Avalon Memory Care sits at 4551 Boat Club Rd in the Jenkins Heights - Crest Ridge neighborhood in Fort Worth, TX, and the place focuses on caring for people with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other memory problems, and the building's single-level, ranch-style layout keeps everything easy to navigate, while rooms come in studio or semi-private options with space for both privacy and comfort, and for resident safety, all the doors and patios have special magnetic locks, and the grounds stay secured so folks can enjoy the garden and sunshine without worry about wandering off.
Staff keep an eye on things 24 hours a day, and that includes Certified Nurses Assistants with fingerprint clearance and extra training in memory care, plus the staff includes nurses, a doctor on call, and outside specialists like podiatrists, dentists, and therapists who check in or visit as needed, so residents get care for every kind of issue that might pop up, whether it's behavior, mobility, medications, or even insulin shots, and for seniors who need help with bathing, dressing, feeding, or using the restroom, staff are always ready, including use of mechanical lifts for residents who need a transfer, whether that's a one-person or two-person move.
Spaces are well-lit and clean, the apartments aim for safety and comfort, the community has lounges with cable TV, and folks can get haircuts or grooming in the salon right there on-site, plus meals are made every day with healthy options and special diets to fit medical, religious, or personal needs-including low salt, gluten free, vegan, organic, or just regular good food-and if a resident wants to eat with a guest, that's possible too since guest meals are offered.
Activities fill the schedule, and there's always horticultural programs for those who love gardening, music and arts for creativity, as well as baking, tabletop games, and fitness and wellness classes to keep people moving or just having a good time, and some activities take residents out in the neighborhood since on-site transportation helps with shopping and outings, so no one's just stuck inside.
Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance get handled, and therapists-physical, occupational, and speech-help with recovery and strength, while caregivers do daily reminders for medication, and there's also a pharmacy onsite.
