Avalon 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!

They have been in business for about 20 years. They are going above and beyond, and making a good effort to handle the difficult behaviors that go with advanced dementia and Alzheimer's. They don't just send them to a psyche ward the first time things get difficult. It's still new but so far I am pretty pleased with their effort.

My mom moved to Avalon in June after being asked to leave another memory care. The place she was at before only wanted to take care of people who sat all day or would stay in their rooms. My mom is still walking and she wanders. That is one of the reasons we could no longer handle her care at home. When we were looking for a place, the previous memory care just told us stuff they thought we wanted to hear. Once she actually moved in, nothing was like they had promised. That has NOT been the case at Avalon. They go out of their way to pay attention to her specific needs. The staff treat her like family and make us feel so comfortable and welcome. It's been a wonderful experience. I actually feel ok when I leave from visiting knowing that she is in good hands.

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.

We are very glad we chose Avalon for the care of our parents. We appreciate their family atmosphere and attentiveness to my parents individual needs. Carrollton is a brand new facility and the level of activities available is increasing.

They were the best. Michelle and Sue were awesome! Sue was especially amazing when we first got there. Dr. Rivas was awesome too. We didn't end up being here long, but that wasn't because of them. They were amazing.

This is a great place for senior care. The people treat your loved one just like family. When hospice came in to take care of my mom during her last days the faculty gathered around my moms bed and prayed over her and said their good byes. Every one cares so much for your loved one. This place is top rated in my eyes.

So thankful Place for Mom sent us to Avalon ALZHEIMER'S Care. Our intake coordinator saw that my husband needed extra care, and the service we received was just what he needed. Staff was able to handle him during difficult episodes, and was always polite and helpful.

My brother ,who is in early onset , was involuntarily in a horrible facility ,living in terrible conditions. Our search was for cleanliness, friendliness , and professionalism. It was an answer to prayer to discover Sue Boyd and her excellent staff at Avalon in Irving..My brother is now living in a handsome apartment , with excellent support services for food, recreation ,entertainment and treatment. We recommend Avalon highly.

I was told just to pop up and ask for a tour and I did just that. Kia, the house manager was awesome. The place was clean and everyone were so friendly. I moved my dad in and was absolutely pleased of how caring they were. If I had any concerns, I was able to call Kia personally and she was on top of it. My dad spent his final days in a great facility that seem like home. No regrets.

They were great! We moved him from a different place, that hadn't cared for him as well. They did a really good job caring for him. They were really good about getting him up and out of bed. The last place had a difficult time with that.

I've been real pleased so far. The only thing I've been a little concerned about is that the furniture is a little old and worn. I feel real good about her care. They are all very friendly. The food is pretty good, she is eating pretty well. They are able to continue to care for her even if she runs out of money. There is a gentleman that bathes the residents and I think that can be a little uncomfortable for some of the female residents.

I loved Avalon!! For the first time since mom required care she seemed happy. She loved the guy that came into sing. ... She clapped and sang along. She loved to sit in the garden area. She ate well for the first time in forever. The caregivers really cared, no bad apples in the place as you will find in other places. And Jon Seib, the owner, is the most patient and flexible person to do business with. Thanks to all of you at Avalon!

I toured this home along with 2 other Avalon Homes in the nearby area. My wife and I were referred by a couple in our Sunday School class. Their mother has been at Avalon for over 3 years, and they have not had anything but positive things to say. We knew this day would come that we would need to place my mom. Matt with Avalon spoke with me at length before we actually met to tour. During our conversation, he really honed into where my mom was at in the disease process. He toured us in the 3 residential care homes that he thought would be the best fit for mom. At each home, we were greeted with smiles and it just felt like home. What was most impressive was watching the staff interacting with the folks there. There was no desk for staff to be perched behind. The staff were very tuned into the residents. It was also interesting to learn that much of the staff had been there for a long time. That really spoke to me and my wife. You don't see that often. You could just tell that the staff really loved the residents there. They each had their rooms decorated with their own belongings. At all 3 homes, I had the chance to talk to other family and they all had really kind and helpful things to say. Matt has been very helpful in making this difficult decision a little bit easier.

The last 7 years of my mothers life she resided at the Avalon in Irving. During her time there, she was treated like a mother by all of the employees. Every time I visited she was happy, clean and dressed nicely. The times I visited varied from morning to late night and I was always pleased to know she was safe and with people who cared. For an extended period of time she was not totally aware of her surroundings but was always out of her room . At times I would travel for weeks at a time and never did I worry about her; staff took total responsibility for her care. If I ever need a facility hopefully I can reside at Avalon Irving.

My mom moved into Avalon when she had mid stages of dementia. She was diagnosed in her 60's and this was very devastating to our family. Mom was asked to leave 3 other facilities due to agitation before coming to live at Avalon. Once we moved her, it was like a flip of a switch. The staff knew how to work with her and it made all the difference. Mom lived there 8 1/2 years and they cared for my mom all the way until she passed. Abena, one of the care-givers, took care of my mom all those years. My mom was like family and the staff became like family to us. This is such a horrible disease and it is so hard on the family. I can't imagine my mom having been anywhere else but Avalon

My father-in-law has been a resident in Avalon for over a year now. We were so lost when it came to knowing what to do. Dad was living at home and we knew he was not safe but we were so anxious about moving him. The staff helped us step by step through the process. He has been so content and we know that when we leave that his is in good hands. In fact, when we bring him home for the day or out for lunch, he is always anxious to get back "home". The staff are so caring and love him like family.

My dad was at Avalon until he passed away several months ago. His care was amazing and now my mom is living at Avalon. There was a comment made below by a Tim R. I recognized who that must be immediately. You need only to take his so called "opinions" with a grain of salt. I spent a lot of time in the home and knew this family member. He was so completely ungrateful, unappreciative, rude and degrading to the staff and nothing would make him happy. I felt so bad for the girls when he would come in and treat them so badly. I really had to bite my tongue more than once. It's people like that who are so miserable with their own life that they feel like they have to tear everyone apart. I saw his mom daily and saw firsthand how his mother was cared for. The girls adored his mother and he should have been so grateful but he was just rude, hateful and incredibly unprofessional.
