Avalon House on Oakview Drive sits in a quiet, tree-lined residential area with shady trees and sidewalks good for walking, and this place helps older adults who need different types of care, from light help with daily routines to heavier support and even respite care for short stays, with people on staff day and night including nurses, a doctor on call, a visiting nurse, and therapists for physical, occupational, and speech needs, and they've got podiatrist services too if someone needs that for their feet, and there's a specialized memory care section for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, with trained staff, secured areas, and technology like alarm bracelets to help prevent anyone from wandering off and getting lost. Meals are provided all day in a dining room, and they handle special diets like vegetarian, low salt, or diabetes needs, so everyone gets something safe to eat, and all the rooms are accessible including options with fully furnished private bathrooms, full tubs, and wheelchair-accessible showers, so you don't need to worry as much about getting around. Pets are allowed, so folks can bring their companions, and staff can offer help with grooming, bathing, dressing, medication management, diabetic care up to but not giving injections, and incontinence care, reminding or assisting as needed, and there's a high staff-to-resident ratio so someone's almost always around to lend a hand if you need it fast, like with bathroom trips or movement using a lift. Hospice care is available for those who need end-of-life support, and they do all the housekeeping, laundry, and even offer dry cleaning, while safety features like emergency alert systems help keep people safer. People can join onsite and offsite group activities, like arts and crafts, book club, movie nights, lectures, or community events, and there are outdoor spaces like porches, garden areas, and walking paths where people can sit and enjoy the fresh air. Avalon House welcomes those who may wander or have difficult or aggressive behaviors and has a behavior management program for that, and it can handle residents who need reminders or even heavy assistance, so seniors don't have to move somewhere else as their needs change-plus, there's help connecting to healthcare providers and arranging transportation for outings, religious services, or doctor visits. Devotional services happen on site and off, and there's telephone access in every room, and the community center, library of educational resources, and senior, veterans, or disability resources are all there to help people stay engaged and informed. There's space for socializing indoors and outdoors, support for both independence and safety, and a steady focus on helping each resident keep a good quality of life at their own pace.
Professional attentive care in home
I'm thankful we found Avalon House. The staff are professional, kind, and attentive - low turnover, responsive, and providing high-quality one-on-one, 24/7 care in a clean, sunny, home-like house with great meals and regular porch/outdoor time. My wife is happy, well cared for, and communication with staff is clear. Activities are limited and extra one-on-one care can cost more, but overall we're very satisfied.
