Avendelle at Lavendale Circle

Look no further for truly loving quality care given by those who have a heart for the elderly. They DO what they say. There is no smoke and mirrors. Ask for Jennifer at Lavendale, she is amazing. Full family care!

My wife is in Lexington Place. It's a regular house and not like a facility. I think they have 9 residents. They have a doctor and nurse that comes in once a week. Her room has a dresser and a closet. The place is nice and intimate. It's like a regular house with a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The food is good. I ate there a couple of times.

My grandfather became a resident of this facility shortly after being diagnosed with severe Alzheimer's. I'd have to say that as far as nursing homes/assisted living homes go, this one is not too bad. The center isn't actually a center at all, its a house. It can only accommodate a few residents at a time, and I really liked the idea of with it being a much smaller setting than your usual nursing home, the residents get more individualized attention. The residents have their own bedrooms (my grandfather's room included a really nice flat screen TV). One of my favorite aspectsof this facility being a home environment, is that they really play up the family vibe. The residents gather around the dining room table for every meal, they can lounge around and visit with family in the living room, they even have entertainment for the residents in the form of music and dancing. My only complaint about Lexington is that in the last couple of years there's been a lot of turnover with the staff. I don't think its great for the residents, especially the ones who suffer from Alzheimer's, to see so many new faces going in and out of the facility. Also, some of the nursing staff can be really unprofessional, gossiping about the families of the residents who live there in front of visitors, carrying on about their love lives, etc. Overall I would recommend Lexington, I just feel that a more professional staff would better suit this facility.
