“Avalon view is the WORST nursing home/care facility I’ve ever been in…Furthermore, a large amount of money has come up missing from her”
– Jayson King –
“We took him to the ER the next day after getting out of there and he had a bone infection, and gangrene due to his stay at this nursing home. They almost killed my brother.“
Krista Ward
“…she was there a total of 2 nights before we took her out. In those 2 nights, she was given snacks that were covered in mold, a total of 2 meals, and had her pain medication withheld.”
Cassie Reffitt
“…even a year after escaping this facility he is still healing from the bed sores.“

Avalon View Health and Wellness
Sheltered behind a soothing name, Avalon View Health & Wellness is, in truth, a disaster zone cloaked as a nursing home. Its damning one-star rating—echoed across every reputable review site and by Medicare—serves as a flashing siren for families who dare to look beneath the surface. Federal inspectors have already slammed the facility with $136,000 in fines and an alarming 35 health-code citations, yet the neglect only deepens: call bells ring through empty corridors, medications vanish unrecorded, and frail residents are left unattended for hours, their basic needs ignored. Numerous lawsuits and heart-rending testimonials accuse Avalon View of letting elders waste away—or worse, die under its watch—while staff pocket the profit of indifference.
The betrayal doesn’t stop at inadequate care; desperate families report cash and valuables disappearing from residents’ rooms, compounding grief with a raw sense of violation. Ranked among the worst nursing homes in the country, Avalon View transforms supposed sanctuary into a place of fear, deprivation, and irreversible loss. If this facility has wounded someone you love, your story is more than catharsis—it’s evidence, accountability, and a lifeline for those still trapped inside. Speak out now, and help us expose the full horror hidden behind Avalon’s doors before another life is stolen.
