Avalon Memory Care

Placing my wife of 52 years into memory care was the hardest decision of my life, but choosing Avalon Memory Care has brought me comfort and peace during an incredibly emotional journey. From the very beginning, the staff have shown extraordinary compassion, not only toward my wife, but toward me as well. I visit my wife every single day, and each time I walk through the doors, I am welcomed like family. The staff truly know us, care about our story, and treat my wife with dignity, patience, and genuine kindness. Seeing the consistency of care and the respect they show her reassures me that she is exactly where she needs to be. The love, warmth, and support extended to both of us mean more than I can put into words. Avalon Memory Care is more than a place of care—it is a community that honors long marriages, deep bonds, and the people behind the diagnoses. I am deeply grateful for this team and wholeheartedly recommend Avalon to any family facing a similar decision.

As a mother of four, navigating life while also watching my own mom develop early-onset dementia at just 58 has been absolutely heartbreaking and overwhelming. Nothing prepares you for this journey, and at times it has felt impossible to know what the right next step is. The Admissions Nurse at Avalon Memory Care was truly a blessing to our family. She not only provided exceptional clinical insight, but she took the time to patiently educate me, explain what to expect, and answer questions I didn’t even know how to ask. The guidance and understanding she shared went far beyond what we received from my mom’s neurologist, and it made such a difference in helping me feel informed, supported, and less alone. Her compassion, knowledge, and willingness to walk alongside us during such a painful chapter meant more than words can express. I am incredibly grateful for her help and guidance, and for the genuine care shown to both my mom and our family. I highly recommend Avalon Memory Care
