You know when you first encounter a new situation and you can tell pretty quickly it's the right one? Thats how I reacted to Avita beginning with initial contact experience all the way through placing my mom. This is a place designed for the resident experiencing dementia and similar challenges. There are plentiful engaging activities, a small resident population in each wing makes it a much more personable feeling. The staff I met are friendly, know their job, and made me feel that mom has landed where she needs to be. A great easy to access location in Southern Maine.

My father came to Avita as an emergency placement and we could not be happier with the care he is receiving. From the minute you come through the front door the staff is there to help and guide you. The caretakers have been so kind, caring, positive and supportive. Avita is a very nice facility and the patients are treated with respect and are well cared for. I highly recommend Avita of Wells.

My mom is, quite frankly, the best human being on the planet. Memory loss can make it challenging for new people to see how special she is. The staff at Avita of Wells have chosen, at every step, to get to know her, to support her as a person first, and to treat her with the kindness and respect she has shown others all of her life. The incredibly difficult decision to seek additional, specialized care and the transition to Avita has been made easier with each interaction. Thank you all. We are deeply grateful for your clear dedication to humanizing the challenges of this diagnosis.

After touring other memory care facilities, Avita by far is the best memory care facility my father could have asked for! During his stay the staff treated him with the upmost respect and loving care that was so genuine and compassionate. From the moment we walked in the door we knew this was the place for him. The facility is amazingly clean and well kept. Your greeted by happy staff members at every turn, from the front desk, to the activity room, to the kitchen crew, to the nurses station, and ALL the different level of care givers, they all are happy to be working there and it shows! Each resident is treated with so much kindness and attention, and after spending so much time there visiting my dad and witnessing it firsthand, this level of employee enthusiasm never wavered. A huge thank you goes out to the entire Summer Wing staff, to Lisa, Nicole, Amy, Elizabeth, Melissa, Susan, and rest of the Avita team, we are forever grateful for all you did.

My husband has been going to Avita for a few months now. I have been very impressed with the loving care that is given to him by ALL the staff, especially, Meg Jones, who is in charge of the day program. From the start, she went out of her way to find out Dave's interests so that she could provide him with the best experience possible. It is very comforting to me to know that he is in the best hands. I, in turn, get a break from my caregiving responsibilities so that I am better able to enjoy the precious times I do have with him when he is not there.

I am so impressed with Avita of Wells. I work at A Place to Start in Kennebunk. Avita gave a presentation to our caregivers to show them what it is like to have dementia, so they can better understand what their loved one is going through. Lisa and Wendy did a wonderful job. Our caregivers learned so much and were so grateful for their time and knowledge. On a personal note, I have a friend who is a resident in the Autumn neighborhood. When I visit, the staff is always cheerful, helpful and kind. They take the time to stop and talk with each resident several times a day. I'm glad my friend is in this top notch facility that truly cares about their resident's well being.

Avita of Wells does a wonderful job of being involved in our community. I am the National Honor Society adviser at Wells High School, and Avita has very kindly donated all their Clynk bottles to us. The proceeds help us to carry out our service projects.

My mother has dementia and moved into Avita a few months ago. Ever since she moved to Avita, she is happier, more engaged with others, and showing improvement in speech and memory. She previously lived in a different memory care place which seemed like a good quality facility, but clearly Avita care is superior.

My mom has been part of the summer neighborhood since the end of dec 2021. It took me 3 yrs to take this step. After 3 months of visiting my mom and all the residents almost daily, I see the dedication and care from each staff member on such a personal level with every single resident. Eyes wide open, alert and attentive to their individual needs and desires constantly. Watching the daily routines and interaction between staff and residents has inspired me to volunteer. My mom is in great hands at Avita of wells and I am very grateful for each and every staff member for their compassion, caring and safely guiding each resident through out each day.

Avita of Wells has been very involved with the community by sponsoring events at the Wells Ogunquit Senior Center. The staff are very attentive and welcoming to our Seniors. Our members get excited by the delicious meals that have been provided by Avita for our Seniors. Wells is very fortunate to have a wonderful facility that concentrates on Alzheimer's disease along with support for family members.

As a outsider professional I had the opportunity to see one on their resident. Being the first time there, I was met with friendly faces and was assisted going through the covid procedure, once that was completed. I was personally escorted to the resident. Once I was with the resident, I was greeted by each staff and assisted with any of the residents needs quickly. This is how it was throughout the whole visit, even when I was leaving This was a nice experience and a welcomed on

Avita of Wells is a great place for a family member or a loved one. The compassion and care they show is above and beyond and if you have ever been in a position to have to place a loved one, there is such a level of comfort to know you are leaving your loved one in their hands. I can't say enough about the staff, the facility and just how wonderfully warm and welcoming they were to my Mother and Father and how we never felt they weren't getting the love and attention we felt they deserved. I honestly can't say enough and highly recommend Avita do Wells

My wife has worked for Avita of Wells since they opened over 5 years ago. She loved her job then and loves it even more today. Her heart, dedication and compassion for her job tells me that Avita is still an amazing company to work for. Longevity speaks volumes in my book. We love hearing the stories about her day and seeing the smile on her face as she speaks. When we bump in to her co-workers or the family members in public, I watch in awe as my wife beams with happiness. She has found her dream job there at Avita

My wife's grandmother has lived at Avita of Wells for about two years. Pre-COVID, we would visit and always be warmly welcomed by the staff and residents. We especially appreciate how hard the staff work to create special events for residents and their families, such as a Polar Express Night, visit from Santa, and Halloween Night. The staff also takes the time to recognize residents individually with their newsletter, social media, and "Member of the Month" event, where staff work with families to create a special slideshow about their loved one and invite family and friends to a small ceremony. Avita of Wells truly works hard to create a sense of community not just for residents but their families.

