The Avalon's goal and services are based on two fundamental philosophical principles. The belief in the innate worth of the aged and disabled individual and the belief that each individual, regardless of age, sex, race, religion or handicap, is entitled to maximize his/her potential as a human being and be an active member of society.

It is the Avalon managements belief that the aging process is a normal step in the development of any individual and that chronic disease and disability are, to some degree, a part of the process. The Avalon is dedicated to assisting residents to maximize their contributions to society, fulfill their goals as family members while living comfortably in a congregate setting and receiving personal care assistance as necessary, thereby promoting individual respect.
