Thank you Avalon Villa for everything!! My partner has been here for quite some time. The care offered has been great, especially from his CNA Felicia J at the west station. She was nice, so funny, and very helpful. She was made for this role. The PT team was also good, Christian, always came into the room to work with Chris and was very patient. Now he can finally come home!!

Thank you to Avalon villa for taking great care of my father. He's been here for 7 years and we've never had any issues we couldn't resolve here- a special thanks to Felicia s for helping me in the front and all the nurses for taking great care of my dad.

I have been here approximately 2 months and I wanted to share that one of my nurses who goes by Ms. D has been the best! Ms. D is the perfect nurse, she is gentle, considerate, and most importantly patient. Whenever I need something she gets it done as soon as possible, and if she thinks I needs something she does it for me without me having to even ask. She really goes above and beyond for her patients. Nursing is not just a science of medicine, but an architecture of the heart. Ms. D sees the person, not the bed. For that, I am greatful for Ms. D and all of Avalon Villa for my speedy recovery.

Thank you Avalon Villa for taking such good care of me. I didn't stay long but in the time I was there I was able to do my physical therapy every day, get stronger, and now I can walk on my own again with confidence. The rehab team is the BEST, Vince and Marco always pushed me to do a little more each day and I am so thankful for them. My nurses were all great especially Valerie and Priscilla. They had some activities which were nice too, Bertha, Debra, and Sylvia, made each day fun for me. Really a good place with good people
