Avendelle Assisted Living Is Now Part of Majestic Residences
Avendelle Assisted Living’s story continues within Majestic Residences. The official Avendelle website says the organizations joined forces in February 2026 and are moving forward together as Majestic Residences. Families researching a former Avendelle home should use the current operator’s information for that specific location.
The legal transaction has a separate date. Item 1 of Majestic Residences Franchise Systems, LLC’s May 19, 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document states that it purchased Avendelle’s assets on December 31, 2025. It also states that Avendelle Assisted Living, LLC no longer offers franchises. The February public transition and December asset purchase should not be treated as interchangeable dates.
Our Avendelle Assisted Living profile preserves the brand’s history and explains the transition. Prospective buyers can explore the Majestic Residences franchise profile for the successor business.
The Residential Care Approach
Majestic Residences’ official history traces Avendelle’s origins to Esther and Douglas Cromwell and their vision of care in residential homes. That history describes a focus on a familiar home setting and personal relationships. These are the organization’s stated priorities, rather than proof that every home produces the same experience or care outcome.
The successor’s 2026 FDD describes non-medical care in group residential assisted living homes, with trained caregivers working around the clock. Its stated services include meal preparation, assistance with bathing, dressing and other daily activities, medication management and social activities. The disclosure also describes support for acquiring, constructing and operating a home.
This scope helps distinguish residential assisted living from the unrelated services a family may encounter during a search. Around-the-clock caregiving does not, by itself, establish that a home provides continuous nursing or medical treatment. Families should ask the individual home to explain its licensed services and the assistance it can provide for their relative’s needs.
Questions About Staffing and Personal Assistance
A residential setting can be appealing to someone who prefers the layout and atmosphere of a home. Evaluating the actual care arrangement still requires location-specific information. Ask how many residents live there, how staffing changes across shifts and how the home responds when several residents need help at the same time.
Personalized care should not be interpreted as a promise of a dedicated caregiver for every resident at all hours. Discuss assistance with mobility, dressing, medication and other daily routines, and ask how a care plan is reviewed when needs change. For dementia-related needs, ask about the location’s capabilities, staff preparation and admission criteria.
Rooms, Activities and Family Visits
Before selecting a home, review the rooms that are actually available. Ask about private or shared accommodation, bathroom access, mobility features and personal belongings. A tour can also help a family assess common areas, meal arrangements and the daily routine.
Social activities, visiting arrangements and outdoor access deserve the same practical review. Ask what is offered at that location and how residents’ preferences are accommodated. The brand’s residential positioning should not be taken as a universal promise that every property is near a park or offers the same amenities and activities.
Understanding Monthly Costs
Request a written explanation of the monthly charge and what it includes. Ask how care needs affect pricing, whether additional services carry separate charges and how future increases are communicated. This is more useful than assuming that an “all-inclusive” description covers every medical, therapy or personal expense.
Review the resident agreement alongside the proposed care arrangement. Families can compare the specific services, accommodations and charges of each home instead of relying solely on a brand description.
What the Transition Means for Franchise Research
The former Avendelle entity’s cessation of franchise sales is not a statement that every former Avendelle home has closed. The successor FDD identifies both “Majestic Residences” and “Avendelle by Majestic Residences” among its trade names. Existing operations and individual agreements should be considered separately from the availability of a new franchise offering.
For ownership research, begin with the current franchisor’s disclosure and agreement. Historical Avendelle materials should not be assumed to establish current Majestic fees, training or contractual support. Our franchise ownership guide can help organize that evaluation.
Other senior-service business models serve different needs. The Assisted Living Locators profile and Right at Home profile offer separate opportunities to compare; neither should be mistaken for an Avendelle home or the successor franchisor.
