Why a Memory Care Community’s Atmosphere Matters to your Loved One

Expert clinical care is key when looking for a memory care community. But did you know a homelike atmosphere can also alleviate anxiety and confusion for individuals with dementia? At Avalon Memory Care, we believe residents don’t have to choose between the two! We intentionally foster a comfortable and familiar environment while also providing compassionate, expert memory care. Here are a few ways we strategically facilitate an experience of home for our residents.

Easing the Transition to a New Home

Moving to a new home can be overwhelming for anyone, but can be especially difficult for those with dementia. We encourage families to personalize their loved one’s new apartment with cherished photographs, familiar furniture, favorite artwork, and comforting blankets. Surrounding them with reminders of their past signals a sense of continuity and belonging. Our dedicated staff is here to support residents and families every step of the way, offering guidance and assistance in creating a space that feels like home.

Communities Designed to Promote Wellbeing

Avalon Memory Care was born out of a desire to provide a more compassionate and holistic approach to dementia and Alzheimer’s care.

Our communities are thoughtfully designed to feel like home with these principles in mind:

Boutique-style homes: Our intentionally small, single-story homes foster a sense of family among residents. This design promotes easy navigation, reduces confusion, and prevents falls, allowing residents to maintain a sense of independence.
Private rooms: Each resident enjoys a private room that can be customized with personal belongings and familiar decorations. These personal touches help add comfort and reduce anxiety.
Built-in security: Our communities feature secure outdoor spaces, including patios and spacious backyards, where residents can enjoy fresh air and sunshine safely. These areas are designed to provide freedom of movement while ensuring peace of mind for families.
Soothing ambiance: We create a calming atmosphere with warm colors, soft lighting, cozy textures, and natural elements. These sensory details help to reduce agitation and promote relaxation.

A Place to Call Home

Avalon Memory Care is more than just a place to receive expert care; it’s a place to call home. We are dedicated to providing a supportive, nurturing environment where individuals with dementia can live with dignity, comfort, and joy.Want to see one of our communities in person?
