smooth transition
My mother has been a resident for nearly two months. She has thoroughly enjoyed the social activities offered there and seems to feel at home. She is always well groomed, has a friendly rapport with the staff and raves about the cleanliness. When I go to visit, I am always warmly welcomed and all my questions and concerns have been addressed promptly. When I have been there at a mealtime, the food appears fresh, appealing and in quantities that are not overwhelming to her.

Nice facility, but memory care only. May need a facility with assisted living as well.

We love AVITA
I can't say enough good things about Avita of Needham. My mother moved there when they opened 2 years ago with our fingers crossed. It was brand new and no reputation however they have lived up to everything they promised and then some. Wonderful caring staff, management accountable and available and Mom has been treated like a queen. the building is beautiful but more importantly, they truly understand dementia and how to help peole live their best life. Unfortunately, her disease has progressed yet they still treat her with incredible respect and compassion. I highly recommend Avita to anyone who has a family member struggling with memory loss.

Nice place but not the right fit for my father-in-law
My father-in-law was in there for two weeks are we are moving him out. Everyone's situation is different and he just wasn't right for Avita. It's a beautiful facility but we put him in memory care and he didn't have enough dementia. He was too aware. It's really a nice place for the right people. My father-in-law needed a few nursing things like bloodpressure monitoring and they couldn't do that.
It is very clean and friendly. They just weren't used to dealing with someone who was more with it. I would recommend it to people with parents with dementia.
I feel the aids could be trained better, but that's for the whole industry, not just Avita. I think they should put more thought to training the aids to be more present and care a little more.

Thank you for your review, Kim. We're sorry your father-in-law wasn't a good fit for us. However, Avita has many sister communities in the area that offer assisted living, and if you'd like more information please contact Mary Jane McGill.
