Almond Avenue Residence Club

I chose Almond Avenue because for one, it was affordable and within our budget and meet what my mother-in-law's need. It wasn't quite as elaborate as some of them but it was cozy enough. And knowing her for as many years as I did, it was a good fit and so far that's proven to be true. Plus the staff there is just fantastic and this place has been there for 30 years. My mother-in-law is in the assisted living level at this point although she's bound for level 5 on her dementia. The food is very good because they prepare it themselves, they cook their own food. They have all the exercises, outings, they take the residents to the store, they would also take them to the doctor free of cost if they want to go to the doctor. In fact, this place is full of activities more than she uses. They have people that come in to do church services on Sundays. So it very much fits her generation. This is a no-frills-good-care community at a good price. At this point, I would rate them a 5 for the way they dealt with me and my mother-in-law.

Almond Avenue Residence Club is fine so far. It's what my husband's cousin needed. They have multiple activities all day, including bingo, shuffleboard, Bunco, reading the news, exercises, and trivia. They offer three meals a day. It's very comfortable inside, like a very large home. It's also a reasonable price. I like the weekly staff, but I don't care for the weekend staff. The food is good and there's a lot of variety and options. The place seems very clean to me every time I go in.

My mother-in-law went to live here about 2 months ago. She is 92 and she was not thrilled with the prospect of leaving her home and going to an assisted living facility, but Within a week or so, whenever we came to visit, which was about every other day, she was busy with some group activity. She is very happy here now and looks better than she has in a long time. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and there are tons of activities. I am so glad we found this place for her.

Almond Avenue is a wonderful place. It’s not brand new, but the place is comfortable and the staff is as nice as can be; they were very attentive to the people who were there. The room is like a studio. I did eat there, and the food was very good.
