Avalon Memory Care uses an all-inclusive rent model, so residents and families won't get surprised by extra fees each month, and the homes have a lived-in feel, with ranch-style, one-level layouts, private and semi-private rooms, spacious living areas, and luxury furnishings that seem picked for comfort rather than show, which a lot of people like because it feels familiar and comfortable instead of like a hotel, and outside, there's secure patios, walking paths, and roomy gardens so people can spend time outdoors safely. The community is designed for up to 25 residents, all of whom can have Alzheimer's disease or other memory problems, and the license from the State of Texas (License #149318) covers them for both small and large assisted living and lets them provide Alzheimer and Related Disorders Care. Avalon offers specialized care for dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or cognitive impairment, with staff always watching out for residents' safety and well-being, and they've built-in security like magnetic door locks and monitored outdoor areas to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, which is really important for residents with memory loss.
The staff have Certified Nurse Assistants, who are pre-screened and fingerprinted by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, and everyone is supervised and gets regular training in caring for the physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual needs of each person, trying to keep their independence, self-esteem, and dignity even when they need help with basic tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Residents get 24-hour care, including skilled nursing, medication reminders, medication administration, assistance with mobility, and help for those who are visually or hearing impaired or need support with continence, balance, and walking aids. There's also hospice care, memory care for mild cognitive impairment, and help for residents with dementia caused by illness, surgery, or accident, and the team includes a hands-on AL Manager named Meg and a Wellness Director named Shay, who makes sure medications get dispensed properly.
Residents eat in communal dining rooms but can also get room service if they wish, and guest meals are allowed so friends and relatives can visit and eat together, with parking for them as well, and the kitchen staff meets dietary needs like Kosher and vegetarian food. The activity schedule is busy, with daily planned events, games, story times, arts and crafts, movie nights, a musical group, gardening, and religious or devotional services on-site, so people stay engaged and have a chance to keep up hobbies or try new things. There's a recreation room, fitness and therapy space for physical and rehabilitation therapy, salon and barber visits, a garden group, and activities aimed at keeping everyone physically, socially, and mentally active.
The home has laundry and linen services, cleaning, and upkeep, so the residents don't need to worry about chores, and there's an on-site pharmacy, along with transportation to appointments, shopping, or events, which helps people stay independent and connected with the community. Pets are allowed, and Wi-Fi/high-speed internet is available so everyone can keep in touch with family or enjoy music and games on the common area TVs.
Avalon Memory Care tries to keep a family feeling, with a culture of kindness and individualized attention, and many families say the atmosphere is friendly, supportive, and helpful, which helps ease loneliness and gives people a chance to bond with each other. The goal stays clear-to support residents with personalized, sensitive care that addresses their unique needs, helps them stay active, and keeps them as independent as possible for as long as possible, while always watching out for safety and comfort.
