How Avalon Cultivates Family-Like Relationships

By the time a person gets to the point at which dementia care is typically required, he or she has spent years taking care of the family and community. At Avalon Memory Care, we firmly believe in giving back to the previous generation. Seniors with dementia deserve more than the usual, institutional setting of nursing homes—they deserve a home-like environment that cultivates close-knit communities.

Our memory care locations accomplish this by housing our residents in cozy homes with common areas that mimic the look and design of living areas in any other home. Our residents get to know each other and their 24/7 caregivers closely, enabling a companionable, family-like community to develop naturally. When they need some space to themselves, our residents will find the comfort and privacy they deserve in their own spacious rooms, which they can furnish and decorate any way they wish.

Our Alzheimer’s caregivers in Dallas, Houston and Arlington are exceptionally warm, compassionate individuals who look forward to meeting your family. Call Avalon Memory Care at (214) 752-7050 to request information about our approach to Alzheimer’s support.
