Finding her keys (or phone) in the refrigerator, leaving the stove on, metal things in the microwave, along with most of her short term memory missing, I spent so much time worrying about her safety, and second guessing my own sanity. Thank God I have a friend who encouraged me to start looking for memory care. After visiting several facilities, I found my way to Avita. Here, memory care is their specialty, and now nearly three months later, my wonderful wife has fully adjusted and is enjoying her new friends, and I know she’s safe and very well cared for. Thanks to the wonderful, cooperative and caring staff, as well as the bi-monthly support group, I have finally accepted that I made the right decision to move her to Avita. My anxiety and sleeplessness is put to rest. Thank you Avita for providing the solution to my struggle.

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 CNAs, 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 CNAs 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.

I have been a mobile x-ray tech for 8+ years and i would just like to say out of all the facilities I visit on a daily basis Avita Newburyport is one of the best! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Mary and Eileen at the front desk always greet me with a smile and make my visits easy and smooth helping me to check in and locate residents. The help and friendly demeanor doesn't stop at the front door. There are countless friendly/happy CNA's willing to show me to the resident's rooms and this goes a long way in my field! The staff's happiness and willingness to help speaks volumes about the work environment and over all morale in the neighborhoods. It is refreshing to see! I have never had a bad experience here and if god forbid my parent had to go into a home they would be first on my list! Kudos Avita Newburyport for the dedication to your residents and visitors!

I have been extremely pleased with Avita since the day I walked in with my sister trying to find a new memory care facility for both by parents who have dementia. The ENTIRE staff, from top to bottom are so capable, nice, helpful, informative and fantastic!! The communication has been top notch. It is really nice to call with a question or concern and have it answered immediately. As for the facility, it is beautiful and nicely maintained. The programs for the residents they have all day are really great as well. Both my parents engage and are interactive. The staff wants to make sure the residents are engaged and participating. You can definitely tell all the residents are cared for really well and the people working at Avita love being there. I would highly recommend Avita!!!

My father was a resident at Avita of Newburyport and was cared for in the most compassionate and professional fashion by the outstanding team of this wonderful facility. Taking the decision to place your loved one in memory care is one of the most difficult choices a family can make. For families considering a home for your loved one's who are struggling with dementia, Avita of Newburyport is the best choice you can make. The entire compound is modern, clean and beautiful. The staff are all highly skilled, kind and caring to the residents. In house care is excellent and the staff have programming and field trips to keep the residents busy. While all types of dementia are extremely challenging for everyone involved, Avita of Newburyport is a reliable and safe haven for those who require full time care.

Moving loved ones to an assisted living facility was a very hard decision for our family. We are so very thankful that we found Avita. From the day my parents moved in I knew this was a special place. The facility is very well maintained and the staff are fabulous and very loving and compassionate. My mom is always telling me how happy she is there and how everyone is so kind. Kathy, the Activity Director recently went above and beyond in helping me to stay connected with my mom while I was out of state. I’m grateful I can now be a loving daughter rather than a stressed out caregiver. Thank you to all of the Avita staff!

Avita and staff have been a true blessing! My boss from Help in Home, W. Newbury told me he has always heard great things about Avita in Newburyport. Since the beginning of Covid 2020, I left my caretaker job to care for my own Mom w Dementia. Caring for your own family is a much different experience than my clients. As I cared for Mom I was also mourning daily as she slowly slips away forgetting our treasured family times just had or in the past. Her sundowners was scary for all and she was afraid! The slow progression is truly heartbreaking! Such a ruthless disease! After three years I could not manage my own Mom! I do it for a living but experiencing the emotional pain along w giving care just became unbearable. I wasn’t able to care for her or myself nor family. I was afraid to put her in a home/facility. I had not seen one in over seven years that I would feel comfortable with or good enough for Mom! After over five interviews the places I thought were okay cost double of what we are paying now! I took my boss’s referral and from there it was the good Lord taking care of Mom and I! I have not stopped raving about Avita and the lovely staff that makes Avita so very special! They are kind and care! You can tell they love their jobs! They are true professionals for memory loss. I can visit whenever I want but it was time to care for the caretaker. So while I was away, I had absolutely no fear, she was in very good hands! Alison would send us photos of Mom helping others, dancing, eating and laughing. The anguish turned into peace with the help and guidance of Avita! Thank you so very much for picking us up when we we’re down! God bless you all! He has us!

