Avendelle at Garner operates as both an assisted-living residence and a residential care home, giving families flexibility when choosing the appropriate level of daily support. Medical oversight centers on diabetes management, routine physician visits, and speech therapy, with care plans adjusted as resident needs change. Residents who require more complex attention benefit from on-site high-acuity care and 24-hour medication management that is coordinated by licensed nurses, occupational and physical therapists, and a podiatrist.
The community also provides specialized programs for memory care, including environments designed specifically to accommodate memory loss and a memory-care-only option for those who need it. Non-ambulatory and ambulatory care are available, as well as incontinence support, hospice coordination, and ancillary staffing services, ensuring that residents can remain in place as their conditions progress.
Private and semi-private accommodations are available, some offering Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, full kitchens, and wheelchair-accessible showers, while others feature outdoor patios, indoor common areas with central fireplaces, meeting rooms, or dedicated parking. Because room layouts vary, not all accommodations include every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour.
Meals are prepared and served on site with options that accommodate vegetarian preferences, low or no sodium diets, and no-added-sugar menus. Three daily meals and snacks are provided, and staff are trained to support diabetic residents by monitoring carbohydrate intake and coordinating meals with medication schedules.
Residents can stay active through an on-site activity center, arts and crafts sessions, trivia games, yoga or chair yoga classes, and regular birthday or holiday parties. Outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and gardening clubs encourage time outside, while day trips, social outings, and off-site devotional activities add variety. The community schedules BBQs, picnics, and swimming outings in warmer months, and maintains clubs that meet in the library and computer lounge for residents interested in reading or online activities.
