Avita Newburyport is a very special place. We have had clients move from their homes into Avita Newburyport and they absolutely thrive. The atmosphere and the staff are outstanding and they truly want what is best for their residents. Highly recommend calling Allison if you are looking for dementia care for a loved one.

Due to my work I am able to visit residents at Avita multiple times a week for the past 5 years. I have always been extremely impressed by the level of care and compassion every member of the team at Avita shows their residents, visitors, and each other.

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!

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.

My mom is a resident here and it is a wonderful place for her to live. She is always content when I visit as she is well cared for, respected, and loved. I am at peace when I am not with her knowing she is safe in every way. Shout out to Mary and Paige and all the nurses who treat my mom with such dignity! Also, to Susan who is amazing at facilitating the activities with the residents! Avita is a gem and we feel very blessed to be part of this community.

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!

My family's experience with Avita of Newburyport was truly excellent. The entire staff was attentive, caring, and kind. Beyond our expectations. Mom was noticeably comfortable and sociable upon her arrival. Hers was an end-of-life stay, and I was both impressed and comforted to know how she was treated and cared for. I enjoyed my visits there, including during the activities that were lively and it was fun to see how much the residents engaged with the staff leading the groups. unreserved recommendation.

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.

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.

This is the worst time of your life. You need a soft place to land and Avita is that place. All the "staff", that quickly become family, are so compassionate, patient, and loving.

I am a therapist who visits many different facilities as part of my occupation. In my experience, Avita of Newburyport is exceptional in a multitude of ways. The clinical staff is knowledgeable and professional and kind as is the staff that cares for residents directly. The facility is very clean, well lit, and friendly. The activities staff are exceptional as well. When I visit the facility, the residents seem happy and upbeat. In short If I were in the position where I needed a place for my mother or father who needed support to live, I would choose avita every time.

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.

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!

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.