Avita of Newburyport is an absolutely amazing facility. When faced with the heartbreaking realization that my Mom could no longer be cared for at home, we began our search for a suitable memory care unit. We were looking for a facility that would not only provide my Mom a safe place to live, but one that would care for her as we cared for her. My Mom has been a resident at Avita for 2 1/2 years now and we couldn't be happier with our decision. My Mom is treated like a family member by the staff. They laugh with her, dance with her, sing with her, walk with her, hug her, listen to her, hold her hand and console her when she appears anxious or sad. They treat her with respect and dignity. They love and care for her as we love her. They have also been an amazing support for us as well. Every employee I have encountered, whether it be administration, front desk, nurses, CNAs, kitchen staff or maintenance staff have been friendly, caring, loving and welcoming. If you are looking for a clean and cheerful memory care facility that provides exceptional care and looks after your loved one as you do, check out Avita of Newburyport. They are amazing.

Amazing Memory Care Home! We've been delighted with Avita of Newburyport. From the very beginning they have made our mom feel right at home. We had worried about how she would adjust, but the staff is so loving and caring, she's already referring to it as her home. They immediately knew her favorite foods and how to make her smile. 🙂 They've been a life line to me and my husband. Our mom loves the big open spaces, windows, light and especially the court yard with beautiful flowers and an herb garden. The food is delicious and the activities (especially the music and singing) are just right. They even have chair yoga! Thank you Avita! xo Alison

We have been assessing memory care communities for my mother this year on both the east and west coasts. Recently, our mother had an opportunity to spend part of a day at Avita of Newburyport and she has talked about Avita every day since then. She was excited by the activities and thought that the staff were all very nice and the residents were fun and interesting. Perhaps the most telling comment she made after her visit was that she never wants to be a burden on the family and was very happy to know where she was going to go when the time came that we could no longer care for her in the way that she needed. We are grateful for Alison, Matt, and the rest of the Avita team for making our mother’s visit possible and providing her with such a wonderful experience.

After experiencing a nearby assisted living for several weeks, our mother who has memory issues needed more engagement and support, less independence. The staff at Avita is skilled and caring. Mom is engaged all day long in high quality activities and has made friends with other residents and staff. She’s happier than we have seen her in years. We feel relaxed knowing she’s in incredible hands. Our time with her is less caregiving and more quality time. Thank you, Avita!

My mother was in need of a facility that understands dementia. Luckily for our family, Avita of Newburyport opened just in time! The care and love she received cannot be matched. She went from living alone and depressed because she realized something was going wrong with her mind, to being stimulated the entire day which turned her around into a thriving, happy woman again. She looked forward to the daily activities, having her meals in the four star restaurant with her new friends, and greeting every newcomer or those who visited with a smile and rave review of her new home! I was concerned the first week she was there about how she would do and visited daily. It didn’t take me long to fall in love with the staff, who in turn fell in love with each resident. In addition, I needed to gain knowledge about dementia and be able to accept the road my mother was traveling. Each and every staff member guided me down that path and I will forever be grateful for their guidance. It is not an easy journey but with the support groups they ran and special speakers they had, I was able to come terms with the disease and learn how to best help my mom down the path. My mom passed away 3 years ago. I tell everyone with a loved one who has dementia, if at all possible, don’t hesitate to have them move to Avita of Newburyport. My husband and I still say to this day, we are thankful she got to enjoy the final years of her life at Avita!

Avita is more than a care facility. It is the kind of heart-centered, comprehensive support system that every family caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s needs and deserves. Even before moving my mom to Avita, we received so much support. They met with us many times and compassionately walked us through each aspect of our decision-making process. They never pushed or tried to sell their services. Instead, they patiently provided us with answers to all of our questions and listened empathetically to all of our concerns. We only ever felt genuine kindness and understanding from the staff. We placed my mom at Avita late last year, and we couldn’t be happier. Her transition was beautifully smooth. She is the happiest, healthiest, and most at peace I have seen her in years. She has a couple besties already, loves the activities, and always looks dressed to the nines. The staff is loving and attentive and goes above and beyond what other facilities do. Carrie Hayes is a standout. She clearly cares so deeply and understands the nuances of caring for people with dementia. Matt Carson and Alison Kolozsvary are also angels and were instrumental in supporting us through our decision. It is never an easy decision to place a loved one outside of the home, but Avita has become a home away from home for my mom.

