The Avalon Difference: Our Unique Approach to Memory Care

While looking for a memory care community, there are many factors to consider – the levels of care, amenities, reputation, and more. It can be difficult and overwhelming to find a community that checks all the boxes. With 30 years of experience, Avalon Memory Care knows the importance of a holistic approach in providing an engaging lifestyle and quality care for our residents.

At Avalon Memory Care, we strive to make a real difference in our residents’ lives through specialized care, stimulating activities, and a living space that fosters the comforts of home.

Specialized Care – Our Sole Focus on Memory Care

Avalon Memory Care communities offer a unique model of care that is designed to best serve individuals with memory loss. Our care team creates personalized care plans that reflect each resident’s needs, strengths, and preferences on a day-to-day basis. We leverage our 30 years of expertise in memory care to help boost self-esteem and autonomy for residents with dementia. This personal approach oftentimes results in a reduction of medications, increased appetite, and acceptance of the new surroundings.

Engaging Activities – Our Unique Approach

We offer more than just quality health care, too! Avalon’s holistic approach addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of every resident. Our carefully-curated programs and activities promote a fulfilling, fun lifestyle for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The community calendar is full of cognitive-stimulating activities including sing-a-longs, reminiscing games, low-impact exercise, puzzles, and, a resident favorite, pet therapy! These activities are key in reducing the loneliness often experienced by those dealing with memory-related illnesses.

Home Sweet Home – Our Boutique-Style Homes

Our spacious ranch-style homes foster a family feel, while having built-in security features including magnetic door locks at all entryways, easy-to-navigate floor plans, and secured outdoor patios. Our residents enjoy living in the privacy of their own rooms decorated with personal items like family photos, favorite art, and handmade quilts. Living at Avalon means your loved one will still enjoy the comforts of home, but with added security and safety for your peace-of-mind.
At Avalon Memory Care, our combination of customized care, engaging activities, and comforting atmosphere helps boost our residents’ overall well-being. Interested in learning more about our approach? Schedule a tour of Avalon here.
