Memory Care Communities in Richardson, TX

Avalon Memory Care has gone to great lengths to provide a mode of care that is uniquely tailored to the special needs of the Alzheimers victim. We are concerned with every phase of the residents needs (physical, emotional, and social). We work to restore and support the residents self esteem, dignity, and the resumption of as many of the daily personal tasks of which the resident is capable. Surrounded by family treasures and memories, the residents live in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms in a spacious, ranch style, one level home with built-in security features such as a secured patio and roomy backyard. They bond with and enjoy the companionship of other residents and inevitably form a family feeling that eliminates the loneliness or isolation often experienced in institutional settings. They enjoy luxury accommodations including exquisite furnishings in these fine homes. We provide professional and sensitive care for the physical, emotional, mental, and social needs of our residents. Our care focuses on the safety and well-being of our residents, 24-hours a day. We have many excellent referrals and are licensed by the State of Texas as a small/large Class B Assisted Living with Alzheimer and Related Disorders certification.To learn more about this providers license and review other available state reports, please visit: Texas Long-Term Care Provider Search

"I chose Sunrise of Hillcrest because of the longevity of the staff and the attractive gardens and flowers that the residents have access to. So those were two important things. It's a very pretty place. It's pleasant. The staff, a lot of them have been there for 10, 15 years, so it leaves the impression of a stable environment. Her apartment has one bedroom and one bathroom on the first floor. We had lunch there with my aunt, and the food was very good. They had a nice variety of choices on the menu from which to choose. It was very good. I saw a library, kind of a video room, and a separate eating room that you can reserve for families if you want to have a special event in the facility there. There was a little bistro deli kind of thing where you could get coffee."

"Mom was at Colonial Oaks at Campbell Park for a temporary stay. She was there just for nine days. It was really nice. It was very clean and very nicely kept. It had the kitchen and all the amenities. It had a beauty shop and a movie theater. They offer a lot of different services for the seniors there. They took good care of my mother while she was there. It's assisted living, but she had her own room with nice floors, a nice bathroom, a bed, a TV, and her own refrigerator. They offer church services, and they have singing. They offer three meals a day, and family members can come, like my family members came and went to check on her while she was there. They take you back and forth to doctor's appointments. They had a little space on the outside of her room, which is secure, where you can't get out, and they can walk in the courtyard. They have access to the various areas, like the kitchen and the dining room, if you want to come out of your room and sit and play cards or meet and visit with people. The staff was very, very good. Crystal is one of the nurses there. She was really good and very attentive with my mom. They made sure my mom got everything she needed and the medicines that she had to take. They were very, very nice to her and I was very, very pleased with them. They have maintenance service, dry cleaning service, housekeeping, and laundry service. They have medication and healthcare services. They have oxygen equipment. They have security keys and fire safety. They have storm and tornado preparations. They have television, telephone, and internet services, and transportation shuttles. For what you're getting, it's comparable to what all the other facilities in that vicinity charge."

"My brother-in-law was in here for skilled nursing and he eventually got into assisted living for a short period of time. Overall, the staff was pretty good. The facility was nice. It's spotless. He had a one-bedroom apartment and it was very spacious. They got outdoor seating and that kind of thing."

"I toured Signature Pointe. They have very nice and courteous employees there. The people that live there are very nice and friendly. The whole environment looked very clean and very nice. The apartments were nice and clean. They had a lot of space. They always had something going on which was good. I enjoyed that. They have a nice lake outside. You can see the ducks and all that, so it's very, very nice."

"We went to visit the Avalon - Hughes Circle assisted living facility since we were looking at possibilities for our aunt. The outside grounds were nicely landscaped and well maintained, with lots of beautiful greenery and places to sit. The communal areas were all designed for ease of access with nice furnishings in a comforting setting. There were large areas for both quiet times as well as social interaction with other residents and family and friends. Residents may enjoy a variety of stimulating activities such as games, movies, reading, using the computer, reading, arts and crafts, and private parties. The private living spaces were cozy, warm and still bright with lots of light. Most were personalized according to the resident's tastes. The dining areas were made for both more formal affairs such as holidays and parties, and also casual and more intimate settings. The foods offered included a variety of very healthy, nutritious and delicious options. The snacks were also healthy and are offered regularly - as well as whenever the residents ask for them. There is plenty of physical activity for the residents, from walking along the many paths and outer areas, to enjoying the equipment and classes like yoga and aerobics. The close by metro area offers residents many opportunities to enjoy local events, culture, art, music, fine and casual dining and shopping in the vicinity. The nearby medical facilities offices are close to the highway - making visiting very easy, as well. It was evident to us that the residents really enjoy their living environment and the many benefits to living here -- and are very well treated by the very attentive staff. "

"Brookdale Collin Oaks had everything we needed. It's a good facility, even though it's old. It is neat and clean. The staff are courteous. They have a common area and a restaurant-style kitchen. The staff member was a very nice guy. They have a grill outside and a cookout area where residents can hang around."

