    I want to tell anyone that might have a loved one contemplating Avoca Speciality Care how impressed I have been with the care of my family member. Avoca Speciality Care is very clean and neat. All the staff have been nothing but kind and caring, and I mean exceptionally! They have worked with me too, as I have travel this road to LTC for a family member. The meals are very nutritious and tasty, and they cater to a variety of dietary needs. Activities are numerous and they help my loved one so he can interact with others and feel included. My family member may not be the closest to me in distance but it is worth the drive to see him so well cared for.

    A few weeks ago, I surprised my mother with an early Christmas visit at Avoca Specialty Care. I cannot begin to describe what I experienced in this very special place. The care that my mother is receiving there is beyond anything I could have imagined. My following words not only reflect my mother's care, but the care of the other residents, from my observations. My mother was smiling, clean, well fed (with AMAZING food), medications given personally, wounds and health issues taken care of daily, exercise, faith needs met, and most importantly..........given constant respect and kind words by ALL the staff. Continual conversations and socialization are a daily routine there for all the residents. Every one of them is special to each member of the staff and this is apparent in the atmosphere of the whole facility. Avoca Specialty Care is truly a blessing. Thank you to all of you!
