Residential Care Home
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!
We cannot express our complete joy and hippieness that our mother received at the Avalon House at Cawdor Court. Mom was there for over 5 years and the total care and attention including the staff's friendship for life was outstanding! Opal and Noel were with her all five years, and they kept our family at peace with their care and love for her. Keith, Rieta, Mark and Marianna.