I truly love Avita and have since I moved my Mom and Dad into the Stroudwater Avita from Stroudwater Lodge. The care and detail to my parents needs were always top notch. My brothers and sisters all became family with their employees and felt cared for as well. I learned so much and wanted to be part of the Northbridge family on a more helpful level and be able to help other families the way my family was helped. I am happy to say that I was able to to join the team at Avita if Wells over a year ago as their Director of sales and have loved being a part of this amazing family. I am so thankful to have this opportunity to be able to be that resource to others and share our community with them.

The staff is wonderful, all are kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. Before I signed the lease, all costs and aspects of care were thoroughly explained in an easy to understand manner. The facility itself is not what I expected. Upon my arrival, I thought I was at the wrong place. From the outside it looks more like a very nice motel than a longterm care facility. The interior is even better, it's bright, airy and all on one level. The rooms are quite pleasant, roomy, nicely furnished with large windows. I feel that my wife is now in the best possible place for her longterm care.

Team Avita! Everything we've come up against, had always been guided by this great, creative, funny, and loving staff! Rosie, being the one who met with me first, pulled me right out of the zone of indifference, and we haven't looked back since! She and Matt Tremblay have gone above and beyond to accommodate both parents.xo. Wendy and Angela are crafty in handling situations sensitively. Again... THANK YOU!

In November of 2020, after the passing of our father, we were faced with the reality that our mother, who has dementia, could not live on her own and needed around the clock care. Avita of Wells was recommended as the best place in our area for long term, memory care, and we have been so thrilled with how this transition has gone over the past two months. To make a decision like this, during the best of times is hard enough. But to have to do this during COVID, knowing how little we would be able to see her, made it so much harder. Lisa, our sales person, was attentive, thorough and responsive during the investigation and decision making process. We would send her scores of questions each day, and none of them were left unanswered. Another reason why Avita of Wells was a great option was their amazing record of no COVID cases since the pandemic started last spring. They test their staff and residents regularly and managed to keep life fairly normal inside the community for the folks who live there. They allowed us to tour the facility in person (with all COVID precautions in place of course), and they allowed weekly in person visits which was a huge plus as most places were doing video tours and not allowing any in person visits. On our first visit we met most of the senior leadership team who took time to learn about our mother and address all our questions and concerns. When Matt, the Head Chef, knows as much about dementia care as Era, the Resident Care Director, you know you are in a special place. Days before move in, Avita of Wells had their first case of a resident testing positive for COVD during their routine testing, which changed our ability to move Mom in ourselves. We had to literally drop her stuff at the door and leave it to the staff to set up her room and settle her in, and what a wonderful job they did. We got many facetime calls from the staff the first few days, showing us Mom's room and making sure we were happy with how everything was set up for her. But more importantly, we had wonderful, thorough, kind, thoughtful and compassionate communication from all members of the staff about Mom's adjustment and how she is doing. Some staff members gave us their personal cell phones to text them at any time. Others will send random emails, texts and photos just sharing a story about something Mom did one day, or what they are observing and how they are helping her when she is "pleasantly confused." Less than two months into this massive transition, our mother is doing so well, making friends, engaging in the daily activities in the community, and always telling us how wonderful the folks are there who take care of her. The staff sit and look at her photo albums with her, they take the time to listen to her when she is feeling sad about the loss of her husband of 60 years, they help her stream mass from her home church on her iPad, they know that she likes orange marmalade on just about everything, and they are compassionate, kind and loving to her. They are the stand in family for us right now, while we can't be with her and we are so at peace that she is in wonderful hands and being well cared for. We hope these details of our experience of transitioning your loved one to long term care in these crazy, difficult times, will help you as you make your decision. And we can say with confidence that the staff of Avita of Wells have gone above and beyond our expectations to help make this transition as smooth as possible for our mother as well as for us.

My mom lived at Avita Wells for over 2 years and received wonderful care. The team actually cares about the people who live there. Now my aunt is dealing with dementia and I am so fortunate that she will be able to move to a place that provides the care and assistance that she needs. It's not easy dealing with dementia clients, but I have seen nothing but love and support provided to the residents from the staff at Avita.

My Mom is living at Avita and this place is awesome!!! This is a dementia care only home and the activities are designed around keeping the residents engaged throughout the day, therefore stimulating their brains and slowing down the progression of dementia. We have no regrets with Mom living here!!

The Team at Avita of Wells is one of the most welcoming group of people I have had the honor of knowing. You walk into the building and are immediately greeted by Wendy and her cheerfulness. As you walk around the building it is apparent that the Residents are well taken care of by Rosi and her Team; and maintain their purpose through Angela and her programming. The Community is well taken care of, Associates are smiling. Anyone would be lucky to have their loved one have this be their home.

Our experience with Avita has been wonderful; every staff member cares for Dad with great gentleness, compassion, and respect for who he is, designing his day around his interests and what he finds meaningful or fun. He is safe and well-cared for. What's more, the staff there support and care for us--his family--in every way we need help during his move-in and during difficult decisions. Their compassionate and frequent training, too, makes them the most knowledgable memory care facilities around. Highly recommend!
