Had it not been for Avantara Lake Norden my Dad would not have had a place to go as we remodeled to accept his handicap. As a US Navy Vet we needed a place and Lake Norden stepped up to the plate. Dad's was a person who needed 24 care as he did not have use of any of his limbs. Avantara's admin and staff have got to be the most heart caring people I have meet in a very long time. It was very hard for Dad to have to be in a place where he knew no one' as his whole life was spent over 230 miles northwest of Lake Norden. The staff helped him feel comfortable and cared for. Thank you all for all that you did for Dad and me during such a stressful time. Again thank you.

I cannot express how grateful we are for Avantara and the staff. Having our mother there - while the remainder of the family was on the other side of the country - made the situation so much easier. They were in constant and consistent contact with us from the beginning all the way to the very end of our mother's life. If you need a facility for your loved one - I highly recommend Avantara.
