Avalon Memory Care

We had a great experience with Avalon for my father who was in the last stage of vascular dementia. They were very welcoming whenever I dropped by to see him no matter the time of day. When he first was transitioning to the residence, we would get texts and photos to show us how he was doing. The staff would host families on special holidays, and it was nice to meet the other families of the residents. It created a warm and friendly community. When my father became bed ridden before his death, Lucy, the head resident manager of his resident house, exuded so much empathy for him. She would feed him their meals, or make him smoothies when he couldn’t eat/chew. Whenever we would come to see him during this time, we would walk into his room and often see Lucy by his bedside talking to him. This kind of love towards the residents helped us feel at peace with the process of his death. My mother has already requested that if ever the time comes and she has a need for memory care, she wants to go to Avalon.

Our family had a very positive experience with Avalon Memory Care during my father’s later years. Caring for a loved one with memory challenges is never easy, but the staff at Avalon treated him with dignity, patience, and genuine compassion. Because of the consistent care, attention, and structure provided, we truly believe his quality of life was better—and his life was extended—by being at Avalon. His final years were calmer, safer, and more comfortable than they would have been otherwise. That peace of mind meant everything to our family. The team went above and beyond to communicate with us, address concerns, and ensure he was cared for as an individual, not just a patient. Memory care is complex and demanding work, and the staff handled it with professionalism and heart. We are grateful for the care my father received and for the role Avalon played in giving him dignity, comfort, and stability in his final years. We would not hesitate to recommend Avalon Memory Care to families facing similar circumstances.
