These people are really salt of the earth. They are positive and supportive and kind and will go above and beyond for residents and their families. I am so happy that my father has moved here, I only wish that he had experienced Chartwell Avondale sooner, because it truly is a great place to be! If you are considering a place for your family member- go and see them, you won't regret it. :)
