The Avaline at River Oaks delivers two levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—with the clinical depth to serve residents who present with wandering behaviors at any hour, elopement risk, combativeness, complex behavioral issues, or a need for continuous overnight supervision. The nursing team manages wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes protocols that include oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale coverage. Residents under 60 years old or those living with advanced dementia can also be accommodated, allowing families to avoid separate placements as needs evolve.
Care is coordinated by an RN or LPN, with a nurse physically on site 24 hours a day and an additional nurse on call. Staff members remain awake through the night, doors are alarmed, and both pull-cord and PERS systems alert caregivers quickly. A dedicated activity director tailors engagement for all cognitive levels, while podiatry visits and a therapy room bring common clinical services in-house. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the community can handle transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, or a one-person lift.
Apartments are designed for varying needs; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and independent temperature controls, while others focus on streamlined layouts for easier navigation. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided to every resident, maintaining cleanliness and relieving families of routine chores. Because layouts differ, not every unit contains every listed feature, so it is useful to review the exact floor plan during a tour.
Dining operates on an order-as-requested model, and snacks remain available throughout the day and night. Residents may eat in the main dining room, a private dining space for family gatherings, or their own apartment when preferred or medically necessary. The culinary staff supports gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets, ensuring physician-ordered modifications are accurately followed.
Daily life is rounded out by resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, a concierge desk, a library, an art studio, and a game room. Scheduled transportation covers medical appointments, and a shuttle is available for group outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
