Having three days for Dad at the Avenidas Rose Kleiner Center is good for him and a blessing for me. He needs the distraction and socialization that you do a great job in providing. The nurses are very attentive and I appreciate the care given. Thank you for encouraging therapy and working with all of your clients. Keep them moving!

Thank you for providing such a comfortable and pleasant place for my mom. She told me everyone at Avenidas is really nice to her and she seems quite happy. Knowing she’s being taken good care of is such a great relief off my shoulders. My sincere gratitude to all the caregivers.

Caregivers are very important to us. We offer a twice-monthly Caregiver Support Group to give family members the opportunity to share the ups and downs of caregiving with other caregivers. The group meets on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 10:00 am – 11:00 am.

Staff members are always available for consultation and support. Social work can refer caregivers to additional resources for care and support when needed.

Nurse Navigator Program

Our Nurse Navigator Program is part of the statewide Community Based Health Home Project (CBHH). 

The goal of this program is to improve the quality of life for participants allowing them to live in their own homes, and avoid admission to emergency rooms, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities. 

Specializing in Care Management, our Nurse Navigator works closely with the entire care team, providing oversight, advocacy, and an extra layer of support for participants with complex medical issues and few social support systems.
