Overall a Very Nice Community!

Staff is warm, very helpful, and competent. The activities are wonderful. My father has come into his own there. He is encouraged to participate and feel a part of the community. The facilities are amazing. The food is delicious and there are a wide variety of options. He has been very happy there. We all work well together in the best interest of my dad. We wish we had gotten him there sooner!

Sauce for the gander is not necessarily sauce for the goose

I came here because my husband wanted to get rid of his household chores. I think he would rate this place as a 5+. I want to be back at my house. The people and activities are great here. The only thing that I would wish for is more activities on the weekend

Overall satisfied

We are liking the Staff and the Facility for Memory care at Avery heights( Burnham home), is bright and clean. They try not to call unless absolutely necessary, but at times we have felt out of the loop on communication. My brother was sick in January and went to the hospital with a uti ,and there wasn't the best communication with the whole ordeal, which included him going to the skilled nursing area for a short stint. The staff is genuinely caring and the Head of Burnham ( [name removed])is wonderful. I know there are activities, but I'm not always sure exactly what they are. However, I know the staff is eager to include all the residents . I believe my brother is happy there. I wish it wasn't so expensive, however! It was one of the more expensive places we considered. We are overall, satisfied, presently

Would highly recommend

All are at least a 4.5. Some may not be quite a 5 because the facility is getting old and they are trying to keep everything up. This is a great place to live. The staff goes above and beyond and the food is excellent. Folks are invited to serve on committees to help improve facilities, food and administration.

Very Lucky

We are very lucky to have found a place that works well for our father. The staff is fantastic and helpful. Our father appears to be well taken care of. He has a lot of activities available to him and he loves the food.

Avery Heights

The staff are all very friendly. The facility is large in size and they offer multiples different levels of care, which is why we chose Avery Heights over others. I would recommend this facility to others looking.

Our Experience

My mom is a resident at Avery Heights and the experience has been great. Mom says most of the food is very good. They were giving her two big meals a day. At our family meeting we asked if she could have a sandwich for dinner and that has worked better for her, along with some fruits. There are many activities to participate in, but my mom doesn't participate unless she goes to mass. I visit her nearly everyday and I know that she is being cared for.

I have been a resident since [date removed] and am very pleased with the Avery community - especially the staff! I have received immediate response to any of my questions and a very professional attitude permeates this beautiful campus. I would recommend Avery Heights to all caring families.

A wonderful home for us!

My husband has moderate Alzheimer's disease. 2 plus years ago it became apparent that we needed to move from our home. We found a lovely cottage on the grounds of Avery Heights. There is a memory care section so when he needs it, we are already here!

All residents are encouraged to participate in as many of the daily activities as they wish. Friends can join existing programs or even start new ones, if there is an interest. Common areas such as, theater, game room, or the library are great places to meet friends and have fun.

A Special Place

After very trying times, for everyone these past several years, we feel it is long overdue that we express our heartfelt gratitude for the excellent acre and attention our parents have received at Avery Heights. It didn't take them long to feel right at home. The staff is very special. They are always compassioante, respectful, and treat our parents with love and affection.

Our parents moved here a few years ago. The staff is incredibly supportive and helpful. Activities are plentiful and entertaining. We could not be happier for our folks. They loved it from the moment they moved here and my " bonus," dad continues to utilize many resources here.

Avery Heights

Avery Heights is a terrific place. My mom has been a resident for 3.5 years. The staff is outstanding and the sevice has been exceptional. Each person living here is treated with respect and attention is carefully given on an individual basis. As a physician, I have spent many hours in retirement homes, as well as nursing homes and it doesn't get any better than Avery Heights.
