The Avant in Palo Alto provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who need medical oversight can receive oxygen management, support for special diets, and monitoring for diabetics on oral medication. The community also admits adults under 60 and can accommodate individuals with mild dementia conditions.

A licensed nurse is on-site 24 hours a day, and all employees undergo background checks. Staff remain awake overnight, answer in-room pull-cord alerts, and respond to personal emergency response systems. On-site podiatry is available. Residents may receive some physical help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while eating assistance is offered as standby supervision. Transfer support covers walkers, wheelchairs, supervision, and one-person lifts. An activity director coordinates daily programs.

Apartment options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, although not every unit offers every feature. The campus is wheelchair accessible throughout.

Dining operates on an order-as-requested system with snacks always available. The kitchen can modify meals for medical or personal dietary needs. Independent Living residents may elect medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan.

Amenities include resident parking, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, high-speed internet access, and communal gardens. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the property is near public transit. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
