Ava's House

My grandma was here and my mom was at the other one Everyone at the Ava's house was so nice and friendly and every time I would call to check on my grandma they always were more than willing to answer any questions or concerns I had especially after my mom passed when I couldn't go see my grandma for a few days.

This is a very nice facility. The rooms were spacious enough to comfortably have 10-15 guests visiting at a time. There was a "bedroom" within the room for family to stay. There are doors that allow privacy or to close off an area for younger children to play without disturbing the patient. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were accommodating for our family with three children 7 and under. They happily found coloring books, puzzles and games to help keep them occupied while we visited. We were made to feel at home and never felt unwelcome. This helped make a very difficult situation as comfortable as possible.

My mother has been here for a few days, and I have nothing but the most wonderful things to say about this place. I have been through 3 grandparents in nursing homes that couldn't touch this place as far as the quality of care, the patience from staff, the amenities provided. I'm going to try to touch on as many of these as I can. 1. The Staff. Wow. Just... wow. The first day Mom was admitted, we had 2 nurses, a tech and a doctor in here assessing her condition. They spent at least 2 to 3 hours in her room. We answered a lot of important medical questions covering the last few days. There is a great social worker here who helped me work out my FMLA, short term disability for Mom, and printing out forms I needed for the lawyer. She also helped me walk through financial aid paperwork and what is needed. A Chaplain who came to talk to Mom a couple of times, she is more than an angel, she helped give my Mom peace of mind and soothed both of us. 2. The Room. Large bedroom with a hospital bed that has rails on it and call buttons for the nurse. An extra nurse button that is cabled to the wall. A lift that is mounted to the ceiling that can move Mom from the reclining chair in the corner, to the bed, to the bathroom. Moving made easy. A full bathroom with a shower and a sink, can be used by family that is staying. A family room to the side, I'd estimate it's about a 10 x 8 foot room with a couch that has a pull out bed, a chair that also pulls out into a bed, a vanity with 2 drawers and a cabinet, and 2 drawers under the couch bed. There's also 3 folding chairs hanging on the wall in case they are needed. Your own thermostat. 3. The Amenities. Huge kitchen at the front of the building for family and friends to use. Microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster, sink, cabinets full of snacks. They also have a kitchen table. The fridge has sandwiches the kitchen makes for visitors and a basket of goodies on the table. Order from the kitchen 3 times a day, but also room se
