AHAVA Senior Residences at Aventura

We are truly grateful to be part of the Ahava community. It truly lives up to its name in so many meaningful ways. The care staff and team members overall are dedicated and compassionate, and we feel very fortunate to have them supporting us. Ricki, the new owner, is wonderfully involved with both residents and families, always showing genuine care and support. The food is excellent, and the activities—led by Daniel and his team—are thoughtfully planned and bring so much joy to the residents. Daniel has such a kind and supportive spirit; it’s heartwarming to see how he connects with everyone. He has a special way of encouraging my mother to participate, even on days when she’s hesitant—she just can’t say no to him! It always makes her happy. Grace is always available to answer any questions about care with patience and professionalism. We feel blessed to be in a community that operates with such warmth, love, and genuine caring from everyone involved.

From the moment we walked through the doors, Ahava Residences in Aventura has felt like a true blessing for our family. It truly is one of the best places to entrust with your loved ones. It all begins with Ricki, the owner — a genuinely down-to-earth and compassionate leader whose heart for service shines through in everything she does. Her caring spirit sets the tone for the entire community. The nursing team, led by the incredible Grace, provides such warm, attentive, and professional care. Corren and Boris are also truly outstanding — they treat every resident with dignity, kindness, and expertise that brings us such peace of mind. In the dining experience, Steven and his team work so hard to make every meal not just nourishing, but truly enjoyable. They pour so much care into ensuring everyone feels happy and well-fed. And then there’s Daniel — the heart and soul of this wonderful community. He creates the most thoughtful, engaging activities I’ve ever seen. He keeps my mom smiling, active, and genuinely happy every single day. What touches me most is that he’s always there when I call, even at 10 o’clock at night. His dedication is truly rare. Claudia complements him beautifully, and together they bring so much life and joy to the community. We are deeply grateful to the entire Ahava team. They don’t just provide care — they create a real sense of home and family. I recommend Ahava Residences with all my heart to anyone looking for a loving, high-quality home for their loved ones.

My family member is a resident at The Colonial (formerly The Sterling Aventura), and choosing an assisted living facility was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make. After visiting several places, we chose this one because of the warmth and genuine care we felt from the staff. The transition was smooth, the apartments are beautiful, and the team has been top tier. We recently reached 10 months, and I truly sleep better knowing he is well cared for. His care has since transitioned to memory care, and that team has been wonderful. Any concerns we had were addressed quickly. Being a caregiver is not easy, but it truly feels like a family environment here. Our family truly appreciates the care they provide. We just celebrated a wonderful 88th birthday and the team decorated and prepared for us a beautiful area for our family gathering! Grateful ♥️
