Avery Garden Assisted Living

Avery Gardens should have a Welcome Sign on the front door that says, “Home Sweet Home.” Since my brother, Mike, entered this lovely home, he was greeted with kindness, love and understanding. Linda Thomas has created a peaceful, caring and loving home for all of her patients. When Mike celebrated his 90th Birthday, Linda had a special Pizza Party and yummy cake for him as his friends sang the joyful song. Every month, Linda plans a special event for all to share. In May, they celebrated Cinco de Mayo—everyone wore a colorful sombrero and enjoyed her delicious tacos. Linda and her Staff are very professional and each patient has excellent care in a safe, clean and comfortable environment. I look forward to having a Face Time call with my brother each week—he always greets me with BIG SMILE and says, “I like my new home.” My family and I are truly thankful and grateful for my brother’s guardian angel, Linda Thomas and for his safe, new home at Avery Gardens.

Placed Mom in Avery earlier this year just before lock down due to the pandemic. The facility itself is perfect for her comfort: single-story, with plenty of interior space and a reasonable-sized backyard (with awnings and fans to keep away the summer sun and heat). Interior is bright and airy, with temperature always comfortable. And the entire place is very clean: I've seen model homes more littered than Avery. Staff is attentive and easy to chat with. They make great meals for the residents, including a willingness to adapt to our mom's cultural differences (e.g., more rice and bananas, for example). Works really hard with us to keep in touch with her. This was especially true during the numerous lock downs. Example: putting her on speakerphone when we weren't allowed to visit. (She can't hold even a smartphone). Avery manager Linda is very responsive to our calls/text. The cul-de-sac where Avery is located is very quiet. There seem to be a lot of cars parked in the area, which makes it hard to park directly in front of the facility. However, space can be found usually no more than a handful of houses away. We actually have family within walking distance, which further makes Avery ideal for needs in staying in touch with mom. Avery has been a god-send to us especially during this difficult year.

My husband and I had been looking for a place for my mother-in-law for almost 8 months after my father-in-law passed. We looked at numerous places in Corona, Anaheim, Temecula and Anaheim Hills. In the beginning my mother-in-law wasn’t fully onboard with moving but after having some health issues it was clear she needed to be in a caring environment where she could get the help she deserved. Last September we received a recommendation from a placement agency. Avery Gardens Assisted Living. I had a tour with Linda and was very impressed. Located in a new housing area, the house is spacious, wonderfully decorated and well taken care of inside and out. My husband also went and toured and felt very comfortable with Linda, and the staff. My mother-in-law moved in mid October and it has been absolutely wonderful. We love to visit her, Linda and her staff are very welcoming and keep everything neat as a pin. She constantly thanks us for finding her such a wonderful place. She is very happy. Raves about the great meals and the care she is getting. It’s her home now. I just can’t say enough about how wonderful it is knowing my mother-in-law is happy and well taken care of.
