Avalon Memory Care - 7140

Make sure they have sufficient staff and when you visit, make sure to talk with the staff and see that the patients look comfortable in the main room.

It's a nice facility. The salesperson we worked with is great. The staff sometimes seems distant and not as friendly as I hope for. Still glad we picked this place, It's just not perfect. I would recommend to others.

I never knew such a facility existed. My cousin had profound physical needs and also needed memory care. The place was Much better than a nursing home for him. He died in November By the way but he was settling in nicely. He was not ambulatory but they still were able to move him around and keep him part of the "action" at the place. He was very afraid of being ignored and left alone but they just didn't let that happen. They were very kind. I would tell anyone to choose their group home approach over a nursing home any day.

Make sure you understand everything from the community before putting your loved one in this community, the staff is unskilled for the memory care residents.

Avalon Memory care is a clean community we do not have any issues there and every time we come to visit everyone is so nice - the friendliness is superb. Our loved one absolutely hates the meals, a lot of it is casserole based so there are no really like fresh vegetables, salads or fruits. A lot of the residents are pretty far into their dementia so we do not really see many activities going on. The value for the money is right on point and right in the middle comparing to other communities in the area. For us we would not recommend, but the house mom is great, she is great with communication and we are comfortable with our loved one being there and knowing they are safe.

Good community for your loved one. The management may need to be checked on every now and then. They have activities like kareoke, cards, dominoes, and entertainment brought in to sing and also bowling.

I would recommend this community to others for their loved ones. My loved one was only there for here days prior to passing. Even before my loved one was admitted to the community, [name removed], were fantastic in assisting us in making it a smooth transition from the hospital to the community and the care that was needed for my loved one. Avalon was accommodating to assist us in allowing us to visit our loved one during their transition with hospice. They made us feel like we had been there forever and took the time to explain how to handle the transition from the prior community to Avalon and what to expect.

They've not been really forthcoming in letting me know when things happen, like bruises or falls. They didn't let me know that my loved one was having issues and not sounding like herself, which was evident when I talked to her directly. I ended up having a call with the nurse practitioner, and we came up with a plan. I requested a lab, and it still hadn't been done nor had the nurse practitioner been by to see my loved one several days later. With the elderly, that type of thing can be deadly. Consistently when I go in, there's no pillow cases or top sheet on the bed. I went to see her before bedtime and they hadn't put her night gown on when they put her to bed. They don't put her shoes on. That's not what I would wish for her. Her shampoo, body wash, hand soap, and toothpaste have all disappeared, and I have no idea what's happened to them. There's never any toilet paper, tissues, towels or washcloths in the room. The staff all seem really nice, it's a clean and beautiful facility, and my loved one seems to like it there. But I'm not real pleased with the care that she's getting.

During his time here, I appreciated a couple of the staff members that I worked closely with, they were very helpful and always answered any questions that I had. I was only allowed inside the facility one time so anything else is hard to judge.

We just found that the staff were so attentive , so caring, and they were just great. The food looked great and smelled good. We chose this community because we were referred to it by A Place For Mom. I would recommend this community to other families as well.

Many thanks to the hard workers at Avalon Memory Care Arlington! From the beginning they helped me with my brothers care, and even transportation! They always answer and help me right away and I am sure they have many there but they always come through!
