Avalon Memory Care - Meadow Ranch Road

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!

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

A place for mom

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.
