Avalon Memory Care

I wish we had known about Avalon Memory Care sooner in dad's illness. We were just so scared to make the wrong decision and had heard horror stories of people getting really bad care. The Admissions Nurse really made us feel so comforted. She met with us multiple times, came out to the house and just walked us through, step by step. The staff came along beside our family in a big way and not only made dad feel at home, but made us feel a sense of peace. They became part of our family. We will always be so grateful to Avalon.

My wife with diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 10 years ago and then developed Lewy Body Dementia. It was so difficult for our family to watch our beloved wife, mother and grandmother decline. When the time came to get help in caring for her, we began our search and landed with Avalon Memory Care in Arlington. Their staff has been there forever and we could just feel the love from the first time we walked in the door. They understand Lewy Body Dementia, and not all placed do. We are so appreciative of the excellent care they give Shirley. Our family highly recommends Avalon.

We moved our mom in to Avalon Arlington [date removed]. Mom had been at another memory care and the staffing kept changing and we did not ever get good communication when something came up. I am so glad we decided to move her. They made the transition smooth. The management staff as well as most of the caregivers, have been there for years. They are easy to get hold of and we feel so comfortable now.

This is a nice facility. Big open living room where the residence all gather to watch TV. They all look so content. [name removed] and all of the staff were so friendly every single time I interacted with them. Very helpful. Everything was always clean. I can recommend this facility and there staff wholeheartedly.

The place was always clean. The staff was very friendly and kept me informed. The manager could not have been any better. She was remarkable. [name removed] was the manager name. Quite amazing.

A little over 8 years ago, we moved our mom into Avalon in Arlington. She had really good care, and they took care of mom until she passed away. We did not expect, fast forward 8 years, that we would need to place my sister in Memory Care. She is much younger than my mother was when she developed Dementia. This was very unexpected and difficult for my family. My sister was so vibrant and full of energy. When the time came and we couldn't take care of her at home, we knew the only place to call was Avalon. What is incredible, is the same lady that moved in my mom was still there and helped us with every detail of moving in my sister. Also, the majority of the staff that cared for my mom, was still there. I was shocked, but so grateful. Seeing these same familiar faces again, made this difficult process, so much easier.

My father was a resident here for a little over 2 years. Th same staff took care of him the entire time. I loved the consistency and getting to know the staff. They really knew my dad and loved him. As he declined over the years, they adjusted care to his needs. He was able to pass away peacefully on hospice, with our family by his side. Avalon was so supportive of my brother and I. We are so thankful.

We moved my father-in-law into Avalon Keller several months ago. We moved him out of another memory care that sold us on things that never happened. I wish we had found Avalon sooner, but we are so thankful that he is there now getting wonderful care.

My dad had a stroke a few months ago that left him with weakness, inability to communicate and confusion. He had started having memory issues before his stroke, but he was still managing at home. We were told at the hospital to find a nursing home, but we are so glad that we looked for other options. Avalon staff has been so good to my dad. They show genuine care for him and many of them have been with Avalon a very long time.

Our family went through a devastating life change when our mother had an unexpected brain bleed. She was left with cognitive issues and the inability to walk or care for herself. The doctor told us that we needed to looked at a nursing home. When we looked at a few of these facilities, we knew this was not the place we could trust with her care. We are so thankful to Avalon, for the amazing care they gave to our mother. Their staff have been there for a long time and they are very loving and dedicated to the people they care for.

My father developed dementia and spent the last year and a half of his life at Avalon Lewisville. He was comfortable, enjoyed the place, had very good meals, and was surrounded by friendly and attentive staff. The team at Avalon took great care of my father’s needs, provided comfort, and were excellent at communicating with me as well.

I took care of my mother during her illness of Alzheimer’s for about 7 years before it became apparent she needed more help than I could give. The hardest decision is to have to place a loved one into the care of someone else. I found Avalon Memory Care and after much deliberation and thought, we moved my mom into the memory care home. The home and it’s staff helped my mom transition into her new normal and allowed her to be as active as she could possibly be. As the disease continued they adjusted their care to meet her needs. In the final two years she was on Hospice. The staff worked closely with Hospice and myself in the end of life care for my mom. I never felt my mom’s best interest was not at the forefront of every decision we had to make. She passed peacefully in the home.The staff comforted my family and cried with us as they had grown close to her during those years. I am so thankful Avalon came into our life at a time we desperately needed them.

I moved my husband into another memory care in the area. They assured me that they could handle my husband's behaviors and care. He has advanced Parkinson and Lewy Body Dementia. His hallucinations can be bad and it really takes someone that understands this to care for him. Avalon was a God-send. I am so grateful that they quickly came to our rescue.

We moved my dad in last year and we have been very pleased with his care. We also really like the Nurse Practitioner that sees dad at Avalon. We had to make a move from another memory care that went out of business and Avalon made this transition very easy not only for dad, but also our family.

Avalon Memory Care took wonderful care of both my Mom (2.5 years) and Dad (1.5 years) suffering from Alzheimer's. I cannot say enough good things about the facility in Allen, Texas, but most importantly the staff working there day in and day out. They are truly Angels on Earth caring for and attending to my parents, as well as, all the other residents. It was a hard decision to remove my parents from their home, but the nice, always friendly faces at Avalon Memory Care of Allen helped ease that transition and feelings of guilt I had doing it. It was the best for them and to keep them from harm. I will be forever grateful to Avalon for providing a safe place for my parents near the end of their lives and I highly recommend Avalon. A truly great place and inspiring people.

Avalon Memory Care went above and beyond for my Dad. My father was a resident at Avalon in FW off of Boat Club Rd. The staff was amazing. They were respectful, kind, and attentive to my father and his needs. I will forever be grateful to them for the care they provided in his last days. Thank you, Avalon, for all of your knowledge and care.

My husband received the best care at Avalon Memory Care in Allen. From the minute his sister and I walked in the door to visit, we were greeted by [name removed] and [name removed]. After many questions and answers, our family felt this was the best placement for him. We were so afraid about the decision process but these two ladies made us feel confident we had made the right decision. After a week of adjusts on everyones part, my husband seemed happy to be there. The staff was so caring, compassionate, and treated him with respect!!!! They learned his likes and dislikes and helped him in every way. I visited every other day when I could and he never complained. He even called them "his family" at one point. For me, his wife, they educated me, counseled me on him, what to expect, how to talk to him, and how to love him the way he was!!!! I recommend this place so highly. God blessed this staff with special gifts in treating patients of this type.

Avalon was an absolutely fantastic place for my brother [name removed]!

Dad really liked this place. The staff was so kind and communicated with us very well. We transported him here from out of state and the staff was extremely helpful in explaning everything and helping me figure out what to do. They were so kind and I never saw them lose patience even though he could be quite challenging. During the course of his illness he had stayed in several different places and this was the only one that he liked.

My husband was a resident a the Keller location for 2 years before he passed away. They were kind, thoughtful and attentive. This truly became his home. I am grateful for the care they provided him.
