Avenir Memory Care

We found Avenir Memory Care for my mother, and she has moved in. They were great. My mother is a type 1 diabetic and needed insulin, so they worked with us to be able to get insulin there because that is an issue with memory care units. They can't give insulin. But they were perfectly up front. They worked with us to find somebody to could come in and give it on a daily basis. They were great with her. All these people have the patience of a saint. They kept telling her where she was, they assisted her, and they helped her with eating. I can't speak highly enough of them. When we went in, they sat down with us and asked, "What are her likes and dislikes? Is there anything she can't eat; anything she won't eat?" And then they adapted the menu to her needs. They have a morning get-together. They play bingo. They get them together for music. In the evening they try to get as many of them as they can into the TV room for a little while before they start getting them ready for bed. So they engage them in whatever it is they will do; if they just want to walk around, somebody will walk with them. But for the most part, they try to get them all out into the daily activity where they can interact with each other. It's ten minutes from home. She was only there for three weeks before she passed away, and they were wonderful.

I found Avenir Memory Care for my mother. It’s new, beautiful, and clean. They’re lovely people, everyone has been wonderful, and I have no complaints whatsoever. The place is lovely, the staff is caring, and I’m very happy. The food is wonderful, and very good. She’s making friends.
