Brightview Avondell

I visited this facility

Brightview Avondell is a little different from other senior places. I'm getting the impression that they are basically just month-to-month rental living areas, and depending on how bad a person gets, you might not be able to stay there forever. They have assisted living and memory care across the highway in the same area, and that's more nursing home-style, whereas Brightview Avondell is more independent resort-style. They have pools, game rooms, three dining rooms, happy hours, and all kinds of activitie…

I chose Brightview Avondell because it's the only one in Hartford County that has an independent living facility. There's an indoor pool, a gym, and physical therapy onsite. There's assisted living if you need it. All your meals are provided. The only thing out-of-pocket that you have is your telephone. The staff I met there were very informative and easy to work with. I tried the food, and it was excellent.

I toured Brightview Avondell and I really considered moving to this facility. The atmosphere of the place was very cheery and friendly. The facility seemed clean. My tour guide was very friendly and did very good. They also have a pool, which would have been nice. But I wanted a place that would handle my medications because I take so many, including refills, etc. Independent does not offer that type of help. The activities seemed good, also.

The most impressive part of Avondell is the staff. From Karen and Donna, to Greg and Brenda, to the desk staff, each person is concerned with the health and happiness of every resident. Patience and humor are part of all interactions. Family members are embraced to become part of the community, to eat meals and visit. The high quality and variety of the food is amazing: my mother is literally eating in an excellent restaurant every night. The facility is bright, clean and well cared for. Fresh and beautiful describ…

We did a tour of Brightview Avondell. They're just too expensive. We can't afford $12,000 a month. It's a beautiful place, I love it, it's very nice. We met with a nice lady. It's a beautiful place inside and out, everything you want is in there, hair salon, saltwater pool, and restaurants. We saw the unit, it's independent care. It would be $93,900 a year. I have no negativity about it other than the price. The people in there, they're eighties and nineties; there's a few se…

I went and toured Brightview Avondell. I visited the independent living. They showed us the difference between independent and assisted living. What I like best about this community is that all the amenities were great. I also like the location. The people were very friendly. There was a lot of positives. The staff were very enlightened, and they told us a lot of things that we needed to really know that we forgot to ask. I visited all the therapy areas and the creative places like painting and sewing things like t…