"Dad moved to Avalon Memory Care-Royal Circle Dallas. It's a single family home and it is clean. They have rooms for eight residents. The staff seems to be good. They cook the meals for the residents and care for them. My dad seems to like the food. In the living room of the house, they have a TV and my dad watches a TV with a person leading exercises, and he does some simple self exercising there, but anything else, I don't know what that might be. I haven't seen it. It's very limited."

"My sister will be moving into Juniper Village at Preston Hollow. I liked all of them, as far as the people go. I liked this facility. It was located very, very close to the rest of my family. It was important so that my sister could feel like she was close to the family. It's the neighborhood she grew up in. I thought that it was very clean, and the actual room that she got, the little efficiency or studio, I like the way it was laid out. The staff was great. I just thought it was a good fit for her. Her studio wasn't one big room. You walked in and you kind of walked into the living room area. It had to the left a little kitchenette with a microwave and a small refrigerator, but the bedroom part was like a little alcove. So, when you first walked into the room, you couldn't see the bedroom side. Even though it was all open, it didn't feel like when you walked in and saw the bed first thing. I liked that about the room. My sister and my mother had lunch there, and they said it was very good. Every time we've been there, it's been great. They've been very helpful as far as all the administrative details. It in terms of just interacting, they've all been very nice, accessible, friendly, and helpful. It looks clean. People seemed happy there. It's kind of the right size for her."

"I toured Brookdale Lake Highlands. I like the fact that it wasn't like a big facility because I don't need to have him in a big place. The person that I met with, Hailey, took me on a tour. Everything was nice, she explained everything, and then let me know if I had any questions because this was the first time I'd ever done this. Everything seemed great. They're accommodating to everything that I was asking, just certain things to keep my dad in his same routine. She was very informative, nice, and pleasant to talk to. My dad's on a special diet, and he's on a vegan diet. I asked if they could make sure that they were able to just accommodate him. It's not anything like crazy. He just doesn't eat meat, chicken or pork. I said, 'He's happy with scrambled eggs and potatoes every day if you let him. It's pretty simple. He just doesn't eat anything outside of that' and they're like, 'Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.'"

"This tour was extremely helpful with all that was necessary to know in order to make an educated decision with our family for our loved one."

"We have had our mother here for over a year. It's a home atmosphere, and she is very well cared for. We could not be happier. "

"After visiting and researching many senior living homes, we couldn’t have found a better place for my father-in-law. The staff is so kind and caring and the facility is very clean! They are so considerate of his dementia issues and treat him like family. He is very happy and content there!"

"The Avalon - Sparrows Point assisted living facility was recommended by some people we knew in the Plano area. We checked it out as an option for our uncle. It looked like a nice living community with a home-style atmosphere. We could see that the residents there are content and well cared for when we arrived. Each room had nice views with a calming, yet not boring décor featuring lots of fresh air and light. The interior design was nicely ordered and easy to navigate. The private rooms were decorated tastefully with a homey, light and airy atmosphere. Each unit had nice views of the surrounding area. Bathrooms were designed with safety seats and rails. The main dining room had a comfortable and spacious decor. The residents are offered healthy, home-style cooked meals in a casual restaurant setting. The food looked and smelled delicious, as well as healthily prepared. The menus included many interesting dishes, as well as the usual American fare. Snacks are offered regularly throughout the day and whenever desired. The exercise center includes daily yoga and aerobics exercise classes. The equipment is available throughout the day and they also offer instruction on DVD. The many activities include and there is a billiard room. The calendar of events included many stimulating activities like fun ways to exercise with nature walks and the opportunity to enjoy all that Plano and the surrounding areas have to offer. The backyard features many places for seniors to enjoy around the grounds safely. The property also had plenty of park-like space with tranquil, large trees and nicely manicured lawns. Residents can also safely navigate the lovely garden pathways and courtyards. The residents all looked very well taken care of by and seemed content with the kind and caring staff. It is clear that the seniors are enjoying this living environment very much "
