Having a mother who has been struggling with Dementia for the past 12 years and experiencing several facilities prior to Ava Cares, I can tell you this is the best facility in the Brandon area. The caregivers here are unbelievable, calling me directly when my mother is alert and able to talk, even face timing me since I am located in Texas. Like many others, I have visited my mom without notice and it has been consistently clean and noticeable that the staff interacts everyday on a personal level with each occupant. It truly is a family oriented business and they make sure to include us in birthday and holiday celebrations. The care and love they give is a peace of mind and something I can't stress enough about in terms of quality. They truly are a blessing.

Do not put your family in any of Ava's assistant living facilities. I think opening up 5-6 ALFs is being greedy for money when the care is aweful, philipino workers don't speak a word of English or have legal papers, they are overworked, do not provide attention, care, food is not great, there is no...

Do not put your family in any of Ava's assistant living facilities. I think opening up 5-6 ALFs is being greedy for money when the care is aweful, philipino workers don't speak a word of English or have legal papers, they are overworked, do not provide attention, care, food is not great, there is no love or care being offered. Turn over of residents is crazy, so I got my mother out of there before they killed her! Ava needs to be investigated by the state and put out of business.

If I could go less than one star, I would. As others have said, this place is all about the money, not the care. The staff barely speaks English, there's no interaction with the residents (they get put in front of the TV for the entire day). If your loved one is ambulatory and can feed him/hers...

If I could go less than one star, I would. As others have said, this place is all about the money, not the care. The staff barely speaks English, there's no interaction with the residents (they get put in front of the TV for the entire day). If your loved one is ambulatory and can feed him/herself, maybe. But if they are not, it is not worth the $3,500 per month that's being charge. If you do put someone there, please, please get a nanny cam and hide it somewhere. Other than being clean, there's nothing good I could say about their care of my mother, who really declined while there and not because of her condition. Ava Cares IV is at 616 Valle Vista Rd., Brandon.
