Had a wonderful experience getting my mother into this wonderful Memory Care facility following her hospital stay.<br>The people there were so understanding, comforting and supportive. They made a difficult decision possible.<br>My mother has adjusted in just a matter of weeks. She now jokes around with the staff members, has made a friend who is also a high functioning dementia resident, has had her hair done by the in house salon and loves the food!

I couldn't have picked a better place to place my spouse who was suffering from dementia. Avita is a wonderful, clean, happy place filled with caring staff. There's a wide choice of activities for the residents and the food is healthy and farm to table. The care he received was wonderful.

We have been so pleased with the care my aunt has received at Avita of Wells and feel very comfortable recommending this place to anyone with a loved one with memory care needs. I can’t say enough good things about the staff, food and the cleanliness. From the executive director, all the way to the people providing daily care, everyone has been caring, friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. We toured many different facilities throughout Maine and Avita not only exceeded our expectations but was surprisingly the more affordable option. We are so thankful to have such top notch care so close to home!

My mom and dad moved into Avita before the full facility was completed, and both passed in the community with hospice care. I really struggled when it was obvious that they needed more care than we could provide, and I did extensive research to find a good memory care facility for them to live in. Avita of Wells was less than 10 minutes from my home, and I was able to observe the community at all different times of the day, both with expected and unexpected visits. The level of care and affection with which my parents were treated was unexpected, and unparalleled. And when each passed, the care that my family and I were given was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this amazing place!

The entire staff at Avita of Wells not only provided great comfort to my mom, who resided there for over three years, but to her family near and far with tremendous compassion and diligent communication. I never announced my visits in advance. Mom was always clean, comfortable, and safe. She was able to maintain her dignity throughout her battle with Alzheimer’s disease thanks to the great care she received. I highly recommend Avita of Wells if your loved one is in need of full-time residential care.
