Avon Oaks Caring Community sits at 37800 French Creek in Avon, Ohio, and has been family owned and operated by the Reidy family since 1965, so there's a real sense of tradition and warmth that runs through everything, and you'll notice staff get treated like part of the family with a strong focus on love and expert care. The facility is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which means there's options for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, subacute rehab, wound care, hospice and palliative care, respite care, and long-term care, all under the same roof, and there's a nice mix of private garden apartments in the Gardens of French Creek assisted living building, with patios, carpeted rooms, kitchenettes, and plenty of support handled by licensed nurses or personal care staff. The nearby area has local cafes, parks, and churches like St. Barnabas, plus a CVS Pharmacy a mile away, so you've got lots of ways to get out and about if you like, and there's easy access to both Cleveland Clinic - Avon Hospital and Med-Wise Senior Health Center for medical help.
Avon Oaks has a resident and family council that listens to concerns and suggests ways to improve daily life, and the facility's grown over the years to include updated spaces along with the Porter Pavilion Memory Support and Acorn Child Care Center, which was actually the first childcare center inside a nursing home in Ohio, giving the place a unique intergenerational feel you don't run into much elsewhere. The care teams have board-certified geriatricians, social workers like Gayla Noll, plus therapists and admissions folks such as Collette Blair and Natalie McIntyre, and everybody works together with doctors to keep residents as healthy and independent as they're able, with therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy up to seven days a week, along with outpatient and pet therapy, and non-ambulatory care for folks who aren't able to move around easily.
There's 24-hour supervision, a call system for emergencies, and help with things like medication management, bathing, dressing, or transferring from bed to chair, so daily life's as safe and comfortable as possible, and for memory care and those facing dementia, the Porter Pavilion Program has extra support. Residents enjoy outdoor patios, meals in group dining rooms, regular housekeeping and laundry, satellite TV, activities, maintenance, and transportation for appointments, so the living feels homelike and settled, and the community's known for handling family concerns with honesty and care instead of dodging tough topics. Avon Oaks is long-term care licensed, partners with Cleveland Clinic Skilled Nursing Connected Care Services, and stands out for offering a true range of senior living and health services alongside their intergenerational childcare, keeping things simple, reliable, and rooted in real relationships.
