Avalon Square is one of my favorite places on this Earth. I have been visiting the Avalon for more than fifty years, first as a student who sang there with other members of the Waukesha High School Choir and then as an adult to visit my father and other family friends who live there, I enjoyed the experiences so much that I became a volunteer and started a theatre group for the Avalon residents. After each visit I feel energized and inspired. And I cant wait to return. Over the years I have strengthened existing friendships there, as well as becoming friends with many more residents and staff. The Avalon is a warm and inviting place. Every member of the staff is welcoming and truly dedicated to serving the residents. A wide variety of activities are offered, the food is outstanding, and I can always have a cup of coffee and enjoy good conversation with my friends in the cafe. I love Avalon Square!

I have been teaching basket weaving classes to residents at Avalon Square and members of the Waukesha community for the past14 years. The classes are an enjoyable experience for both participants and me. I cannot say enough about the enthusiasm, helpfulness and compassion on the part of Avalon staff Ive witnessed. It takes true teamwork to make things happen and here, the environment is both positive and uplifting. I see happiness in the residents(pretty much always, we all have our days now and then) and often in my classes I hear expressions of appreciation the residents share about how helpful and understanding staff members are. Avalon is a wonderful, caring community.

Our family is so grateful for Avalon Square. My Mom has lived independently at Avalon for nearly five years. Every experience from the front door (thank you Sue) to the executive director (always available) including many staff members have made Avalon a terrific experience for my Mom, and our family. During Covid they took great precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy with success. Because I live in a different state, I was not able to see my Mom for over a year. Avalon staff did a quick and vital pivot in order to connect families via Zoom. With the help of the great hard working lovely people at Avalon Square, we were able to see each other and visit online every week. I thought this was a very generous and compassionate life saver. I cannot stress how important this was for my Mom and for me. When I visit, I take long walks along the river and stroll the many shops of downtown Main Street. The location is terrific. The staff are wonderful.The building and apartment is sunny and lovely. I recommend Avalon Square without hesitation.

As a guest pastor at a number of chapel worship services at Avalon, I was always warmly welcomed by staff and those attending. A special thanks to campus pastor Rev. Erin Hittle for her support and encouragement. Overall such a wonderful living environment for seniors!

Avalon is an amazing place with amazing people who work there. The compassion that was shown to our Mom was above what we ever could have expected by both the staff and the residents. My Mom lived there for a short time, but both my sister and I completely agreed that it would be a place we would like to be when it is time for us to consider Assisted Living.

I cannot say enough good things about Avalon Square. I am so happy we choose Avalon as a place for my dad. Everyone on the staff from dining, housekeeping and maintenance to office staff and Directors have been extremely friendly and helpful. You cannot walk down the hallways without someone saying hello and knowing a story about your loved one. I am so grateful for the extra care that has been given during the pandemic and the communication that has been given to my family. I feel that Avalon truly cares about my dad and the people who live at the facility. They do a great job engaging residents during this difficult time. If you are looking for a place for your loved one to move, I would highly recommended checking it out!

I have worked for Presbyterian Homes at the Avalon Square community since 2008. The faith based community offers a comfort that few others can provide. Every morning the staff gather to pray for our residents, families, staff and in recent times the greater community. Residents and their families are who we exist to serve. I have the opportunity to walk alongside future residents and their loved ones while learning their story. Avalon Square offers an environment in which staff can create smiles in the eyes of older adults. It is a honor and privilege to be a part of that journey while truly enjoying the work that I do!

I dont think you can find a better retirement home in the area. My mother passed away several years ago and after a year or two dad decided to sell his home. The Avalon always has a substantial waiting list. Luckily dad didnt wait long. He was willing to take a one bedroom instead of a two bedroom. They have programs and events constantly. At 95-years old he enjoys the workout facility, the weekly sheepshead games, the cribbage, and the Thursday Social Hour. Great staff. Great facility. Hope someday I can get into Avalon Square.

