My mom has been at Avalon since July 2025. We picked Avalon due to the more home-like feel and comfort. The first thing I noticed was how happy and relaxed everyone was.

But the family began to notice more: his clothes were filthy, his hearing aids were never charged. Injuries were “falls”. His toenails were so neglected that we feared he could lose at least one toe. We moved him. The first week, he continually asked new caregivers, “Are you going to hurt me? Hit me? Pinch me? Push me?” Today, tho the dementia continues to steal his mind, he smiles. He’s relaxed. He’s so mu... read more
