I was there for two months recently. Most of the staff was spectacular considering the condition of some of the patients . Food could stand a better look at it. Management seemed slack ion their duties. One must remember in some ways it is a warehouse..

My father was admitted to the nursing facility about three weeks ago. He passed away today (12/7/24). The nursing staff, aides, and attendants were wonderful. They made him comfortable in his final days. Not only did they attend to his needs, but they also attended to ours. A very caring and compassionate group of people.

My husband is a client at Avante Inverness. I have been happy with his care. The day staff is phenomenal but I can see they are understaffed. Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy have worked wonders! Lots of activities for residents to enjoy.
