My Mom has lived here for 3 years. She moved in the year after it opened. The staff is still awesome however the quality of the food has taken a high dive off into ‘meh’ pond. They’re making cutbacks that are affecting its merit. The facility is clean and most of the residents are friendly.

As I write this, I struggle to find the words to describe how wonderful Avalon is. My grandmother lived here for a few years—I was her caretaker and would visit her every day. As I did, I grew to love Avalon more and more. She struggled to take care of herself, and when she was unable to, when I was unable to, Avalon stepped in. It was not their role, but it did not matter—Avalon cared. It’s a community that fosters kindness and inclusion. I know my grandmother loved it as well, she loved the employees, the facility, and the other residents. Avalon was a wonderful and joyful experience for her and the rest of the family as well.
