Avalon House on Dominion Crest

My husband is late stage dementia. I moved him from a reputable chain that was no longer meeting his needs. He had become a round peg that no longer fit in the square holes. A Place for Mom referred me to Avalon 10 and I signed within 24 hours. The Staff makes the House a home. They are caring, efficient, knowledgeable, approachable and loving in dealing with my husband...and me! They really care for him and help him to look and function the best he can be in this time in his life. They shower the residents daily, which was a huge plus in my mind when dealing with someone who has sensitive skin. That, and changing linens daily speaks to their dedication to the residents. Within a month, my husband's dry, irritated, rash prone skin took a 180 turn because of their knowledge, working with me so that he would have the right soaps and lotions to meet his needs. He is always dressed nicely and I don't have to worry a second anymore about the care he is getting. The staff is awesome.

It’s hard to describe how wonderful everyone was to my Mother and to our family at the Avalon House. The staff treated her expertly, and with dignity, as if she was part of their family. The house and yard were beautiful. There was a daily routine with home-cooked meals, exercise, games, and sitting with other residents. They bathed my mom every day, put lotion on her, did her nails and hair. They fed and cleaned up after her, and even did her makeup on special occasions. Her room and the entire house were always immaculate. It was especially difficult because of COVID and her Alzheimer’s disease, but they always made a way for us to visit through window or bringing her out on porch for a visit. When my mother was actively dying, they ensured she was comfortable with the right medications. They coordinated with hospice, clergy, and doctors. I cannot express my thanks enough to everyone that cared for my Mom. I wish we knew about Avalon House sooner.

The staff were consistently extremely helpful, caring and professional. Myself and my siblings as well as our father are very grateful to [name removed]and [name removed]for their patience and respectful care for my mother during her time time at Avalon for memory care. When my mother came to her end of life process with hospice, they were supportive beyond belief to our family. I cannot recommend the memory care at Avalon House on Dominion Crest more highly to others with a loved one needing memory care!

My family’s experience with Avalon House on Dominion Crest was really great as they cared for my mother during her struggle with dementia. [name removed]and [name removed]were her caregivers and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving and attentive team. They treated her with such dignity and respect it touched our family deeply. In fact they even attended mom’s funeral when she passed peacefully—a moment in our lives they were present for, providing additional comfort and peace for the family. Thanks to them and Avalon. Great facility!

My mother stayed at Avalon House for a year an a half before she passed on. The care my Mom received was exceptional in every way. The primary caretakers there, [name removed]and [name removed], treated me and my Mom like their own family members which was extremely comforting for us. I visited my Mom five days a week and she was always squeaky clean, well dressed, and fed delicious homemade food. My Mom’s room, and the entire house, were always bright and clean. I hope I never personally need this type of care service but if I did, I would move across the country for the superior care provided at Avalon by the wonderful and highly skilled staff members.

My mother in law has advanced Alzheimer’s and has been living at Avalon House Dominion Crest for several months. I love that she is in a safe, clean environment with staff that truly cares. My son and grandson came to visit her and the staff did her hair, makeup, and jewelry. It was so thoughtful and even though she couldn’t express it she knew it was a special day!

My mother was at Dominion crest for several years before she passed. I cannot say enough good things about her care there. The staff was always sweet and patient with her, even though she could be a pill. She was always clean, and there was never any foul odors there. I would give them 100 stars if I could. I still miss my mom, but I know she lived her last year's in a supportive environment. During Covid the staff did their best to help us visit with her.

My mother has advanced stage dementia and is unable to express her needs. The caregivers at Dominion Crest Lane go above and beyond taking care of her and the other residents needs. The atmosphere is joyful, the house is clean, and the caregivers take great pride in caring for the residents. I know my Mom is well cared for and in great hands in a way that I am unable to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of my mom.

I was not referred to Avalon Homes by A Place for Mom. I heard about their services from within a support group I routinely joined in the early stages of my bride's decline. I made contact with [name removed] and was immediately captured by the "home" atmosphere. We are now in our second year with Avalon House on Dolley Madison and could not be more pleased. [Name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] are blessed people. In a recent examination by our family physician, the doctor commented, "she is receiving excellent care." Those words even more set my mind at ease as if it was needed. This is an excellent choice over the larger and somewhat impersonal facilities that are available. Avalon is a “home”, a “community” and a loving place. And, the extraordinary staff makes it so!

The Avalon House staff and experience are absolutely amazing. They worked very, very hard to make my Mother comfortable and involved even with the struggles around COVID. They were always warm and cooperative with any requests from my Mother or the family. Their thoughts were always to the benefit of my Mother, not their own convenience. You will not find a better situation for your loved one.

Avalon has been a great place fot my mom. She is well cared for in this home setting with 8 residents. I highly recommend to any family! There are 3 staffers available at all times,. I can visit anytime. When compared to other options, Avalon is priced fairly.

My father stayed at Avalon house for multiple years and we never had a second thought as to whether this was the right place for him. The staff is outstanding and treated my father like family. They were flexible and adjusted to his unique needs. If there is an opening at Avalon, take it!

Avalon House has been a wonderful community for our loved one so far, it is able to provide more of that one on one personalized care and attention. After doing some research when it comes to the value here we are getting so much more for the money. They offer so much that our loved one is able to take advantage of and the care is much greater. The meals are incredible and we like how the staff are able to give specific care to the residents since not everyone is on the same level. Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to other families.

This facility is really good. I'd like to see more physical attention, my loved one is in a wheelchair now. She has physical therapy, but more physical activity outside of that would surely help her. Communication with the family is good. The staff is very friendly and cooperative. They do a good job, I think. Housekeeping is frequent and they do a good job with that also. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

The price is of this place is just right. This community is in a very nice residential area. The staff seem like they live there and stay there constantly they get to know the residents really well.
