About Avalon Memory Care

Avalon Memory Care has pioneered a unique model of care that is tailored to the individual special needs of those affected with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and cognitive impairments in a safe and secure environment. Our comprehensive philosophy of care means that we attend to the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of each resident to ensure they achieve their full quality of life potential with individualized daily routines.

At Avalon Memory Care all of our focus and attention is on you and your loved one. Our family is dedicated to helping the people in our community through the difficult process of transitioning loved ones to a home that meets their evolving care needs. Avalon Memory Care is unparalleled in professional and sensitive care while also assuring the safety and well-being of our residents. We are licensed by the State of Texas as a small/large Type B Assisted Living with Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders certification. We have comparable licensing from the Department of Health and Senior Services in the State of Missouri.

At Avalon, we emphasize activities of life that promote each resident’s self-esteem and dignity. This special approach oftentimes results in a reduction of medications, increased appetite and acceptance of the new surroundings. We feel that our therapeutic environment maintains autonomy as disease progresses, in many cases, as residents continue many of the daily personal tasks for which they are acquainted with based upon their life. Your loved one will be surrounded by an experienced team of Avalon professionals and familiar treasures to help reinforce positive memories, while living in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms in a spacious, home-like environment. They’ll enjoy luxury accommodations including exquisite furnishings in homes designed to promote a “homelike feel” as opposed to larger institutional environments. The combination of environment, customized care, and our loving approach allow our residents to bond with their care team, giving their loved ones peace of mind.

My Mom recently passed away. She had dementia for 4+ years. She was at a skilled nursing facility and got basically no care at all. We moved her to Avalon Memory Care 2 years ago. She had a beautiful room and great care. The staff is very loving, treating the patients as if they were family. Everyone is patient and kind. The staff works as a team to care for each resident. They gave good food, snacks, and activities such as exercise, live music, and crafts. For those who are past that stage, sitting in a comfy recliner with a cozy blanket is a good place to snooze. I am glad Mom had such a caring, safe place to live out her last years. I will miss visiting after becoming close to staff members that cared for her. Avalon was such a blessing to our family.

My mother has had dementia for at least four years, maybe more. When we first brought her to Avalon three years ago she had already been to another local memory care facility for a few months and it was a total nightmare. However, as soon as we pulled up to the Avalon facility, several attendants and the manager came outside to welcome my mother, brought her inside; it was the first time I'd felt a sense of relief in quite some time dealing with my mother's living situation. From the very beginning, staff and management have been so loving and helpful to my mother, and above all respectful of her dignity. They have been and continue to be the absolute best caregivers money can buy. I honestly cannot recommend Avalon Memory Care high enough.

Avalon memory care has the most caring staff. They treated my father and me as family. They were able to handle his most complex issues with his dementia which allowed us to have a peace of mind. I would highly recommend Avalon.
