Avantara has had my mother, brother, and my dad live with them. Their care is second to none!!! I am a retired RN who worked my last 9 years in Geriatrics!! I would highly recommend Avantara. They are kind and compassionate, have a wonderful activity Director and the residents have a great time. I have NEVER seen such great care at a nursing home. When you walk in the door, everyone is friendly, the smell is amazing. I can't say enough good about the staff. They are engaged and it's easy to tell they love their jobs🩵💜 Would give them a 10 out of 5 if possible 💙🩵💜

The facility is always clean, and there’s a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. It gives our whole family peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. Thank you to the team for all that you do!

I recently visited Avantara Groton and was incredibly impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and cleanliness of the facility. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease. The residents appeared well cared for, engaged, and genuinely happy. I was especially impressed by how attentive the nurses and aides were—not just to physical needs, but to emotional well-being as well. The environment is bright, peaceful, and thoughtfully maintained. It’s clear that everyone there takes pride in their work. I left with complete confidence that my loved one is in the best hands possible. Highly recommended!

I’ve had the opportunity to visit Avantara Groton multiple times, and I’m always impressed by the level of care and attention the residents receive. People I know who live there are treated with genuine kindness and respect, and it’s clear the staff truly care about their well-being. The facility is clean, welcoming, and has a warm atmosphere. Every time I stop by, I see residents engaged in activities, smiling, and being supported in a thoughtful, compassionate way. It’s comforting to know that those I care about are in such good hands. Not to mention I am always blessed by the presence of their mascot Otto!🐶
