My mom is at Avita of Needham. The main reason why we chose them is the proximity to the family. I like the cleanliness, and I like the size of each village. There are four quads, and she is in one of the quads. It limits them to probably about 12 to 14 people, so we like that. The people are very friendly and knowledgeable. It's full memory care. Right now, after a month, I think the staff is very good. They keep the activities going all day long, and my mom seems to be very active in the activities. They have music programs for them. They do arts and crafts programs. They have mass once a week or every couple of days. Those are the things that keep her active. They also have movie time and stuff like that. They seem to be able to keep her very active, which is good. It's what she needs; she needs to be active. The food is good. My mom is pretty finicky and picky, but she has no complaints about the food. She likes it.

About Avita of Needham in Needham, Massachusetts
In everything we do, every day, our mission is to live well and love life! At Avita, we create a safe and fulfilling home-like environment where nurturing caregivers recognize each resident as a special and unique individual. Just because an individual may suffer from physical challenges or
memory impairment does not mean they have lost their spirit. Our goal is simple - to make a positive difference in people's lives by creating a special place where residents can thrive and
families can have peace of mind. That place is Avita of Needham.
We approach all of our care in a manner that looks holistically at the needs of our residents. In that way we believe we can maximize the abilities and minimize the losses of those in our care.
We know the health of our residents is important, but equally important is the quality of their social day. We have developed meaningful activities for our residents, ones that duplicate, as much as possible, the experience of living in one's own home.
We provide individualized activities to match the
capabilities of each resident, from those as
concrete as sensory activities, to more abstract activities.
The day for a resident at Avita of Needham will
have a flow to it that allows for rest, normal
day-to-day activities, spiritual enrichment,
exercise, healthy food in an enjoyable environment, and plenty of laughter and fun, all delivered in a safe, clean, and supportive environment.

My mil was here for 1.5 years for us it was a nightmare. Which is too bad because the place itself is really nice! The sales staff promises you the world. Then no where to be found if there’s an issue. The nurses are always agency and they come and go. Still the nurses are attentive and care. The Activities dept. is amazing and engaging. All that set aside.. The Aides are awful. my mil had some set backs ( Covid, a fall,, stomach virus) and became a difficult transfer at times. Every time I ...

I toured Avita of Needham. It's a very supportive community. The apartments were very clean, spacious, and full of sunlight. There were people who were engaging in artwork, there were people who were just convening to spend time with each other, and there were people outside enjoying the courtyard. It was very enjoyable. They have gardens, patios, and opportunities for residents to garden if they want. We didn't taste any food, but the dining area looked very clean. We reviewed the menu and it l...

Avita of Needham was very appealing. They had really nice rooms, and I really liked the director whom I made a wonderful connection with. Also, they had more Jewish people there, and I thought my dad, being Jewish, would like that. We participated in activities during the visit and we met with residents and hung out for an hour or two to see the level of participation and how they interacted with one another. One thing that was less appealing to me was they had a very low male ratio.

Avita of Needham was the best that I went to. They were really good. They were providing very good facilities for people for memory care. It was also very new, and the facility looked very nice and well-kept. It was the one I liked most of all, and I would definitely consider it for my mom. The staff was very good and excellent, and the rooms are great, new, and nicely-kept. Their programs and food were good, and they also serve wine. They can improve by having insulin management for patients to...

My mother lived at Avita for the past 5 years having recently passed away. Everyone at Avita made such a wonderful impact on her life. She was always well groomed with her favorite outfits jewelry and ,yes, even makeup and perfume. I could hear her laughing and having fun immediately upon entering her neighborhood. Of course she was quite capable when she first arrived but the love and care did not wane as her disease progressed. In fact, one might argue it improved as everyone knew her so...

Avita of Needham was 100% memory care. I chose it because I wanted a facility that was not too large and all memory care. My mother had dementia and she was all settled in.

I had some prior experience (10 years ago) with other assisted living providers, so I had a benchmark to base my impressions of Avita off of. The facility was recently built (less than 1-2 years ago I believe)and also offered a memory care wing to the facility to offer additional aid to residents who had some form of dementia. Unfortunately I drove right past the facility the first time I visited because the sign was so small; however it appeared this might have been a temporary sign based on ...

This is a new facility"”so far, very good at marketing and finding a niche as the memory care specialists in the area. Even though it is located conveniently just off the main road, it's set back in a woodsy spot that feels private. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with a secured garden area and the facility inside is beautiful and tastefully decorated. As mentioned Avita specializes in memory care"”and to that end, offers a lot of structure and routines to lessen residents' anxiety and ...

This is a new, all memory impairment facility, in a part of Needham that's a little more isolated. It's on a busy road, not walkable to anything nearby--and there's no public transportation. You have to drive 1-2 miles to get to shops and restaurants. But that's probably okay for the residents, since they're all in memory care. It's only been open about a month, and I've already been there three times. The facility itself is set back from the road about 100 feet, with green space around it. It...
