Avendelle Assisted Living: Now Part of Majestic Residences

Avendelle’s residential assisted-living concept developed from Esther and Douglas Cromwell’s interest in providing senior care in smaller homes. The combined organization’s official history describes an approach centered on residential surroundings, personal relationships and communication with families. Avendelle grew from a single residence into a network of homes before joining Majestic.

The May 19, 2026 Majestic FDD identifies Avendelle Assisted Living, LLC as a North Carolina company organized on November 23, 2021. That legal-entity date should not be confused with the beginning of the Cromwells’ earlier care-home operations. Item 1 records the asset purchase on December 31, 2025; the public websites describe the combined organization’s February 2026 transition.

Majestic’s FDD lists both Majestic Residences and Avendelle by Majestic Residences among its trade names. It identifies Majestic Residences Franchise Systems, LLC as the franchisor. The former Avendelle entity’s franchise offering and the successor system therefore need to be distinguished when researching the brand.

Before the transition, Avendelle’s published franchise materials described assistance with selecting a site, licensing, training, operations and marketing. A February 10, 2025 company article also discussed startup guidance, operating systems and continuing support. Those materials describe the former Avendelle program.

They do not establish the training package for a new Majestic franchise. The successor system has its own disclosure document and training terms. Our Majestic Residences profile describes the reviewed successor program, including initial training and ongoing operational assistance.

The distinction matters for buyers comparing programs: historical Avendelle course descriptions should not be treated as current Majestic obligations, fees or opening commitments. Existing Avendelle owners’ individual agreement and transition arrangements are separate from a new franchise offer.

Avendelle’s history is relevant to readers exploring residential assisted living: its concept emphasized smaller homes and relationships with residents and their families. That background now forms part of the combined Majestic organization’s story.

Prospective owners should evaluate the successor opportunity through Majestic Residences, including its operating responsibilities, training and applicable disclosure terms. This page retains the Avendelle brand history so people researching the former name can understand what changed and find the corresponding successor profile. It does not present the former Avendelle franchisor as an independent current offering.
