We chose this community because out of the ones that we looked into for my friend, this one was the best. The room sizes are good and spacious. I have eaten here and the food is very good, they have a lot of variety. I would recommend Elan Buena Vista to a friend or family member.

Excellent facility. Wonderful staff. Amazing experience. My step father moved in within 2 weeks and has received top care ever since! We are so lucky to have found such an amazing place. Thank you "Aplaceformom" for helping us locate this facility.

Encore at Avalon Park in Orlando, FL

Living in Puerto Rico, it was important to me and my siblings to find a place that would provide the best care for my mother. Having her live at Encore has provided me with peace of mind while living overseas that mom is well-taken care.
