Avalon Memory Care sits in Dallas with seven small homes set just off major roads like US 75 and the Dallas North Tollway, where you'll find a quieter, homelike setting instead of a big institution, and the homes stay cozy and welcoming with rooms that come semi-private, private, or one-bedroom, each giving privacy as well as safety, with secured spaces and magnetic door locks to keep those who tend to wander safe. They focus on people with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory problems, and the staff, many of whom are Certified Nurses Assistants, get special training and supervision to help residents handle the basics, whether that's eating, bathing, or getting dressed, and they're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so help is always close by. Staff can handle aggressive or unusual behavior, and they can help with physical, medication, diabetic, and incontinence care, including reminders for restroom use and care for bowel and bladder incontinence, while a nurse is always on the property with doctors and dentists on call in case medical care is needed.
Meals come any time of day, with choices for special diets like vegetarian, kosher, vegan, gluten-free, low/no salt, low/no sugar, and even organic when you ask, and residents can eat together or in their rooms with meals made for taste and nutrition, and guest meals for family visits, too. There's a strong activity schedule focusing on the whole person, with indoor and outdoor areas for gardening, arts and crafts, music, games, religious services, hobbies, fitness, and even pet-friendly spaces for those who want animal company, and activities change to fit each resident's needs. Avalon Memory Care offers physical, occupational, and speech therapies onsite, plus beauty and barber services, podiatry, pharmacy, shopping trips, and transportation to appointments, making it easier for people to age in place and keep some independence.
Residents with Alzheimer's or dementia get individually-tailored support in memory care units built to be both safe and calm, and the entire community stays non-smoking indoors for everyone's health. Avalon takes in both men and women, sometimes in homes for one gender only, and provides hospice care, respite care, and short-stay options, so families can rest when they need it, too. The houses are all licensed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, and the staff works to keep everyone's dignity and sense of self, from spiritual needs to mental health and social support. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance come with the stay, and rooms are cleaned regularly, so residents can focus on living life instead of chores. For families who want to see the place, Avalon Memory Care offers tours, letting you judge the setting, staff, and services in person before any decisions get made.
