Avalon is pleased to announce its 14th location! Being the largest provider of Alzheimer/dementia care in the Metroplex, we will continue to provide for the highest quality of care for our residents.

Our Family's Experience

The absolute best thing is the director [name removed] and the main caregiver, [name removed]. They are truly angels on earth. The other things I like are the location (super quiet at the end of a nice residential street) and the small size which makes it manageable for residents with memory issues and makes it nice to meet other residents and families.

Family-Oriented Care

When you walk into Avalon you can tell that the staff and management really care about the residents. It's a smaller community so they treat everyone as if they are family. They take the time to learn about each resident's needs and they tailor the care to each individual resident. Not only do they tailor the care but they also go out of their way to make sure each and every family member feels welcomed when they walk in.

Loving Caregivers

My husband receives the most loving and attentive care every single day. His unique needs are always met with compassion and consideration. Avalon makes certain that every special request he has is honored with the utmost importance and respect. The commitment to his well-being is unwavering by the staff, ensuring he feels supported, valued, and cared for in every way possible.

Compassionate Care

The caretakers at Avalon kept us well-informed and were very kind to our family member. A friend recommended Avalon to us and I would whole-heartedly do the same for any family looking for a caring and competent facility for anyone needing memory care.

Exceptional Care and Compassion

Avalon is made up of incredible angels who have hidden wings. We brought our father here after a horrible experience elsewhere and we cannot say enough amazing things about the staff at Avalon. They have not only connected with our dad, but most of them even know us (his family) by name! When we arrive to see our father, unless it’s very early or bedtime, they have already gotten him out of bed, showered, dressed and sitting in the TV area with a lot of other residents who are hanging out, watching TV or visiting. Also if you take a walk down the hallways where the rooms are you’ll find most rooms to be picked up, clean and beds made. Our father is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s so we know he’s not ‘there’ but the staff at Avalon still treat him like a respected individual who still matters. He may not know much of what’s going on but I can’t begin to tell you what it does to our hearts to see the unbelievable care the team at Avalon shows him and us.

Hard working staff with too much to do

The facility is a converted older, one level home on 3 acres so very nice setting. The 2 caregivers per shift work hard to keep residents clean and fed and individualize the care as much as possible. They (the 2 caregivers) are also responsible for all of laundry, cooking all meals, showers for residents, cleaning their rooms as well as rest of house giving and tracking medications. It's too much for 2 people to do.

My loved one was previously a resident at Avalon Memory Care Meadow Ranch Road and overall my loved one's experience at this facility was poor. This facility is a terrible place staffed with one terrible person and several other slightly less terrible people. On my loved one's second to last day at this facility, he asked me if we were in hell. That sums up our experience with Avalon. I would not recommend Avalon Memory Care Meadow Ranch Road to anyone!

Disappointed

We picked this community, because of the name and longevity of the staff. I was not happy with the care there, I would not recommend them to a friend or family member. They just did not take very good care of my mom, she didn't feel safe there.

Overall Disappointed

My mother was unable to walk or speak very well, which affected the care she received. She was adamant to me that she didn't feel they handled her in a way that she was safe or well cared for. And based on what I observed myself, I agreed. With how dissatisfied she was, it was disappointing that they would not waive any of the fees we had paid (we were were only there for 30 days), and they told us they could not do so because we had worked with A Place for Mom, which should not have been a factor.

My Tour Experience

My tour here was horrible. When I arrived, there were no staff around, and one of the residents opened the door. That’s how bad it was. It could have been just one of those days, but there’s supposed to be two people taking care of the residents. They were there somewhere way in the back. I would not want my loved one to be answering the door like that.

A great decision!

Avalon has really been there for my family. The food is homemade. The staff is present and attentive. The director showed up to the hospital when my dad was sick (unrelated to Avalon) and stayed until all was well. My father does well here. It is low stress and relaxed. It does not feel institutionalized or like a mental ward. I am very pleased

Great memory care

Things have gone very well at Avalon Memory Care. The staff here really know and understand how to handle residents with Alzheimer's disease or memory issues. They're very calm and patient, and know how to redirect them and calm them down if they start to have an issue. The facility itself is beautiful and clean, and the staff are all very friendly and personable and know me by name!

I am so Greatful

I am so Greatful to find a facility that is able to deal with the the special needs of my dad. After moving him into a facility, he became combative. So we had to find another facility that specialized in combativeness. I was very fortunate to find Avalon Memory care, who has accepted my dad as a resident. This is a professional home that really cares for its patients, and they have been extremely helpful with our families issues. I would recommend Avalon Memory Care to anyone who is having difficulty placing their loved ones.

The good, the bad, and the not-so-ugly.

My aunt stayed her last few months at Avalon. It's a beautiful home, and the staff was friendly, although their accents were so strong that it made communication sometimes difficult. The two biggest issues I had were that it was not really wheelchair friendly, and that because of her immobility, she was pretty much just left sitting in a chair in a corner by herself ALL the time. I also think that it would have been more appropriate for them to have two staffers on hand at night. She had sores on her backside, possibly from her sitting in one place a lot. However, on the plus side, It did seem that most of the residence (who were still mobile) fared well. The place was kept very clean, the residents ate at a table "family style", were given home cooked meals, occasional snacks (ice cream!) and didn't force my aunt to eat pureed food like other facilities. They took their time and helped her to eat real food, and would allow her to drink unthickened drinks with supervision.

Best fit for our situation

We chose Avalon because of its location; it made it very convenient for our family. It provides a much more open feel to it and was just the best fit for our situation. We are very pleased with our choice and would recommend it to anyone.

This RCH was nice. "Out in the country" feeling. Liked the director a lot; was easy to talk to. His facility was nice but seemed a bit crowded. Lots of patients in the smallish living room; one a hospice patient. Some of the patients were roaming; many were quiet. There were a couple of men there-one a former car salesman. The facility seemed clean. Two African cooks in kitchen-very friendly. Large backyard area.
