Review

Avendelle Maynard, with its picturesque appearance, may seem like the ideal senior living facility, but according to one reviewer's experience from 2018 to 2019, it fails to provide a caring and dignified environment. Despite costing over 8K a month, the quality of food, staff, and activities provided do not match up to the high price tag.

One of the major issues highlighted is the poor food service at Avendelle. Rather than having professional chefs or dedicated kitchen staff, the low-paid employees are expected to cook in addition to their other duties. Unsurprisingly, this results in overcooked, unidentifiable dishes that lack variety. Sandwiches are served with only one slice of "luncheon meat," and portion sizes are restricted even when chips are included as part of the meal. A particularly concerning incident was when the facility ran out of milk before the end of the month and failed to provide more until new groceries arrived.

Another significant problem raised by reviewers is the constant turnover of staff. It appears that Avendelle pays less than other senior living providers, which has led to a revolving door of employees. Managers have had to take on multiple shifts due to staff absences or mid-shift resignations. The arrival of a new director was hoped to address these issues four months prior to one reviewer's mother moving in; however, no improvements were observed, and concerns continued to escalate.

A lack of engaging activities further contributes to an unfavorable atmosphere for residents at Avendelle Maynard. Reviewers note that despite having an activity calendar in place, it is rarely followed. This leaves residents spending most of their days sitting in front of a television screen without much mental stimulation or social interaction. Furthermore, dinner ends early at 5:30 PM, leading residents to be sent off to bed soon after without any meaningful engagement.

In summary, while Avendelle Maynard may initially impress with its home-like ambiance and tasteful décor, it appears that these superficial qualities overshadow the underlying issues within the facility. From poor food quality and small portions to constant staff turnover and a lack of engaging activities, the care provided does not align with the high cost charged for residents' accommodations. It is imperative for potential residents and their families to look beyond surface-level appearances when considering senior living options and prioritize finding a facility that truly values and provides compassionate care.
