Avendelle Assisted Living Fuquay sits in a quiet residential neighborhood and offers a small, homelike place for seniors who need help with daily activities and memory care support. The home isn't big, since it's licensed for six beds, so people usually get more attention, with a 3-to-1 resident to caregiver ratio, which means there's always someone close by to help. The staff are trained, friendly, and ready to provide help around the clock with bathing, dressing, medication, meal support, and more, and there are visiting physicians and a visiting hairdresser to help meet health and grooming needs.
There's a focus on keeping things both safe and cheerful here, with fire sprinklers, fire alarms, and emergency alert systems in place, plus doors with alarms so residents stay protected. Whether someone has Alzheimer's or another dementia-related challenge, there's a memory care unit with a secure, supportive environment and activities that help keep minds engaged. Care plans in the memory care section fit each person's needs, and staff support with transfers and non-ambulatory care when needed.
The building itself is set up for comfort, with both private and semi-private bedrooms, renovated bathrooms, a big open living area, and a covered deck for relaxing outdoors. Everyone gets three nutritious meals and three snacks each day, and the kitchen team can handle vegetarian, diabetic, and allergy-sensitive diets. The dining room is a social spot, and meals come at set times, though residents' food preferences get considered, too.
Residents don't spend their days alone, since there's plenty for them to do-indoor and outdoor activities, movie nights, walks in the garden, games, social gatherings, educational activities, and even devotional services for those who want them. Staff encourage people to join in, which helps folks stay active and build connections with others in the home. Housekeeping, laundry, concierge services, and move-in coordination are all available, so residents don't have to worry about everyday chores.
Rooms come furnished and have cable TV and telephone access, so families and friends can easily stay in touch. There are walking paths and a nice garden outside, and the transportation service helps when someone needs to go offsite. Avendelle works closely with families and even hospice providers, wanting each resident to feel at home, supported, and part of a caring community.
