Avalon Memory Care – Allen is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, offering a structured environment for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The community provides focused support that includes diabetes management overseen by licensed nurses, regular physician visits, and access to speech therapy for communication or swallowing issues. Short-term respite stays are available, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive specialized memory support. Every aspect of care is built around preserving dignity and maximizing daily function for residents with cognitive decline.
Additional medical resources are delivered on site, reducing the need for disruptive outside appointments. Residents have access to dental and podiatry services, optometry, occupational and physical therapy, and hospice care when needed. Medication management is handled by trained staff, and incontinence and ambulatory care are available to address changing health conditions. The property is a secured community designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, with controlled entries and exits and 24-hour staffing for constant oversight.
Living arrangements include private and semi-private rooms in a single-story setting that is fully air-conditioned and handicap accessible. Many units feature wheelchair-accessible showers, and some have direct access to outdoor areas or gardens. Parking is available for visiting family members. While the campus offers several accessibility and comfort features, not every accommodation includes every listed element, so families should confirm specific room details during a tour.
Dining is structured but flexible, with all-day service so residents can eat on their own schedule. Three chef-prepared meals are provided daily, and menus support low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diets. Guest meals can be arranged for visiting family and friends. The culinary team works with nursing staff to monitor nutrition and hydration, adjusting textures or portion sizes as needed for residents with swallowing or weight-management concerns.
Residents have access to a variety of programs and spaces designed to keep them active and engaged. The activity center hosts arts and crafts, birthday celebrations, and reminiscence programs tailored to memory care needs. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, sensory-based activities, and an outdoor garden encourage safe movement throughout the day. A library and computer lounge supports quiet time or small group clubs and community gatherings, while scheduled social outings extend engagement beyond the campus.
