From The Community

If you’re like most of the seniors who call our community home, you spent years taking care of other people. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone took care of you for a change?

When you move to our assisted living community at Brookdale Avondale in Jacksonville, Florida, you can say farewell to things like cooking, cleaning and maintaining a house. Our team is here to handle all of those ordinary chores, which means you probably have more free time now than you’ve had in years. 

If you’re wondering how you’re going to spend your days if you aren’t doing chores, don’t worry. We have more than enough here to keep you busy: 

  • Get competitive during bingo nights

  • Meet your friends for a fitness class

  • Laugh the night away during evening card games

  • Attend an art class

  • Take an evening stroll with friends

You can also enjoy the luxury of living in a spacious and sunny apartment with plenty of room to invite your grandchildren over for birthdays and other special events. We even have a game room and screen lanai, so you can take advantage of activities and the great outdoors together without having to pack up and drive to another location.

It’s wonderful to live in a place where you have fewer responsibilities and more interesting things to do. But another huge benefit of life on campus is the peace of mind that comes from having access to quality care. We work together with you and your family before you arrive to design a custom care plan that meets your specific needs. 

Maybe you just want us to handle the chores so you have more time for your hobbies. Or maybe you want someone to help you with tasks like bathing, dressing and managing medication. No matter how much assistance you want, you can also have peace of mind knowing our staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to be alerted to an emergency. 

Don’t forget to bring your furry friend along, too, because we’re a pet-friendly community and love it when our residents decide to include Fido in this new chapter of life!
