Avalon Senior Living

This Team is top notch!! So compassionate and eager to ensure their Residents are Happy and able to stay social. I would highly recommend Avalon Senior Living to any of my own Family and Friends!

I absolutely love what I have been able to witness here at the Avalon Senior Living facility. My experience began over a year ago while I visited my sister in law in Memory Care. In the 12 month period I’ve seen so many times when the team of employees and caregivers not only took wonderful first class care of residents, but went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, but treated with the utmost respect. I have also had the opportunity to interact and speak with many residents, family members and the very best employees in the Assisted Living community as well. I’ve been told over and over again how much they enjoy the stress free environment, kind and supportive employees and neighbors. They love to welcome new residents and help them adjust to their new environment and becoming friends and neighbors. I love how one beautiful lady put it … we try to help each other out and call the Avalon "The Village " I highly recommend that you contact Peggy Bryson for more information and a guided tour of the Avalon

I cannot say enough great things about Avalon! It has been a life-altering experience for not only my mother but for me. From the start with a tour from Peggy to meeting the rest of the staff and moving in-it has all been a blessing. The food is fresh and delicious and the care has been extraordinary. The rooms are a great size and the whole building and amenities are top notch. I no longer have to worry about my mom’s care and wellbeing and a huge worry has been lifted from me. I have actually moved my mom from 2 other facilities because of poor care and lack of leadership and I have very high standards about where my mom resides. Avalon has gone above and beyond my expectations. Contact Peggy at Avalon to do a tour and secure a residence before they become full.

My 95 yo mother was a resident in Avalon’s Memory Care Unit from February 19, 2025 until April 26, 2025. The building is fairly new and the private room was nice due to her need for oxygen. She had no means to contact staff when she needed assistance as her call light did not alarm within the Memory Care or Assisted Living nurse station. I tested the call light multiple times with waits of 2-3 hours occurring with no response. I ultimately had to visit nightly for hours after dinner to ensure my mom got her bedtime meds at 8 pm (not 4.30 pm by the day aide). I also needed to give her bedtime hygiene including a shower, provide a snack from home, and ensure lights/TV would turn off for sleep time. We used a Canary camera in her room to communicate with her (worked similar to a walkie-talkie) and observed staff could not hear her calling for help nor did they do routine rounds to check on her during day hours. Certain overnight staff were more attentive. Mom needed assistance to leave her room because of her oxygen. In the end, my sister and I were providing hours of care and activity to her daily as the staff usually only took her to meals. The main activities, for the unit residents, were watching old TV shows in the living room, constructing puzzles, coloring and eating a snack. Due to mom’s arthritis, poor vision and need to have her feet elevated, she was not able to participate in those few activities. Perhaps weekly there was BINGO and on Friday a Happy Hour with music she could attend. A new activity director/LPN director was hired for Memory Care but in the three weeks she was there with us, we saw no change in activities or care. Basics like providing hand washing prior to meals or assisting with feeding (plate just put in front of her) did not occur. Ten days after placing mom at Avalon she got a GI infection lasting two weeks (per the aides every resident in the entire building got it). She also took a bad fall during the night that we saw on the camera recording several hours later, as the staff did not notify us or hospice. I took care of my mom’s fall injuries including having staff give her a Tylenol and calling the hospice nurse for evaluation of her many bruises, cuts and complaints of discomfort. We brought her home as she was not getting the care that had been promised, and she was isolated in her room most of the day and night.

My mom needed to go to assisted living and this place just magically popped up. Friends of hers did their homework and decided they were moving there. This place opened in FEB2024 and when Mom needed somewhere to go, they still had immediate occupancy available. First of all the only category Mom and I had for these places was when my Grandpa was in a nursing home for 10 years and we would go visit him. It was almost like a haunted house. People were moaning everywhere. People sitting out in the hall in their wheelchairs would try to grab you when you walked by, crying about how they wanted to go home. So let me be TOTALLY CLEAR: Avalon is NOTHING like that. In fact it's the exact opposite. Let me start with the amenities: workout room, physical therapy area, theatre, chapel, games room, pub, huge dining hall, sitting rooms on every floor, laundry room, balconies with lights and ceiling fans, beautiful 600 sq ft apartments - and I'm sure I missed some. (Oh! My mom's apartment overlooks a horse farm! Also, the food is very good: generous portions, well-balanced offerings, good nutrition, and everyone likes it.) After I heard about the place, I called and grilled the director. It was one of those magic conversations where we just totally resonated. She even answered the questions I had BEHIND the original questions. And the residents are happy to be there. The director told me it takes about 30 days for each new person to fully adjust, but everyone I met was enjoying themselves. The staff work hard to not only engage everyone but help them find purpose. Activities include euchre night, walking club, happy hour, bible study and more - and a lot of those are initiated by the residents! In fact there is a Resident Council meeting once a month where everyone is welcome. They discuss how things are going, what could be improved, and so forth. I've never heard of that! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and they really seem to enjoy working there. I'm very impressed and highly recommend.

Amazing facility and staff! My uncle's assisted living apartment is spacious and beautiful (walk in closet, huge pantry, bedroom big enough for his king size bedroom suite). I've eaten meals with him and their chef is amazing! The executive director and director of nursing have both went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered and that my uncle is safe and comfortable. It's so nice to have an option for our aging relatives that is right in our neighborhood and has so many wonderful amenities to make the transition from home easier on us all. Thank you Avalon!

Avalon lives up to its name and is truly a beautiful place. Everything is top notch and full of light including the people. They are all so inviting, kind and special. Peggy Bryson gave us a tour and has been our angel by our side throughout this process. She is a true gem, intelligent, and absolutely perfect for her position. Best of the best. She is a large part of the heart and soul of the place and her magic is felt everywhere. Have to shout out Marcy, Bob, David, and all the kitchen staff as well. Beyond blessed to have found this wonderful place where they truly want the residents to thrive, and they are.
