“We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my mother received during her time at Avalon Care Center. Jo-Anne Batalon and her team are compassionate, dedicated, and treat every resident like family. They gave us complete peace of mind, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding care for a loved one.”

★★★★★Marc Alconis · 2025-11-23 · via Google

“After my uncle was discharged from Pali Momi, finding a rehabilitation center that truly prioritizes the health and well-being of their patients was one less thing to worry about, thanks to Avalon. Their knowledgeable nurses and nurse aides took great care of him, and especially the dietitian for providing the proper nutrition for my Uncle. The list of things to thank them of can go on and on, but…”

★★★★★Steve Walsh · 2026-06-11 · via Google

“Avalon Care Center does an incredible job. We are an aging population and there needs to be more options like this in our community. I cannot say enough about the nurses and doctors and supporting staff who make Avalon tick. They are working their butts off every day.”
