Avalon Health & Rehabilitation

Don’t judge the age of this home. People are very kind right here

We were pretty upset when we first arrived at Avalon because It turned out to be primarily a nursing home not the rehab resource we needed - we thought. Our 99 yr old mother was ordered into rehab after a minor stroke last month so Avalon was a shocker to us! It took a couple of days for us to see this diamond in the rough. It is clean, the food is pretty good but most of all the everyday staff is exceptional and the rehab specialists were wonderful. Patient, caring, helpful to the family and to the patient. Yes, it is an older nursing home with old cheap blinds, needs a new coat of paint, rooms are very small with miss-matched furniture and it has many patients, some very helpless, in wheelchairs in the halls during the day but don't judge this book by its cover. I gave it 4 stars, not 5 because the management was less than friendly and hardly ever seen. The staff is what counts and they carried the day. A special thanks to Jemeka!

My mom was a resident at Avalon for 14 months. During that time, the staff was caring, responsive, and dedicated to her care. It was a good partnership between the staff and our family. As my mom declined, the staff was always there for us to answer all our questions, help us with difficult decisions, and to hug us when we needed it. There were of course some bumps in the road but they were always addressed. I highly recommend Avalon!!
