Avalon Memory Care – Arlington 7200 focuses exclusively on Memory Care and is structured to manage a wide spectrum of dementia-related medical issues. The team is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, attempt elopement, remain up all night, or require wound care, oxygen therapy, and physician-ordered special diets. Diabetes is supported across all treatment modalities—oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale coverage—and the residence accepts individuals under 60 who need memory support. Staff training and the community’s layout allow the program to serve people living with advanced dementia without requiring outside transfer as their condition progresses.
Clinical resources are reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, a 24-hour nurse on call, awake night-shift caregivers, and round-the-clock security personnel. Residents have on-site access to occupational, physical, and speech therapy, medication management, hospice coordination, podiatry, dentistry, and comprehensive continence and ambulatory services. Direct assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting at the full-assistance level. Mobility support spans standby supervision with a walker or wheelchair, one- and two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift use, and ongoing care for bed-bound individuals, allowing the community to accept a wide range of physical abilities.
Accommodations are air-conditioned and handicap accessible, with some units featuring wheelchair-accessible showers, in-unit washers and dryers, and secure outdoor access. Skynet technology and an electronic medication administration record help staff monitor each resident’s status in real time. Not every residence includes every listed feature, so families should confirm specific room configurations when they visit.
Dining follows a set menu designed to meet general nutrition guidelines while accommodating physician-ordered diets, modified textures, or carbohydrate limits for diabetic management. Caregivers provide cueing, setup, or total feeding assistance when needed, and intake is documented so that nursing staff can adjust meal plans promptly if weight or hydration concerns arise.
Community-wide wheelchair accessibility and internet access are standard, enabling residents to move throughout the building safely and maintain online communication with family members or healthcare providers.
