Wonderful place clean and cheerful. I noticed how kind and attentive the staff was and trying to engage the people there. The smells coming from the kitchen were wonderful (thanks for the peanutbutter cookies!) I would feel comfortable leaving my family there if need be. Thanks again for showing me around you beautiful home. Chaplain Judy Willams

Avenlea has a "feels like home" atmosphere. The staff wore smiles and seemed to have a genuine care for their residents. With local owners this home should be at the top of your list.
