Avante At Ormond Beach sits across from the Trails Shopping Center and feels pretty welcoming, with a covered entryway, an outdoor gazebo, and nice landscaping all around, and folks there get their own furnished private room with a private bathroom, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, plus an emergency call system. The nurses and staff offer support with medication, bathing, dressing, transfers, non-ambulatory care, and help with daily living, and you'll always find someone around because there's 24-hour supervision and a round-the-clock call system, which gives some peace of mind. They offer a lot of different care options, including skilled nursing, rehab therapy, assisted living, memory care, long-term and short-term care, subacute care, adult day care, respite, hospice, and even home health care, so folks with all kinds of needs get help here.
Meals come from an in-house chef, and they serve them restaurant-style in a community dining room with comfortable seating, and they make sure to accommodate special diets, including for allergies and diabetes, since nutrition is important, and they clean and do laundry for everyone too. The facility has spots like a residents lounge, movie theater, library, arts and games room, walking paths, a fitness gym with therapy gear, as well as gardens and even a spa/sauna, and folks get together for movie nights, music programs, outdoor and indoor activities, educational sessions, wellness coaching, and plenty of resident-run events, since keeping social ties strong seems to be a big focus here. The staff also provides transportation and parking, and they set up a lot of community-sponsored gatherings, so life's not too quiet if you want to be around others, though family and friends are always encouraged to visit too.

The nurses include RNs, LPNs, vocational nurses, and certified nursing assistants, plus bilingual staff for those who need it. They coordinate move-ins, help families adjust, and run support groups.

The place cares for those with chronic conditions, acute needs, memory and dementia issues, and they handle short and long-term stays, including rehabilitation after illness or injury and respite for caregivers.
