Our Passionate Professionals:

While our assisted living homes are superior environments for our residents, it’s our caregivers that keep them that way. Our caregivers are expertly-trained, always professional, and dedicated to what they do. Most importantly, they’re extremely passionate about working with seniors. We continue to be amazed by their commitment, service, and resilience in an industry that can be draining at times. Simply put, our caregivers never stop caring.

Inspire Independence & Health:

When a new resident enters one of our homes, we strongly believe that means they do not stop caring for themselves. While we certainly help our residents with whatever they need, we continue to encourage our seniors to remain active until it is simply no longer realistic. With each day we make it a priority to get seniors involved in everyday self-care, such as grooming, cooking, light physical activity and games. It’s our experience that remaining active keeps the body, mind, and spirit in better working order for longer.

Incorporate The Family:

We’ve always said that Avendelle is like a big family. We are not a large senior care living institution. We promote family time and encourage the family members of our residents to stay in close communication with their loved ones, to send mail, and to visit often. A visit from a family member simply means so much to a resident. We also make a point to stay in good communication with families and update them with any necessary information.

All-Inclusive Pricing:

Many other assisted living facilities pack on additional fees. Costs initially discussed can quickly escalate due to these initially non-disclosed add-ons. However, here at Avendelle, we make it a point to be all-inclusive with our pricing. Our cost is reflective of all services which we provide. We do not have hidden fees, and we do not accumulate add-ons. We maintain a high standard of integrity in our pricing.

What Makes Us Special

The home is convenient to both I-440 and I-540, as well as multiple shopping centers and restaurants, a bonus for residents and their families. This home features spacious, sunlit rooms, large showers, and a fenced-in back patio that’s perfect for relaxing in the evenings. Residents here enjoy the one-on-one attention they’re able to receive from caregivers.
