My Fiancé recently passed away at the nursing home. The building itself needs work and the food needs improvement. However the caring staff members make all the difference. The 4 months of Drew’s stay were extremely difficult for me but I received support as well as hugs on a daily basis during my visits with him. He wanted to die at home but his health had deteriorated beyond what I could handle. However I am grateful for the nursing team and support staff in those final days that helped me navigate a very difficult time. A special thank you to Sherrie, Jean, Stacey and Shantelle. The staff are the reason for my rating. The company should spend more money and give them the resources they need to help the patients and the families.

Just leaving Aviata! My stay was actually fun, ALL the staff , including the nurses put up with all my button pushing every hour! The food was very good, my compliments to the kitchen people, 1 of the Activities director Yanni was very helpful & went out of her way to help you, actually all the Activities people did! But special kudos to Yanni, sorry l cannot go through all your names, as you ALL surely deserve it! & l also do want to say the boss Shantel was very nice also, & of course l have to mention Kiley, who put up with my quips & my shenanigans! I give Aviata 5 stars, l have been in hotels that gave you way worse service! I recommend a raise for ALL at Aviata, its a stay l will never forget!

Best staff ever. Stacy, Dana and the whole crew are excellent, always smiling. Can’t find people who cares more for the patients. Staff is friendly, lovely and proactive. Love the communication and not less important, It will be an incomplete review if miss the great community of patients we have there. Lovely place…

I was here for about 3 weeks & admit the 1st 2 or 3 days I was thinking I made a huge mistake, but it was more of a settling in issue & everyone getting on the same page, plus I was in tremendous pain from recently fracturing my hip & femur. After those 1st days things just fell into place & I have to say I actually wouldn't leave yet if I didn't have to for other "outside life" issues I absolutely HAVE to deal with. I will admit there are a couple employees that I do not have favorable opinions about but they are far outweighed by the many extremely friendly & highly enjoyable people they do have. While I have my extreme favorites I will not say who they are & let the battle begin between the ones I do name drop here in this long review. Just hope it's a friendly battle & they all survive it LOL. There are others I really appreciated & enjoyed talking to them & I apologize for not being able to remember their names, but I hope they know I'd name them too if my memory wasn't so bad, I wouldn't have remembered all these names if I didn't write some of them down at the start & asking others to help me with a couple others, but some are newer employees & they weren't sure who I was asking about. Let's start with the front office & I guess you'd say "back offices", either way they were the 1st people I met & needed to remember their names to get things done at 1st. Kylie (front office), Dominique (Dietary) & Yanni (Activitie) are all so friendly & can joke around with & just overall super fun to talk to & have around. They all deserve high praises cause I put them through it & they always succeeded in helping make my life a little easier. Stacy (admin & wound care) was extremely helpful & a pleasure dealing with. Now on to the mostly every day people I spent more time with & want to thank them for taking such good care of me while I was there. They are the ones who have to deal with the grumpy & happy & all the moods in between for many hours each shift & deserve the utmost respect. We must all show love to our nurses & physical therapists. The 2 therapists I worked with Alexis & Theresa were very friendly & deserve credit for combined effort with my sheer determination to get back on my feet as fast as possible. They didn't have to push me to get me going but they definitely would have if I wasn't so highly motivated! The nurses & aids were the ones around the most & I have so much respect for them all, even the ones I personally didn't vibe with. They are the true backbone/ work horses of EVERY health-care facility. So I guess I'm saving the best for last, or so they can say in the previously mentioned battle haha. Aid Jean was such a fun & easygoing lady, I loved kidding around with her & she was always so busy helping out with everything. She is an extremely hard worker so she deserves so much respect from a fellow workaholic! I see you Jean LOL. AND FINALLY those nurses who took care of me & all the other (easily 100+) patients in here. Catherine is new from what I understand & I'm telling you now, they best keep her especially compared to others I'm not naming, but a couple because I just can't remember & that's on me. She is very professional & I highly admire her hard work on getting the meds I needed in from the pharmacy, she eventually won 🏆. Christy got all my meds on a consistent schedule which was something I was having trouble with the 1st few days, especially with my pain meds which I needed badly. Then we have Judy & Linda who I really enjoyed talking to when they came into my room. These 4 nurses are stand-outs & deserve to be recognized for their hardworking & very personable attitudes to their job & patients! A+ ladies! Overall I'm glad I chose this place in the end. And hopefully I run into any one of the people working here & get to show them how I'm back on 2 feet running around like a chicken with it's head cut off (once I get there rest of the way)! Thank you very much to the entire staff that works there & double thanks to those I personally dealt with!

Avoid at all costs. This place is absolutely repulsive. It smells disgusting, it is dirty, there's holes in the walls, the patients are crammed into tiny rooms. My mom was here less than 24 hours and we pulled her out.
