Avalon Memory Care offers what they call "Memory Care" for seniors with memory loss, such as Alzheimer's and other dementias, and the place is set up to make things feel homelike and safe for people who need this kind of care. The community focuses on comfort and safety, and uses features like secured property gates, the Wander Guard system, and enclosed courtyards to help keep residents from wandering, while still letting them move around as much as they're able. Staff have special training to work with people who have memory impairments, and they give residents person-centered care with personalized care plans and programs that try to keep the brain active and help with memory retention. Avalon has dedicated memory care-only communities and offers different housing-detached homes, studio and one-bedroom apartments, condos, and townhomes-so there's a range of possible living spaces to choose from. Rooms often include in-room kitchenettes.
The facility brings in a few extra comforts, including gardens for butterflies and hummingbirds, raised garden beds, and an indoor enclosed courtyard, and it welcomes both dogs and cats as pets. Residents have access to beauty salons, barber shops, and spas for their daily routines, and common areas include TV or media rooms, computer rooms, libraries, art and crafts centers, and game rooms, and there's even a theater or movie room for entertainment. Avalon also gives residents covered and uncovered parking, and thanks to the community's location near public transit, families can visit more easily. If someone needs a little break, respite care is available, and if health needs change, Avalon offers medication management, hospice care, many health services, and physical therapy.
Dining rooms and private dining spaces are set up for sharing meals, and staff can support different dietary needs. Safety features are part of the living spaces and include medical alert systems, medication dispensers, and ID theft protection. For those who want to live more independently, there's assisted living, independent living, and senior apartments as well as home care services that help people age in place. Avalon offers caregiver support and technology such as senior cell phones, internet plans, and hearing aids to help keep families connected. The staff speak more than one language to help residents feel at home. Rates start at a listed price for both assisted living and memory care, and all rent is all inclusive, so there's less surprise when paying bills. On the whole, Avalon Memory Care tries to set up a secure, comfortable, and supportive space for older adults with memory loss, focusing on safety and peace of mind for both residents and their families.
