ACE ALF is a jewel. The level of care my dad received at other well known facilities can't compare to ACE. This place has been a blessing for my dad and our family. The staff has been so attentive to my dad. From overall hygiene, vibrant skin, and even a haircut and shave if needed, no detail is left undone in this facility. The place is kept clean, that you would never know it's a Senior Care Facility. The food is so exceptional that my dad is always asking for more. He gets 3 full course meals plus snacks, which you can provide if you like. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the owner was decisive and took the initiative to protect the residents before State officials released guidelines. The owner works diligently to ensure every resident feels at home. You can rest assured your loved one is receiving the personal care they deserve.

With Covid it's been difficult to get in, but I think they're doing a great job. You will find a very caring staff. They seem to really care about the needs of their patients, and they are extremely friendly and cooperative. The food is delicious. I don't think you could find a happier place. It's a very small place, and they're authorized to have only about 5 clients at a time, which means everyone gets lots of personalized attention, which is good. So the residents aren't just sitting in a corner by themselves with nothing to do. It's small community, so they see each other and interact with one another.

I did not see placing my loved one in a facility. We said, "In sickness and in health". It meant I was not capable of caring for my husband in our own home anymore. It was an emotional process for me. I know I am not alone in that whether it means we cannot care for our loved ones in our own homes, or they cannot stay in their own home own their own or with help. That is hard to grapple with. We I found Avalon, it felt like our own home. It is warm, friendly, and immaculate. The residents were also immaculate. I did not smell urine as many of the places I toured did. I knew this was the place for my husband. The residents had varying levels of memory impairment and forgetfulness just like my husband. It felt good knowing he was not the only one. The caregivers, lovely and helpful. He thrived having the same daily routine and eating home cooked meals at a kitchen table with his new family. The office manager and team were always there for me. "A" goes to Avalon!
