This isn't the easiest thing to write, but I am writing this because the staff at Encore deserve to…read morehear my thoughts, and you may want to as well. I wrote something here quite long...then came back and cut out a lot. You don't need all the details. If you're reading this, you know the story. A difficult road led to having to find a long term care facility. I have seen other facilities. My mother had developed Alzheimer's in 2018, and very shortly thereafter my father, now alone, also needed a care facility. I engaged in a search, and some of the facilities were heartbreaking. I was frightened by the thought of that being the only option. Long story short, my family was incredibly fortunate to find Encore at Avalon Park in December of 2018. It's a lovely environment. The key here is I was able to let my parents be together. Together in their own small apartment, enjoying their own place, eating good meals, had a routine and received all necessary care. They were happy together, and safe. And...the staff. My eyes are welling up as I write this...my God...what a blessing they have been. They LOVED my parents. My mother passed away (she was 92) in 2022. The amount of tears and grief by everyone who cared for her...the emotion was so...honest. And since then, they have cared for my father as if he were their own relative. Every time I have visited, I have seen their care firsthand. From the Director Monica to the nurses and aids...everyone has been such a reassurance to me. It is June 2026. My father doesn't have a lot of time left. The care and emotion is very evident. I feel blessed to have been able to provide this final gift to them...a nurturing environment that cared. What else could I have asked for? Thank you...all of you. More than I can ever say.

I can not say enough good things about this facility. My brother has been there for over 6 months…read moreand I am very happy with the care they provide to him. Encore went out of their way during Christmas to make the residents feel loved and to experience the holidays. The quality of the food is excellent and tailored to the individual. My brother's room is always neat, tidy and clean smelling. He is handicapped, so the staff has done a great job being receptive to his needs. There are a ton of activities. My brother has a full calendar of events to do on a daily basis. Encore has outings and they have a lot of events at the facility so there is a lot of interaction with the public. The location is excellent. It is a block - walking distance to the Publix or the CVS if I need any supplies. I also can walk to about 10 restaurants from Encore, so it is is easy to take my brother out for dinner without even having it get in the car. I highly recommend this facility and could not have found a better place.

I had heard of this place before but never had a reason to visit until now and I was very…read moreimpressed. The property is beautifully laid out, with the assisted living and memory care unit located in the last building for a sense of privacy and calm. Check-in was quick and modern with an AI system that scans your name and takes a photo for added security. Each area is clean, organized, and secured with locks. Inside, there are inviting gathering spaces for games, activities, and entertainment, and the rooms are designed to feel like home rather than a facility. One of the most thoughtful touches I noticed in the memory care unit was the personalized photo frames outside each resident's door, often showing them with a spouse or in their younger years. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a pleasant scent throughout the building. During my visit, I saw residents enjoying themselves in different ways--some were watching TV, some resting peacefully, and others actively engaged in activities. Everything about the environment made me feel confident in the level of care and dignity provided here. If I were looking for a place for my own family, I would feel at peace choosing this community. Honestly, I could even see myself living here without hesitation.

Robert's attitude was very Joe Pesci character in "The Super, Give me my money" this is very said as the staff and people here are all great and thoughtful.

The walls are paper thin, it took over 7 months to get a window fixed. Angelina in the office has an attitude problem and always sounds miserable. Took two weeks to get my key card fixed. Told me that since my number is not a 407 area code that it won't work for the box to get in the apartment so I had to download an app. My boyfriend and I never had friends over, never played music loud but we got four noise complaints and police at our door because we were talking too loud for the others around us... that are over the age of 50. So if you're looking for a senior home or a retirement home it's perfect for you! Just make sure you don't talk or watch TV too loud after 7 PM.

Mind you I cleaned the place and was paying them the entire contract. Well they stated if I turned the keys in a month early even through I'm paying the remainder of my contract I have to pay an additional " Notice Fee of $2,142. I said wait, I'm paying my contractual obligation and giving you the opportunity to fix it and have it rented and your still charging me, they said yes well it's not Nov 2 and I've been waiting on management and corporate to response, nothing as of today. Which is typical of this unprofessional and unethical management team. This is by far the worst place you can call home. I will start with the false advertisement that this is a gated community, it's not. The gate has broken 95% of the time. Which has caused many cars to be broken into. The week the gate was working they decided to put the visitor and guest code boxes next to each other. Parking forget about it, unless you can secure a garage you are on your own. Don't even try to park near your building after 5, you will be walking several building. The indoor basketball court, well is not 24/7 as advertised you must reserve it. You can't use it after hours or Sunday, and the summer of 23 it was closed due to issues that weren't resolved, then this past summer they held a summer camp for kids that didn't live there The entrance to the pool and bbq area has been broken for years, the mailroom key hadn't worked since I moved in in Nov of 2022. They charge you $3 for recycling but you must take it to the other side of the complex. The grounds have gone downhill with every management team, yes we were on our 4th team in 2 years. The gym equipment is not kept clean nor do they have any to disinfect the equipment. Your lucky if you can access the game since they have nothing but problems with their internet. We paid $27 for trash valet but if you live in the third floor it's hit and miss as you can see by the pictures. That's a Tues/ Wed and Thurs. then you call the office and they say call the trash company. Well I pay you 5/5 not the trash company. Packages are stolen from your front door, I had to install a camera. Oh let's talk about the homeless issue, they live behind the GYM and in several occasion early in the morning they are sleeping or walking around the common areas. Pest control is another automatic charge, but you have to place your name on a list and be home. You got people working on their cars and commercial trucks parked in areas you can't drive by. I can go on and on.

Great team and property looks great! Thanks Haley for finding an apartment for my friend!read more