The most wonderful facility. My grandmother was in memory care. The people really cared. They even visited her in the hospital and attended her funeral. My grandfather has an apartment there. The building is decorated beautifully. Everywhere you turn it feels like home. We have our family events there. The dining area, 50s cafe and area with a fireplace thats like a living room. The food is great, activities like WI bowling and outings to the store are only very few opportunities to socialize. I wish I could live there!

I would like to thank the staff at Avalon Square, Arbor House Memory Care Unit, for the loving care they provided for my mother. She was a resident there for over a year. Everyone was attentive to her needs, especially Regina, her CNA, who was very kind and caring. She went above and beyond to keep her clean and comfortable. Due to Dementia, she was difficult to care for, but Regina did her best. Her apartment was always neat and clean. The last few days, she was on hospice care and the staff at Avalon, especially Pastor Erin, helped support us and Kay on her journey to heaven. Pastor Erin was able to give Kay the Sacrament of the Sick, shortly before she died and comfort us. We are so grateful Kay was able to spend the last year at Avalon.

I give 3 stars because over all its a good place. Pretty clean and well ran. My family been living here for some years and never had a bad experience into a few weeks ago I came and could not get buzzed in. Was calling for over 20 min with no answer. Finally as someone was exiting I went in. When I got to the second floor one of the workers was in the chair asleep. She was so asleep that she didnt even notice that I was in the door and took a picture. I try to upload it here but dont know how. Really not a good look.

As I was leaving a restaurant I got a text from Google asking me to review it like I have so many. I thought maybe I ought to review where I work, where my 98 year old father has lived for 7 years in independent living, and where my mother lived with Alzheimer's Disease in Specialty Care before she died. First, they hired me over 6 years ago. I was retired and 65 years old. An age group no one wants to hire, even part time, like me. That in itself shows their willingness to give someone a chance. Thank you! I love my job, it is not only rewarding but fun. My father lives in independent apartments. He is on his own. But if he wants to he can take exercise classes, go to the gym, a movie, lectures, games, puzzles, watch ballgames, go on outings etc. If he wants someone to talk to he leaves his apartment and goes to a common area. If there aren't residents around to talk with, there are employees who care about and enjoy the interaction with the residents and would love spending some time talking with him. So he is never alone, unless he wants to be. He eats dinner every night with his friends. My mother was an excellent cook so he can honestly say the food at Avalon is great! He enjoys telling people how happy he is at Avalon. That he knows it was a smart decision to sell his houses and move to where there are people around. Rather than sitting in a house alone. We are glad he is at Avalon too. He is in a secure building, safe. My mother lived in Specialty care for 3 years. As Alzheimer's Disease stole her slowly from us the staff took care of her needs. They were kind and caring. The RA's and nurses helped us, and her, deal with the cruelty of this disease.

The tour was good and the staff was nice. They answered all of my questions. They explained everything very well. The room was small and an odd set up. Mom would've loved the history of Waukesha that was inside. And they had a little diner set up in there that was so nice. They are located downtown and had very limited parking.

We found a place for my cousin, and she is in Avalon Square in Waukesha. It is a Presbyterian home; it is beautiful and wonderful. She’s got good care there. She was crying when she went in there on Monday; this all happened so fast because she had a small stroke, so we had to find a place quick, but everything os doing good now. It’s downtown Waukesha, so a lot of things going on; it's kind of a fun area, and the people there are wonderful. She needs some physical therapy, and they’ve got a company called Health Ridge that has a physical therapist straight within the building, so she doesn’t have to go out. And then she needs a flu shot, and they said the people are coming here for a flu shot. She needs a podiatrist, and they come in once a month. Everything is there, just wonderful. The nurse, the guides, and the aides are just wonderful. There’s chair Olympics, trivia, and movie every Saturday night, and Wednesday they had free chocolate malts at the café which she loves. They have some craft activities, but she has only been there for four days. Every day I visit her, and she is happier and happier. The food is wonderful. We had dinner with her on Monday evening, and it was just a wonderful dinner. They could order whatever they want for breakfast. She just gets 2 meals a day; she chose breakfast and supper. It’s really a wonderful place. Every person that lives there introduced themselves to Judy and said she'd love it.
