  • Brookdale Avondale Description

    It’s time to trade in chores and the stress that comes from living at home. It’s time to stop spending time cleaning and cooking (unless you really want to). Instead, you should leave those things to us, and spend your days enjoying the best that senior living has to offer. That’s what you get at Brookdale Avondale, an exclusive assisted living community for seniors. We provide a wonderful lifestyle for those needing some additional help in their daily activities, while allowing you to remain as independent as possible. Residents can enjoy an active life with the added support and care that our loving staff delivers.

    We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood, with convenience to shopping, physician offices, banking and restaurants. Our intimate, single-story building is pet-friendly and designed to provide comfort, beauty and privacy in a charming, home-like setting. With a selection of private apartments and areas for socializing, dining and entertaining, our residents enjoy many opportunities to engage individual interests, passion and purpose.
