Assisted Living & Independent Living · Bel Air, MD

Overview of Brightview Avondell

Brightview Avondell offers assisted living and independent living in Bel Air, MD. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services for residents who do not need daily care. Having both care levels can suit someone whose support needs may grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

The community has 36 beds, placing it in the smaller-community range where staff and residents can get to know each other. Housing includes studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. A studio provides one private living space, while a two-bedroom apartment can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet when moving in.

Chef-prepared meals are served daily in a restaurant-style dining setting, giving residents an on-site place to eat without preparing meals in their apartments. An indoor pool, fitness center, community walking path, putting green, art studio, and woodshop offer spaces for exercise and creative or recreational activities. A beauty and barber shop provides on-site grooming. Outdoor spaces support exercise, dining, gardening, or relaxing.