Avita helped shape the final years, months and weeks of our Mom's life and our time with her. We looked at many options when finding a place for our Mom after our Dad died, her best friend and faithful companion. For a few months after his passing she lived with family, all of us pitching in to take care of her. We were happy to do it as she had cared for us our entire lives. What we saw was the limitations it put on her life. She was eager to meet and smile at more faces and participate in activities. It was scary and daunting to put her in anyone elses hands, but over time what we understood was that the training and philosphy of all the Avita employees is to put the engagement of the residents first always. I will never forget saying goodbye to her after one of my early visits, tears in my eyes. The maintenance man was crossing the living room with his yellow cart when he put it aside and sat down at the piano to play her a tune. He knew that in that moment his higher purpose was to bring some relief to both of us. He did too, the smile on her face quickly translated to a smile on mine. These experiences never ended. Our Mom quickly adapted to her new environment and her enjoyment of life returned. The staff asked questions about what brought her joy throughout her independent life and made sure it was easy and available to her. She was putting and painting, drum beating and singing. She attended every concert or field trip. Our Mother always took the time to look nice and loved to dress for the day. A box of costume jewelry was part of her morning routine, the staff would help her shower, get dressed and put on matching earrings just knowing that her day would be better if she felt like herself. It's the little things that add up at Avita. If mom needed a lift, someone was there to make her smile. My biggest fear was that she would ever feel afraid. What I soon realized was that all the things I worried about were the same things Avita worried about, and worked to make sure they were not a part of my Mom's life. I still felt sadness leaving her, but I also felt peace. That was a new emotion for me after many years of navigating this disease with her. I was able to fully be the Mom to my own girls that I wanted to be because I didn't need to worry quite as much about her as before. And when I visited, she and I spent time laughing and I would tell her stories. Some days when I was tired myself I would come when an activity was going on. I found the support and energy was infectious. As our Mom entered the final stages of her life. The Avita staff worked with us and hospice to make it as peaceful a transition as possible. Their tears the day she passed were the result of the connection they had made with our Mom. They loved her and mourned her too. I could call out the names of people that made a difference, but it was all of them. From the Welcome she recieved when we walked through the door, to the aides that checked on her at night. It's been just over a year since my Mom passed and tears quickly come to my eyes as gratitude overwhelms me. I will never be able to express what Avita did for our family. XOXO

Carol, my wife for more than 50 years, has had her memory deteriorate so severely that we were no longer able to live together in our home. We wed 12 weeks after we met and she is now at Avita and this is the first time that we have ever been separated. I can't tell you how relieved I am that she is living with folks who are not only skilled but genuinely compassionate about what they do.

My husband has lived at Avita of Newburyport for the past three years. His care has been exemplary, the food is delicious and the activities varied and interesting.. The staff is so caring and the management is the best of the best. The director truly cares about the residents for which I am so grateful. I have, and will continue to recommend Avita to anyone looking for a safe, caring home for a loved one.

My sister was a resident at Avita in Newburyport for over a year until Dementia finally took her. The staff was always kind and compassionate and she had the best experience possible. The activities provided for the patients were varied and appropriate. The staff built a community allowing the residents to interact. There were trips out to restaurants and museums which she enjoyed as long as she was able to.. Family was always welcome. When ever we visited we were welcomed and invited to engage it whatever was happening. We were able to have meals with her. I always felt that the residents were treated as individuals by healthcare professionals who truly cared.

Amazing, compassionate community for those suffering from memory impairment. I am blessed to have 2 views of this magnificent community. My Mother was a resident for the final 2 years of her life. I had never seen her so engaged and happy. The nursing care she received was ABSOLUTELY the Best with any issue that arose. The Social Programming Department got her out and about to in-house concerts, exercise programs, arts and crafts and trips out to area restaurants and scenic rides. Her life was surrounded by caring people, who put her needs at the forefront of their day. I am truly thankful to Northbridge Companies for setting such a High standard of care and the extensive training programs each staff member. Everyone is accountable for caring for our residents. YES, I said OUR Residents - Because not only did my Mother live there, but I am a Proud Team Member as well!! Sooo blessed all around. Avita of Newburyport is an AMAZING GIFT to so many. Please come by and see us, your loved ones are worth it!! Roberta
