Wonderful care

My family has had a wonderful experience with Avalon and the care they provide for my mom. From the moment she moved in, the staff made her feel comfortable and safe. One of the things I appreciate most about Avalon is that it is a smaller home. Because of its size, the staff truly get to know each resident on a personal level rather than treating them as just another patient. That personal connection has made a difference in my mom’s quality of life and gives our family great peace of mind. The caregivers are attentive, compassionate, and invested in the well-being of the residents. [Name Removed], in particular, have been great. [Name Removed] goes above and beyond to make sure my mom stays active and engaged. She regularly takes her on walks, which has been wonderful not only for her physical health but also for her mental and emotional well-being. It means so much to know that someone is taking the time to encourage her independence.

Avalon: Oakview Drive, McLean VA

I am so grateful that my mom lives at Avalon Residence on Oakview Drive. Knowing she is safe, cared for, and surrounded by kind people gives me tremendous peace of mind. Her caregivers, [Name Removed], are truly wonderful. They treat her with such patience, compassion, and respect, and it is clear they genuinely care about her well-being. My mom is 94 years old, and it means the world to know she is in such good hands. Thank you to [Name Removed], and the entire Avalon team for all you do every day.

Wonderful Care of my Mother

My mother has been in Avalon for 2 1/2 years. She has been provided with amazing care. Her care givers provide healthy, home cooked meals and see to her personal needs in a clean and loving environment. It has been the perfect place for my mother at this stage of her life.

Extremely caring staff

My husband has been at Avalon House on Oakview Drive since [date removed]. The staff is very caring and attentive to my husband, and always welcoming when my daughter and I visit. I can tell that the staff cares about him, and that my husband is happy there. He has a bright, sunny room that looks out onto the front yard. When the weather is nice the staff will bring him out for walk around the neighbor and when we visit him on a warm day the staff is always willing to bring him outside we can sit together on the porch for our visit.

Couldn’t have found a better place for our mom

My mom is 91 with dementia and with anxiety. She came to Avalon house about a year ago. The Avalon staff are wonderful! They take very good care of our mom. Even her anxiety seems to have decreased here. The professionalism in the level of care that she receives is outstanding.

Peace of mind for my sister

My sister's cognitive decline over the past two years has been a heartbreak and a challenge. It was a big job for my wife and me to help her relocate to Northern Virginia, and, while the original home we found suited my sister at the time, her worsening condition meant looking for a new place that could provide a more comprehensive level of care. Thank goodness Avalon House was recommended to us! The Avalon manager we met exuded both warmth and competence, and the caregivers at Oakview Drive reinforced that impression even more strongly. The facility itself is immaculate, in a lovely, leafy setting. But the real standout is the people. Turnover can be high in the assisted living sector, where the demand for personnel is constant and high. Most of the staff at Avalon have been with them for years, and to my wife and me, this testifies to an ethos that treats both residents and caregivers with respect and dignity. We unhesitatingly recommend Avalon House.

Review for Avalon

The staff at Avalon house on 1503 Oakview Drive are wonderful. The staff are very sweet and do a great job in taking care of my mom. They are very kind and patient with her. They always make sure she is clean, fed,, and happy. They also are excellent at letting her children know when she needs something (e.g., diapers, shampoo, etc. One thing I noticed in Avalon house is that it does not smell bad (unlike other nursing homes that we visited). Also, they keep my mom very clean. For me that is very important, and for me that is a sign of a staff that cares for the patients at Avalon. The staff are great! We could not have asked for better care for my mom. We are very appreciative of everything they do for my mom.

Homelike care for dementia patients

Avalon 2 provides top-notch care for a small number of memory care residents in a really beautiful residential neighborhood (greenery visible from every window). The staff is caring and friendly and there's not a lot of turnover, which is especially important in caring for those with dementia. My sister-in-law clearly feels very comfortable with the two attentive, cheerful staff members who provide for her daily care and medication needs. For residents who don't travel easily, it helps that Avalon 2 works with an excellent caring nurse practitioner who makes regular house calls, and also works with the best hospice services provider in northern Virginia. It's hard to believe the care of this quality is available in Mclean for a reasonable price.

Avalon 2 Runs a very efficient home.

We reside at Avalon 2 We love the home it is a much better fit than the other assisted living facility. We like the smaller residential feel for our father and he seems to thrive in a home environment has more one on one assistance. Currently eating three meals a day now and receiving great meals. The care takers are great cooks always smells delicious . They are good atletting us know what we need to provide the best experience for our father .

New home on Oakview Drive

Avalon House on Oakview Drive is the second Avalon House where a loved one has lived. The home is bright and airy and always looks attractive and well-maintained; the staff is responsive to our requests and very professional. My wife always looks well cared for. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood. After an outing, my wife smiles at the caregivers upon her return and happily reenters the home. We are thankful for having found Avalon House on Oakview Drive.

Caring and attentive staffRo

My dad has been living at Avalon House on Oakview Drive since June 2022. The staff is very caring and very attentive to his needs, making sure he is always comfortable, wearing clean clothes and is bathed daily. The staff is always very welcoming when my mom and I visit. When my dad needs more supplies, they let me know ahead of time so I don't have to make special trip to drop off items. When the weather is nice, they take my dad out for walks or sit with him and the residents on the front porch. I know that my dad is well taken care of and happy.

A great home for mom.

Mom has been living at Avalon house for a year now. She couldn't keep living alone in her apartment. My family and I visited some of the larger senior care complexes but were concerned that it felt less personalized. We felt that an environment that felt more like a home with a larger staff to resident ratio would be best. Avalon met our expectations. We appreciate the staff at the home, especially [name removed] and [name removed], and [name removed] at the office. They are all very responsive. [name removed] and [name removed] really work as a team, cooperating with each other, quickly addressing resident needs. They are kind, patient, have a good sense of humor, and always greet people with a smile. [name removed] has always responded quickly with paperwork requests, questions, and concerns.

My overall experience was about a two. The cleanliness it was very clean I'd give that probably a four or five. The friendliness the administrative staff is very friendly I would give them a five. The nursing Care staff I would give about a two. For the meals probably at 3:00 my dad mostly didn't want to eat their cooking. There were absolutely no activities whatsoever so that would be a zero. The value for the money for me was not good at all I would give it like maybe a two

We can't say enough good things about the staff at this community, they are exceptional!

This community is excellent, however they do not provide to many activities. They do bring in live entertainment in about once a month. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff really stood out to us in the beginning. Our main point of contact at this community makes a lot of traditional Jamaican food which the residents really seem to love. Our loved one has a nice size room, and they were very accommodating to us because we did not have any furniture to bring and they provided everything for us. The residents went into lockdown before everyone else did, and the staff has done an amazing job with keeping everyone say, no one has been ill. We are not allowed window visits. the only downfall about this community is they provide care to all type of patients, and some of those patients may act out more that make the other residents feel uncomfortable.
