Avalon House on Dominion Crest is a memory-care community that places medical support at the forefront of its services. The staff is trained to monitor residents with diabetes, administer insulin or other medications as ordered, and coordinate with physicians to adjust care plans when needed. Regular blood-glucose checks, prompt response to any fluctuations, and detailed record-keeping are standard procedures aimed at minimizing complications and hospital visits.
Beyond diabetes management, the community delivers round-the-clock supervision tailored to the needs of individuals living with cognitive decline. Team members assist with activities of daily living, manage medications, and maintain a secure environment designed to reduce wandering risk. Care plans are reviewed routinely and adjusted in consultation with families and health professionals to ensure that each resident receives the appropriate level of support.
Apartments are offered in a mix of layouts, and not every unit includes every feature. Some rooms include air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, or traditional bath tubs, while others provide standard configurations. Residents have access to outdoor and indoor common areas, Wi-Fi, and limited parking for those who still drive. Staff can help prospective residents understand which units match their mobility and comfort requirements.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with snacks available as needed. The kitchen accommodates vegetarian, low-sodium, no-sugar, and gluten-free diets, supporting the specific needs of residents with diabetes as well as other dietary restrictions. Menu rotation and portion control are overseen by caregivers to ensure proper nutrition and glycemic balance for each resident.
Residents can take part in on-site activities designed to maintain engagement and routine, and the community celebrates birthdays to recognize individual milestones. These structured programs aim to support social interaction, cognitive stimulation, and a predictable daily schedule for all participants.
