Avalon House on Cawdor Court

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.

I would give a 5 in all categories except for meals and activities. I would give both of those a 3 or 4. I just think the resident, my mother in law, just didn't really enjoy those offerings. But that could have been more on her than the staff.

Avalon House balances both professional care and personal wellbeing. We struggled finding an establishment that could provide the level of care my mother needed, but we knew we found the right place after a few weeks of moving to Avalon House. The staff cares about the people they watch over and work with the families to meet their needs and expectations. My mom has been able to create relationships with both the staff and other patients. The food they make is homemade and always smells delicious. The house is always clean. They are flexible around visits and welcome us to come whenever. I am confident my mom is in good hands. I can't thank the staff enough for the care they provide and the assurance it provides me knowing she receives attentive, loving care.

Fantastic facility and staff! Communicating with Sandy who goes above and beyond to accommodate you and your family member is more than I can ask for. [name removed]and [name removed] are amazing as well as well along with everyone else. The whole staff is amazing five out of five stars

My aunt has been a resident at Cawdor Court for several years. She is well taken care of. Several of her care givers have been there since she first moved in. She particularly enjoys the breakfast every morning.

My mother was 96-years old, had numerous health issues, and had been suffering from dementia for six years when we moved her to Avalon House on Cawdor Court. The loving care that she received at Avalon House on Cawdor Court resulted in her living to just short of her 100th birthday. The staff members were friendly and took care of both her and our needs. The house was always neat and orderly and is in an attractive neighborhood. We always enjoyed spending time with our mother at Avalon house on Cawdor Court.

Overall we were pleased with our experience. I think our family member would have felt lost in a larger environment. We liked that she was in a home environment with live-in staff and in a lovely neighborhood. There was something comforting to be able to hear a dryer in the background as we sat in the living room and watched TV. The house and her room were kept clean and she was always dressed in a nice outfit. The staff knew her, were welcoming to family members and would let us know if something needed attention. There were times I felt the 2 live-in caregivers should be provided more time off—a lot is expected of them. The management company was responsive to questions and requests. Looking back, while no place is perfect, we are grateful A Place for Mom suggested Avalon.

The staff, both [name removed]and [name removed], and others, are extraordinary in their service and life philosophy. They cared for my mother until end of life and taught me to understand the process with extreme dignity and love. Each moment was a "moment in time".([name removed])

I am fortunate and grateful to have found Avalon Homes Cawdor Court for my 84 y.o. mother. Last October I received the dreaded call from the hospital - my mother had dementia and was unable to return home. I had 45 days to find her an assisted living facility, and I had no idea where to start my search. A friend told me about Avalon. I spoke to the administrator and scheduled a tour. My immediate impression was that this home felt like my mom’s home. The health aides ([name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]) have become our extended family, as have the other six residents. They know my mom and my family so well and provide care for my mom as if she were their own mother. The home is spotless and smells like home cooking every time I enter. I often will spend 1.5-2 hours each visit because it’s so welcoming and pleasant. Most importantly, my mom is HAPPY! She is thriving here and loves her fellow residents and healthcare aides. I couldn’t be more grateful or happier with my experience at Avalon!

My step-father, a Korean War veteran, surgeon and Type A personality, was forced into retirement at the age of 86 due to the emerging consequences of dementia. We cared for him 7 years until the symptoms of the disease kept him up at all hours of the night, making routine sleep impossible. He stayed at Avalon House on Cawdor Court for 22 months and passed away 6 weeks shy of his 95th Birthday. What stuck with me is although his short-term memory had an upper limit of less than 3 minutes, something about the care they provided meant upon returning from excursions he recognized, smiled and embraced 2 of the staff nurses tasked with his care. This detail and his interacting with them as he did me (jokes, direct questions, patience he reserved for a select few) eased my worries about his wellbeing.

My mother was at Avalon Cawdor Court for several years. She had previously been at some larger chains. After constantly getting calls about my mother falling and visiting her and seeing her unkempt I made the move to Avalon and couldn’t have been happier. My mother always looked her best, the environment was always clean, warm and friendly. The homes are located in neighborhoods and residents have their own room. When visiting it felt like visiting someone’s private home. There were only 8 residents with two caregivers. They took good care of her until she passed away. [name removed] was a superb caregiver and I keep in touch with her even 10 years later. I have recommended Avalon to many of my friends and patients. I will continue to do so. They are miles above the larger chain facilities.

I am so thankful for the wonderful care that my mother received at Avalon House #5 on Cawdor Court. The staff are extremely kind and very knowledgeable on how to care for someone with dementia. They truly care about the residents who live in this small home, which is in a very nice neighborhood. When I brought my mom back to Avalon House after a stay in the hospital, my mother said. “ it feels good to be back home.” That brought tears to my eyes because I knew that I had made the right choice when finding a place for my mom to live. My mom lived there for about 5 years. I will always be grateful to the staff and owners who took such great care of my mother when I no longer could.

My relative has been at Avalon House for 11 and 1/2 years. As a dementia patient, she has been unable to care for herself. Her long stay there is a testament to the great care she received from Avalon and her private doctor. As her contact with Avalon I have spoken to the managers of the company and individual manager of that house many times over the years and have always been pleased with the results.

Our Mom has been at the Avalon house for three years now. We were lucky to get her in and so extremely happy since. The personalized care and attention to every detail in her care is simply outstanding. We are even more blessed that we have [name removed] and [name removed], who Mom adores, as Care givers. The comfort that these two along with the rest of the staff creates peace for our family and friends. Keith & Rieta Scott

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. My loved one is content on being here. The staff are cordial to the family when visiting. The food seems to be good for the residents. There is a good variety of healthy food as well.

Facility was filthy. My father passed away there last month. Hospice never came in, even though called. My father was allowed to starve and dehydrate in this facility. Blood on walls, dirty sheets and floors. Absolutely no care whatsoever unless expressly asked for. He had remained in one position for so long that one of his eyes was sunken into his face when I and my siblings arrived. Had to ask repeatedly for him to have some hydration in some form but this was never given. Would never, ever recommend. Place was chosen by his spouse, who also did nothing to help him, however, I would think the facility would have intervened instead of allowing his pre-mature death.

Custodial care only

Great location, very nice accommodations, nice staff, good price - I could stop looking right here!

This is a place similar where mom is now. Would liken this set up to Angel Gardens.
