Overall Review of Avalon Assisted Living

EMDR therapy is repeatedly cited
Residents frequently mention EMDR sessions as a turning point in their recovery.
Multiple residents describe EMDR as life-changing, saying it helped them work through trauma and shift how they think or feel. Several reviews specifically credit a therapist named JoJo for guiding sessions and producing a noticeable emotional release. Reviews also connect therapy (including groups and one-on-one work) with feeling more equipped for ongoing sobriety after discharge. While experiences are not universally positive, EMDR shows up often among the standout moments people mention.

Staff care shows up often
Across reviews, residents commonly describe staff as compassionate and responsive.
A large share of reviews praise staff for being caring, supportive, and professional, with residents thanking specific team members for helping them feel understood. Some reviews describe staff going above and beyond with practical support, guidance, and communication when residents needed help. A smaller set of reviews push back on this, including complaints about rudeness, neglect, or staff not following through. Even with those negatives, residents most often bring up people and bedside manner when explaining what helped.

Dining quality is mixed
Residents report both strong food satisfaction and recurring food disappointments.
Some residents say meals were very good or even fresh and well-prepared, including praise for a chef and for accommodating special diets. Others describe food as disappointing, limited, or poorly handled, mentioning issues like snack availability, breakfast timing, and not enough options. A few reviews also call out specific restrictions such as limited coffee access. Taken together, dining is an area where experiences vary, even when other parts of the stay felt supportive.

Communication and billing complaints repeat
Several residents report problems with communication, phone access, and billing.
Some reviews say it was difficult to reach someone about a loved one or a resident’s situation, describing rude interactions or a lack of answers. Others mention restrictions around phone access unless a therapist gives permission, which impacted their ability to stay in touch. There are also multiple complaints about being billed after paying copays or about billing insurance for care that residents felt they did not receive. A few reviews add concerns about repeated calls or difficulty getting removed from calling lists. Overall, communication and financial follow-through are recurring weak spots in the feedback.

Safety and management concerns appear
A number of reviews raise serious safety and management concerns.
Several residents describe unsafe conditions or serious breakdowns in oversight, including reports of injuries tied to unaddressed hazards and concerns about how vulnerable residents were placed or protected. Other negative reviews echo problems with neglect, delayed responses, and poor handling of incidents. A few reviews also criticize how the facility is run, describing it as chaotic or disorganized. While there are also positive accounts of cleanliness and a well-run stay, the safety-and-management criticisms are strong enough to stand out.
