My mom moved to Avendelle Carlton Pointe after suffering a severe head injury due to a fall at a previous assisted living facility that was providing substandard care. I had to get her to out of that place as soon as possible. Sue and Jodi worked tirelessly to accelerate the timetable for getting her to Avendelle. When my mom arrived, severely banged up and bruised, the Carlton Pointe staff, lead by Kim, made her feel comfortable, safe and loved, as well as keeping her well fed, meticulously dressed and clean. This high level of care continued throughout her stay, as she recently passed. Up until the end, the Avendelle staff worked closely with the hospice staff to ensure my mom’s utmost comfort, all the while preserving her final dignity.
It is one thing to have a loved one at a facility where the staff is technically competent with respect to the acts and duties they perform. It is an entirely different to encounter one in which each and every staff member acts with kindness of heart. Carlton Pointe, namely Crystal, Sue, Kim, Teleak, Chelsea, Winnie, Esther and others, all fall under this category. I would highly recommend Avendelle Assisted Living to anyone!
My mother and our family are very pleased with Avendelle’s services. We find the staff to be caring, competent and professional. The low turnover is appreciated as it is reassuring to Mom to see the same staff over time. The facility is located in a quiet residential development and is designed to be a functional and safe environment. A recent re-modeling and interior design refresh is outstanding. I highly recommend Avendelle to anyone evaluating care for their aging family member.
My grandmother moved into the Weaver Crossing location in the fall of 2015. As a nurse I know first hand that not all elder care facilities are created equal. In fact many are horribly understaffed where the residents do not receive the care they deserve. In addition, these “homes” lack exactly that, the feel of an actual home. Resembling hospital-like environments, they are hard pressed to feel like a place anyone would call home.
I was thrilled to find the home at Weaver Crossing because it is an actual house in a neighborhood and a beautiful one at that. The staff to resident ratio allows all of the residents to receive individualized, focused care. Speaking of care, the caregivers actually care about the residents and it shows. Sad but true but working seven days a week (I own my own business) does not afford me the luxury to “check up” on my grandmother. Fortunately the staff is very communicative and provides me updates and makes inquiries as needed via phone call, text, and email. The true luxury is that I do not need to visit the home to ensure my grandmother is well-cared for. I know she is. The staff takes excellent care of my grandmother, leaving me worry free.
I found Avendelle Family Care to be the perfect solution for my father, who was developing severe Alzheimer’s. In a small facility, I knew he would get the attention he needed to stay active and safe. From the activities and day trips to the attentive care from the nurses for every little thing, I feel great relief that he has such skilled caregivers. What a homey and comfortable, yet stylish setting too!
