Avail Senior Living

Our family will forever be grateful to Avail Memory Care for the incredible love, compassion and care they provided to our beloved mother during her time there. From the moment she arrived until her passing, we witnessed nothing but kindness, professionalism, and genuine warmth from every member of the staff. The caregivers, administrators and support staff were not only skilled, but truly loving. They treated our mother with the dignity and respect she deserved. They ensured that she felt safe, valued and most importantly loved. The communication with us as a family was open, honest and constant. We always felt informed and involved at every step of her journey. The daily activities brought joy and purpose to her life, and the regular social and family events were truly exceptional. Avail Memory Care is more than a facility it’s a family. A place of compassion, connection and care. We will never forget the support and love we received during such a meaningful chapter of our lives. Thank you Chris and Avail staff for everything. With gratitude, Garland Hilliard

Avail is absolutely the best! My 88-year-old aunt lives at Avail. When her husband was alive, she lived in a different facility. At The previous facility, I don’t remember a single time that I didn’t hear Staff grumbling or fussing about something. At Avail, all employees speak to you, appear happy, and seem to like their jobs! what a difference! The surroundings are absolutely incredible, beautifully decorated, truly thought out for the sake of the residence and aesthetically pleasing. Direct the apartments are great sized and laid out perfectly. But it’s the people that work @ Avail, that truly make it a home. Chris Beckstrand, the executive director and founder of Avail is absolutely one of a kind. He goes above and beyond for every resident; I have never met anyone like him! From Chris to the Resident Assistants, I cannot brag on them enough. and the amount of family activities they have is outstanding! From major holidays to random gatherings, it is absolutely incredible! We have listened to fantastic music at family gatherings, built, gingerbread houses at Christmas, participated in trunk or treat and Easter egg hunts. These are just A few of the wonderful activities we have participated. My aunt has been there almost a year and she truly loves being @ Avail. And I forgot to mention the food! The chef @ Avail is truly incredible! My aunt is in a wheelchair and is not able to participate in some things, but she loves to eat! They grow their own garden and have these to produce their own honey!I could absolutely live and eat at Avail! Obviously, we all hope to live in our own homes forever, but if you need assistance or just want a community to feel close to, Avail is absolutely by far. The best Senior Living I have ever seen!

I recently did some video work for Avail, and spent a few days recording all throughout the community. Everyone I saw and interacted with, both staff and residents, had a clear joy and positive attitude about being there. I was filming with the director, and the amount of times a passing resident stopped to express how grateful they were to live there was shocking — I felt like I was in a living infomercial. It was clear that the people living there enjoy getting to be a part of a community that makes them feel safe and like they belong.

Well it started almost ten years ago. My mom and dad called from Texas. Mom told me that they had their house up for sale and were moving to Chattanooga. My dad was getting worse with his Parkinson's Disease. They bought a house in Chattanooga, and lived there for two years until mom just could not take care of Ed. My sister and I found an assisted living facility off Shallowford RD in 2015 and they moved in. That is when we met Chris Beckstrand he was the executive director. Chris just can't hide his heart for people especially those in his care. My dad passed in 2016, Chris was right there to help. Chris also has help with caring from the staff and team members, and put his faith in God to guide them. Chris started his own assisted living facility, and we moved mom there about three years ago. The staff does not know when we are coming to see mom, but when we walk in I see them painting the fingers nails of the residents, interacting with them and caring for the residents like they are family. Caring is the main thing I see at Avail. I have noticed Chis has a little grey hair now, so he fits in even better with the family at Avail. Thanks to all the staff at Avail.

My wife has worked here for years and it is by far the best senior living home I’ve seen. It’s always clean, the staff is helpful, and the owner chris does more for these residents than any other senior living home.
