on Gerard Court

My mother was 96-years old, had numerous health issues, and had been suffering from dementia for six years when we moved her to Avalon House on Cawdor Court. The loving care that she received at Avalon House on Cawdor Court resulted in her living to just short of her 100th birthday. The staff members were friendly and took care of both her and our needs. The house was always neat and orderly and is in an attractive neighborhood. We always enjoyed spending time with our mother at Avalon house on Cawdor Court.

Avalon House on Oakview Drive is the second Avalon House where a loved one has lived. The home is bright and airy and always looks attractive and well-maintained; the staff is responsive to our requests and very professional. My wife always looks well cared for. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood. After an outing, my wife smiles at the caregivers upon her return and happily reenters the home. We are thankful for having found Avalon House on Oakview Drive.

My mom seems happy and well cared for at Dominion House. The care givers are kind and friendly and the house is very clean and well kept. The residents all seem happy. There is regularly music on in the family room from my mother’s era. The food appears to be great and smells delicious. I would not want to leave my mother any place else.

The staff, both [name removed]and [name removed], and others, are extraordinary in their service and life philosophy. They cared for my mother until end of life and taught me to understand the process with extreme dignity and love. Each moment was a "moment in time".([name removed])

My mother-in-law has been a resident for over a year. She has been cared for with honor and compassion. The staff go to great lengths to make their stay as delightful as possible - continually going above and beyond!

I am fortunate and grateful to have found Avalon Homes Cawdor Court for my 84 y.o. mother. Last October I received the dreaded call from the hospital - my mother had dementia and was unable to return home. I had 45 days to find her an assisted living facility, and I had no idea where to start my search. A friend told me about Avalon. I spoke to the administrator and scheduled a tour. My immediate impression was that this home felt like my mom’s home. The health aides ([name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]) have become our extended family, as have the other six residents. They know my mom and my family so well and provide care for my mom as if she were their own mother. The home is spotless and smells like home cooking every time I enter. I often will spend 1.5-2 hours each visit because it’s so welcoming and pleasant. Most importantly, my mom is HAPPY! She is thriving here and loves her fellow residents and healthcare aides. I couldn’t be more grateful or happier with my experience at Avalon!

My step-father, a Korean War veteran, surgeon and Type A personality, was forced into retirement at the age of 86 due to the emerging consequences of dementia. We cared for him 7 years until the symptoms of the disease kept him up at all hours of the night, making routine sleep impossible. He stayed at Avalon House on Cawdor Court for 22 months and passed away 6 weeks shy of his 95th Birthday. What stuck with me is although his short-term memory had an upper limit of less than 3 minutes, something about the care they provided meant upon returning from excursions he recognized, smiled and embraced 2 of the staff nurses tasked with his care. This detail and his interacting with them as he did me (jokes, direct questions, patience he reserved for a select few) eased my worries about his wellbeing.

My mother was at Avalon Cawdor Court for several years. She had previously been at some larger chains. After constantly getting calls about my mother falling and visiting her and seeing her unkempt I made the move to Avalon and couldn’t have been happier. My mother always looked her best, the environment was always clean, warm and friendly. The homes are located in neighborhoods and residents have their own room. When visiting it felt like visiting someone’s private home. There were only 8 residents with two caregivers. They took good care of her until she passed away. [name removed] was a superb caregiver and I keep in touch with her even 10 years later. I have recommended Avalon to many of my friends and patients. I will continue to do so. They are miles above the larger chain facilities.

I am so thankful for the wonderful care that my mother received at Avalon House #5 on Cawdor Court. The staff are extremely kind and very knowledgeable on how to care for someone with dementia. They truly care about the residents who live in this small home, which is in a very nice neighborhood. When I brought my mom back to Avalon House after a stay in the hospital, my mother said. “ it feels good to be back home.” That brought tears to my eyes because I knew that I had made the right choice when finding a place for my mom to live. My mom lived there for about 5 years. I will always be grateful to the staff and owners who took such great care of my mother when I no longer could.

My mother-in-law has been at Dominion Crest for nearly two years. They have provided the best in personalized care for her. The team is attentive and responsive in a way that provides her with comfort and satisfaction. It has been a nearly miraculous experience for her and for the family. They are the very best.

The staff have gone above and beyond caring for our mother. They are kind and have helped our mother in making the last stage of her life a loving and friendly environment. I highly recommend Avalon House.

The caregivers at this home share and care with each individual resident. What a great feeling walking in the front door and seeing smiling faces on the patients. My mother’s cousin is dressed neatly, smiling, and enthusiastic about a visit. Her personal needs are met so graciously, in this loving environment.

We had our mother in this house for about eight years. We could not speak more highly of the care that she received. The staff became our family, and close friends. We were so blessed to have them care for our mother, and put complete trust in them. We will be forever grateful. [name removed] was just an angel sent from above

There is no other place in the country where I would want my mom who is 94 years old and ailing with dementia to live. The staff there care for my mom was such grace and compassion edits like she is one of their own.

We had our mother there for about seven years. All the staff took incredible care of her, we felt incredibly safe to have her there. We could not have been happier with this whole establishment, and all the staff who work there. Extremely professional.

The Avalon house team of [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]are a special group of Gods Angels. There care and attention to detail is unmatched we have experienced for my Mom. They also have a special gift to care for each family member. There understanding of the aging process and the various stages provides great wisdom an care. They are care givers for the family in every area. I would hope that the Avalon team would get the recognition they deserve as they are quiet, humble care giver that demonstrate Godly Love and care from special Angels. Words cannot how great full our family is for the Avalon team. They are way above 5 stars in there personal and professional care.

Took amazing care of my grandma since the day she arrived. They were detail oriented about her safety and comfort. They took the time to organize her HUGE Med list to ensure her comfort and care. The staff was so friendly and did the best to make sure family could communicate to loved ones through window during covid. I am at peace knowing that my grandma took her last breath in the care of these angels.

The Avalon house took incredible care of my grandmother while she was in her final years. They made sure she was comfortable, content, and happy. They always had different activities going on within the home and my grandmother’s room was always tidy. During COVID, they allowed us to call on the phone and talk to her through the window, which really lifted all our spirits. During her hospice care they made sure she was the most comfortable she could be and really showed exceptional care. The care they gave her was more than just for a patient, but they treated her as if she was family. I cannot thank them enough.

When my Dad's Alzheimers progressed to the point where he needed more care than we could provide him, we chose Avalon House for him. Avalon on Laburnum became his home away from home with lovely Sharon as the head of the house and care. He was there for a few years and received the best level of care under [name removed] and the other caregivers who worked tirelessly to tend to his every need. They made sure he was safe and comfortable, and never bored, scared, or lonely. [name removed] also oversaw his medicine and could pick up on even the smallest health detail that others might have missed. And she was a great communicator, working with me to keep me informed and address his needs. This was during the pandemic which took a particular hit on the nursing care industry. But Avalon took many precautions to keep residents safe and families informed throughout. Maybe the best part for my Dad were the home cooked meals everyday. [name removed] is an amazing cook and the meals were wonderful!
