When my mom’s dementia and Alzheimer’s worsened after her gallbladder surgery, I
could no longer provide the care she needed at home. Living in the country made it
difficult to get help in emergencies, so I knew I had to find a place where she would be
safe and well cared for. I chose Avantara Saint Cloud because I’ve known Alison
(Director of Nursing) for years and had heard such good things about the facility. I’m
so glad I did.
Rosalie’s time at Avantara has been nothing short of incredible. When she first
arrived, she was sad, but that quickly changed. She’s now engaged in activities with
people her age, participates in group events, and loves the music programs. I’ve
never seen her so happy. Her siblings have noticed the change, too, and say it’s the
best they’ve seen her in years.
The staff at Avantara has been amazing. Everyone, from Jennifer to Nettie to Allison,
truly cares about my mom. They’ve gone above and beyond to make sure she’s
comfortable and happy. I especially appreciate how they took the time to find her the
perfect roommate—someone she gets along with really well.
One of Rosalie’s favorite parts of Avantara is the beautiful garden. We even donated
plants to help brighten the space, and the residents just love spending time out there.
The staff is great about keeping me informed, and every call starts with reassurance
that Rosalie is okay.
I couldn’t ask for a better place for my mom. Avantara Saint Cloud has exceeded
every expectation, and I’ve recommended it to so many people. It’s comforting to
know that Rosalie is in good hands, surrounded by people who care for her like family.
