Felt incredible safe!","reviewContent":"We had our mother there for about seven years. All the staff took incredible care of her, we felt incredibly safe to have her there.

Extremely professional.","reviewerDisplayName":"Missy B","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Top notch care for your loved one","reviewContent":"When my Dad's Alzheimers progressed to the point where he needed more care than we could provide him, we chose Avalon House for him. Avalon on Laburnum became his home away from home with lovely Sharon as the head of the house and care. He was there for a few years and received the best level of care under [name removed] and the other caregivers who worked tirelessly to tend to his every need. They made sure he was safe and comfortable, and never bored, scared, or lonely. [name removed] also oversaw his medicine and could pick up on even the smallest health detail that others might have missed. And she was a great communicator, working with me to keep me informed and address his needs. This was during the pandemic which took a particular hit on the nursing care industry. But Avalon took many precautions to keep residents safe and families informed throughout. Maybe the best part for my Dad were the home cooked meals everyday. [name removed] is an amazing cook and the meals were wonderful!","reviewerDisplayName":"Monica Maher","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Highly recommend this community!","reviewContent":"[name removed] and her staff provide a deep level of care and compassion for our loved one. Upon admission, Sharon took the time and attention to learn about mom, her likes/dislikes, areas for targeted care, information to promote safety and her most enjoyable activities. It is a relief to know that mom is being taken care of, safe and living a joyful peaceful life. The care and keeping of residents is among the best we’ve ever seen, including the frequency of bathing and other activities of daily living. The caregivers are engaging and friendly, appear to be happy working with residents. Each meal is nutritious and home-cooked in the kitchen on site. The staff to resident ratio is amazing and allows for personalized care and attention. Our loved one is appropriately dressed. Recently, we received a photo of mom outside enjoying the bright sunshine on a day when we were out of town and unable to visit her. Highly recommend!\n","reviewerDisplayName":"Lisa L","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"What a relief! ","reviewContent":"My father with dementia was starting to be very disoriented in his assisted living facility and they didn't have memory care available. I was worried about his safety and his increasingly tense relationship with his wife. After touring several memory care places in the area, I stumbled upon this gem. The people are lovely, they are attentive, and the whole place is spotless. And best of all, they know how to handle him. He just moved in a few days ago and I am so relieved that they can handle the day to day issues and when I visit, I can just spend time with my dad. What a gift. ","reviewerDisplayName":"Anita Y Coupe","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Loving caregivers","reviewContent":"The staff at Avalon Laburnum took care of my grandmother in 2017. They were so loving, patient, and kind. Grandma wasn't always easy to care for but they went above and beyond to make sure she was always well cared for. It was evident that they really cared about her and the other residents. Many other assisted living facilities in the area are much more expensive and don't provide such quality one-on-one care. The communication from the staff was great. They were so accommodating and really did a lot to make us feel at home. ","reviewerDisplayName":"Margaret G","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Avalon house was like a family to us","reviewContent":"Avalon House at Laburnum Street was a godsend for my mom when her fancy assisted living community could not give her the attention she needed. The small group model was safe and calm as her dementia progressed. The house is clean, cosy, and bright. She had a spacious bedroom but spent most time in the living room with other residents (and a friendly cat!) so she was not isolated. They had excellent home cooked meals around a big table - she called it \"her group\". The staff are caring and patient and really know the residents; staff turnover was low so my mom saw the same people each day. The chief caregiver, [name removed], is cares for the residents with her whole heart and mind, watches their condition carefully, and advised us helpfully on challenges like hospice care. Although there was not a busy activity schedule, the family atmosphere and continuing small-group togetherness were much more important for my mom. ","reviewerDisplayName":"Wendy M","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Forever grateful ","reviewContent":"I am forever grateful to [name removed] and her staff at the Laburnum Street Avalon House. They cared for my elderly mother for the last 3 years of her life. She had dementia and required 24/7 care and supervision. My mom was always dressed neatly and appeared clean, well fed and comfortable whenever I visited her. The staff were friendly and the house was always warm and welcoming. I truly believe I was able to find the very best place for her and highly recommend this home. ","reviewerDisplayName":"Claire I. Wills","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Great care and friendly atmosphere ","reviewContent":"My mother in law was a resident of Avalon until her passing from Alzheimer’s. [name removed] and the team took suck great care of her. It was always clean, the staff were lovely with mom, and we felt very grateful that they took such good care of her to the end. ","reviewerDisplayName":"Sarah L","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"A home away from home for Mom","reviewContent":"I was so fortunate to find out about Avalon Homes. My mother first went to an assisted living place and did so poorly there. It was too big and too many people, basically a glorified hospital but with poor care. I think the staff was surprised how often I came by and how involved I was, because I witnessed it all. I had to get her out of there before she got hurt. Being at Avalon, my mother was in a family residence with 5 other residents, a full time caregiver and other assistants. It was calm and safe. [name removed], the full time caregiver, and I spoke every visit, about my Mom’s care and needs, and she encouraged me to visit as often as I liked. I knew my Mom was well taken care of and It was a relief. To top it off, the cost was less than assisted living and they didn’t constantly raise the cost based on my mother’s needs as the assisted living did. I tell everyone I know that has an elderly parent about Avalon Homes. I was so lucky to find them!","reviewerDisplayName":"Anne R","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Recommend Avalon House","reviewContent":"Mom was independent, full of life & loved a good conversation. When she started having memory issues and ultimately fell, we knew it was time to find a safe, companionable home for her. We found that place at Avalon House (AH). \n\nThe caregivers at AH not only provided the care & support that mom needed, but also the independence and companionship she craved. The staff kept us informed of changes in her health & habits. When mom developed an internal infection, the caregivers notified us and her PCP immediately and supported us through the healing process.\n\nWhen mom eventually declined, the AH caregiving staff continued their stellar support. They communicated with us daily and even let us know when the end was near. They weren't just there for my mom, but for our entire family as we dealt with end of life events. We couldn't have asked for more sensitive and thoughtful staff. We would most definitely recommend AH for the care of your loved one!","reviewerDisplayName":"John D","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"}],"parentOrgReview":{"name":"Avalon House on Gerard Court","slug":"avalon-house-on-gerard-court-9547","averageReviewScoreDisplay":9.7,"communityCount":10,"reviewCount":201}},"communityName":"Avalon House on Laburnum Street","leadgenCompleted":false}
