The Staff treats you like family. Depending on her needs, she moved from one room to another because her wheelchair wouldn't fit in the bathroom door.

Avalon Memory Care - McKinney Ranch Parkway

At AVALON, we set ourselves apart from other residences with the level of care and compassion we show to our residents. Our care is unique in that we treat our residents as people with individual needs rather than grouping them as 'those with dementia.' After all, a lack of cognitive ability doesn't equate to a lack of individual personality. It is important to remember that we are guests in their home.

Save yourself and your loved one the pain and headache and keep looking. This place is NOT what it may seem in photos

My mother was at this facility from [date removed] through mid-[date removed] The level of care, cleanliness and overall compassion severely declined. Mom would often be in soiled diapers at noon, still in bed when I would come visit. Her wet sheets from the night before would often be covered up with a blanket and remain soiled, causing a stench in the room. Gnats would fly around her trash can in the bathroom. Feces would remain on the floor in the shower for up to a week! This is not an exaggeration and I am SOOO happy I moved her. She is now getting the love and care she needs and my stomach hurts to even think about her still being at Avalon McKinney Ranch. When we left, a new director was taking over. Said she would turn it around. From what I hear, she’s no longer there. This place went downhill in a very bad way the last year we were there. The staff would even smoke weed in the office and bring their children to work. Praise God we got OUT. Skip this place and KEEP LOOKING!

Personal Touches for Every Resident

The place itself is well-maintained, very clean, and always welcoming. Periodically decorations appear and the facility is transformed to reflect the season or holiday. Efforts are made to entertain and engage residents in various activities including therapy for those that are capable. The staff members make a concerted effort to make all the residents feel welcomed and respected. Being local I visit daily and can say without reservation that this was the best placement for my mom. In fact, it was her decision to be there and I cannot be more pleased with her choice. The caregivers are such a blessing to all the residents. God Bless them and the entire staff for such outstanding quality care.

Outstanding Environment and Support for Loved Ones

Very warm and dedicated staff, and clean and beautiful facilities. Plenty of activities for the residents, and an easy and accommodating process for our visits there. My mom was always happy there, whenever we visited her, she was assuring us that we couldn’t find a better place for her, she loved everything about this place.

Heartfelt Care

This was an absolutely wonderful and perfect place for my grandma. I can't express how appreciative my whole family is for the heartfelt care, and the incredible staff, the care gave my dear grandma. God Bless all at Avalon Memory Care who were caring for my mother-in-law, we appreciate all of you, and we will have all of you in our prayers.

Exceptional Care and Support

We are delighted with the facility of Avalon Memory Care. We just placed Grandma in a room with them and couldn't be happier. It is clean and well-lit, and everyone greets us, down to the folks who clean up. The staff has been very helpful in this time with us as we were divided as a family as to how to make the transition. They are caring and knowledgeable about all aspects of the transfer, especially since the five of us kids were not in agreement with one another. Their activities are well done and helpful to the residents. Their policies helped to create an atmosphere that was the most accommodating, even as Grandma did not initially want to go. She is finding them caring and dedicated. When there is a concern, they respond immediately to us. They make every effort to help us feel comfortable with her being there.

Well Trained and Friendly

After considering other assisted living facilities, we moved our 93-year-old parent to Avalon Memory Care. [names removed] and all of the staff are so warm and caring. They are well-trained and friendly, particularly the front desk which keeps track of residents and visitors. The large living room on the first floor near the dining room and cafe is ideal because it feels like people are busy living. The beautiful backyard is welcoming. They really encourage families to visit by planning family-friendly events.

Recommend them Highly!

I couldn't found a better place for my dad. They were kind and loving to him always. His needs were taken of completely during his time there. I could not recommend them any more highly! This was a great place!

Wonderful Company

My mom recently passed after spending 6 years at Avalon Memory Care at McKinney Ranch, McKinney, TX. The folks at Avalon have always been wonderful to my mom. She was in a safe and loving environment. I would highly recommend Avalon to anyone.

Great Care/Awesome Staff

Since the new management took over, the improvements at Avalon Memory Care have been remarkable. The facility now feels like a second home, especially thanks to the incredible caregivers, Gabriel and Raymundo. Their kindness, love, and genuine care for the patients are evident in everything they do. They treat each resident as if they were their own grandparents, creating an environment of warmth and compassion that is truly unique. Gabriel and Raymundo's dedication makes Avalon Memory Care stand out as an exceptional memory care facility. Highly recommended!

Not enough caretakers/need and maid! dirty

There are not enough caretakers for the # of residents for #1! The ones there have to cook, clean, give care! We all pay enough to have a dedicated cook that cleans also. Hire a cook/maid for goodness sakes! The care takers there are overworked! Your mngt let 2 (both) overnight caretakers go on vacation for one month with no logical plan. Your owners /mgnt seem more worried about lining your own pockets then having a decent team! [name removed]is the hardest workers and she is 65! [name removed] is loud and does nothing but cooks decent but [name removed] has no help when its just those two.

2 visits to visit my I mom (94)

Great experience! For me I was able to spend quality time with her. Ladies working make sure my visit was good. They were very friendly and very busy with all residents. Very impressive. They make sure the residents are well treated, given attention, and they are always available for the needs of the residents. The care takers were able to balance their care for the residents and answer any questions I had.

A memory care facility that feels more like home

A father has been a resident for over a year now. He is very well taken care of by the staff. Our family feels the staff is loving and kind. We wish the facility could have an on site chat for meals so the care takers can focus on care on care only. The meadow Ranch site is on a beautiful serche setting with a tree line view. Feels like home.

Run

Please don’t put your love ones here. They are clueless. They can’t answer question because they need someone else to talk from them. The food is terrible it’s not fit for a dog to eat. The floors are dirty.

kind, helpful workers in a family environment

The people that work there were wonderful. Super helpful and friendly. There wasn't really anything for the residents to do except watch tv. I'm understand that the workers were doing absolutely everything to keep the place going so there wasn't really time for activities My mom is no longer there because there just wasn't anyone she could talk to. The other ladies that could still communicate had their own delusions and would tell my mom stuff and get her scared. It just wasn't a good situation for her. Avalon was good and I don't have anything bad to say about it. It just wasn't a good fit for my mom's needs

Just to research and observe all communities that you have interest in for the right fit. Ask a lot of questions and talk to other families that have residents who are already there....

They’re Part of Our Family

The staff at Avalon are true blessings. We drop in at random times throughout the work to see our father and he is always up, showered, dressed and around the other residents watching TV. Their center is clean and well-cared for. This is an amazing place!!

My tour review

I was less than impressed with this community. It seemed very dark and there were no activities going on. I also seen only two staff while I was there. The visiting options were also only in the residents room while visiting due to covid but I wanted to be able to go other places in the community with my loved one.
