WARNING: LONG REVIEW…read more We first connected with the Avalon because of a need for respite care for my mother-in-law while my wife needed to go out of town for her work for a week followed by surgery and recovery for a 2nd week. Most assisted-living facilities, memory care facilities, and nursing homes do not offer respite care. Those that do, require a 30 day stay. We did not need a 30 day stay. The Avalon only required two weeks. I am surprised that more facilities are not as accommodating as the Avalon. Many people needing respite care will eventually require their loved one to live in such a facility. What a great opportunity for people to connect with the Avalon. There is a huge need for respite care for caregivers. We applaud the Avalon. More places should be as accommodating as the Avalon. My mother-in-law ended up spending two more weeks for some needed physical therapy. At the end of her being there for four weeks, we determined that her dementia had progressed to the point that we could no longer provide adequate care for her. She had lived in our home for four years, and it was our hope that we could care for her until the end of her life. We had come to the place where that could not happen. Roxanne and Colleen handled the administrative details in getting the respite care in place and in transitioning to long-term care. Both of them were exceptionally kind, accommodating, and effective. The facility Nursing Director Tasha and the memory care floor Director Debbie were very good about partnering with us to make my mother-in-law's stay healthy and comfortable. They had outstanding attitudes whenever we had question, a suggestion, or a concern. On the whole, they were good about getting back with us in a timely fashion. The memory care unit nurses and staff were amazing. They were beyond kind to my mother-in-law and us. They provided loving care. My mother-in-law went into hospice care while at the Avalon. The hospice case manager said that she is in a lot of assisted living, memory care, and nursing home facilities. She said she had never seen Staff continue to be so concerned about a resident after transitioning into hospice as was the case with the Avalon staff in regards to my mother-in-law. When my mother-in-law took her last breath, my wife was by her side with a few staff members behind her shedding tears along with my wife. Basically, staff showed us and my mother-in-law great care and love. Foundationally, isn't that what we really want for our loved ones that have to transition to assisted-living, memory care, or nursing home? During the many times we were there, we never saw a staff member treat any of the residents in an unkind way. It was impressive to watch how they were so patient. People in memory care can be a challenge. The Avalon staff were exceptional in how they handled matters. The Avalon has a contract with a physical therapy company. My mother in law received exceptional therapy sessions from a therapist named Harneet. In addition, she was very kind to my mother in law and us. We were impressed by her personality and how great she was about consistently communicating with us. What a jewel she is. When you enter and tour the Avalon, you will notice it is very stylish and clean. The hallways are wide, and there are multiple lounges on each floor where families can gather with their loved one. You are always greeted by an exceptionally kind concierge at the front desk. Before we decided on the Avalon, I visited approximately 10 assisted-living, memory, care, and nursing homes in the north Columbus area. I spent time on the phone with many more. The pricing for the Avalon is similar to that of other facilities in the Columbus area. We visited some facilities that were even more expensive. The meals are good and they have an alternate choice each meal for those that do not like what is being served. They have a tall van so they can take residents to area restaurants and outings. They can also take residents to nearby doctor appointments. Was the Avalon experience perfect? No. But, I cannot stress enough how comforting it was for us that they considered us to be their partners as they provided care for my mother-in-law. It is important to remember that they have to provide consistent and detailed care day in and day out. It is not an easy thing to do. It would be our recommendation that the families of people going into care draw close to the staff and administration. They do not need to become your best friends, but get to know them. Initially, visit your loved one frequently and at different times during the day. Staff will see your concern, and you will get to see how things are handled. Show kindness to the staff. Don't look at a staff person as another "faceless person" in your life. Learn their names; greet them. As we moved my mother-in-law's things out of her room and left the Avalon for the last time, we were hugged by the staff as we left.
