Avita of Newburyport

Avita of Newburyport cared for my aunt for the last almost 6 months of her life treating her as part of their family. Everyone from the CNA‘s, nursing, maintenance reception and more made it so my family and I could sleep at night, knowing she was being well taken care of. We were greeted cheerfully and personally by Mary, Eileen and the rest of the reception staff. Marie and her team helped with all aspects of maintenance and room needs. Courtney and her nursing team were great going above and beyond like when Tammy FaceTimed one night when she was on call to convince my aunt to get into bed so that she’d have a restful night sleep. And, last but absolutely not least, Sandy and the team of CNA‘s in the autumn community who loved and cared for her with their own personal touches especially at end of life when they would stop in just to give her a hug or check on her and tell her that she was loved. A special thank you to Alison for all her patience through the process of finding her a space and of course Priscilla her resident angel.

I was the caregiver/health care proxy for many many years to a memory-impaired Beautiful aunt who was like mother to me. Reluctantly I finally decided she needed placement. Yet once at Avita I could not have been more impressed and reassured with the attentive Tender Loving Care that was provided by ALL members of the staff from the Medical Assistants who saw to her minute by minute needs, Nursing, Administration, Activity Directors etc, etc., etc. It is a beautiful, very spacious facility fastidiously maintained which provides home made meals, snacks and beverages 24/7 to residents, hourly activities, lovely outdoor spaces as well as three season porches. Every option available from medication maintenance/administration, Medical and Dental Care, hairdressing, et. al. Towards the end of her life she became enrolled in Hospice who in coordination with Avita staff allowed her to pass peacefully in loving and caring "home."I cannot speak highly enough! Love you Aunty!

My dear cousin Betty has been at Avita for a little over four months. My husband and I were concerned about making the best choice for her as we had seen several facilities during our search for memory care and had been extremely disappointed by what we found. From our first meeting with Alison, we were surprisingly pleased by what we experienced. The friendliness, kindness and compassion that we felt from all of the staff members as well as the facility's attractive, open and comfortable community spaces gave us the encouragement that we needed. Despite her struggles with the dementia, Betty has loved being at Avita. She loves the socialization which she had missed both at home in the previous four years since losing her license as well as at a previous facility which didn't provide adequate support for her. She feels at home at Avita and loves the staff as well as the other residents. With her care designed to meet her individual needs, she has gained the confidence that she can be herself here. She loves the ongoing activities including the live music that brings her joy and strengthens the already strong sense of community here at Avita. We couldn't be more relieved and thankful to have Betty being cared for in such a genuinely loving and professional environment!

My dog and I have been visiting residents regularly for the past two years and feel welcomed by everyone, staff and reception. Residents are engaged, love giving dog treats and are very comfortable. Ir’s like a friends and family event. We visit in the late afternoon after everyone has had a full day of activities; local field trips, musical guests, games, baking and crafts. Plus manicure visits! The common spaces are lovely and consistently decorated for the season/holiday. And the staff is aware, extremely caring and nurture each resident. I would be very comfortable having a friend or relative move to Avita.

My mother has been at Avita Newburyport for about 5 months. I have found everyone there to be professional, attentive and caring. Our experience has been exactly as they described in the tour. Everyone is friendly, helpful and joyful everyday.
