Specialized Dementia Care in a Residential Setting

Recognizing when it’s time for dedicated memory care is crucial for families dealing with the challenges of dementia.

We care about keeping our residents safe and secure while providing a home-like memory care setting. All of our locations are equipped with magnetic door locks and a secure patio and backyard. Residents live in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms in a spacious, home-like environment.

Family Environment

Our boutique-style homes are kept intentionally small, fostering a “family feeling” among our residents and increasing quality of care.

Specialized Alzheimer’s Care in Safe and Supportive Homes

Avalon Memory Care has gone to great lengths to provide a model of care that is uniquely tailored to the special needs of individuals experiencing Alzheimer’s. We are concerned with every phase of the resident’s needs (physical, emotional, and social). We work to restore and support the resident’s self-esteem, dignity and the resumption of as many of the daily personal tasks of which the resident is capable. Surrounded by family treasures and memories, the community members live in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms in a spacious one-level home with built-in security features such as a secured patio and roomy backyard. They bond with and enjoy the companionship of other community members and inevitably form a “family feeling” that eliminates the loneliness or isolation often experienced in institutional settings.
