AVALON MEMORY CARE CEDAR PARK

Our dad lived at Avalon for five horrible months. During that time, his dementia seemed to be progressing so rapidly. In the first three months, he went from walking independently, talking, laughing, and engaging, to falling often, becoming wheelchair bound, and barely communicating. We realized his dementia couldn’t possibly be progressing that quickly – something else had to be going on. We put him on the waiting list at a different place. The day we moved him, he was nearly catatonic – he required assistance from two people to stand up, he couldn’t talk, and he was completely unresponsive. The first 48 hours at his new place, they watched him go through withdrawal. From what? Something off the books, because his prescribed medications were tracked by hospice. Within two days away from Avalon, he was walking, talking, and engaging again. Two days. This is a short summary of a volume of documentation we have from his months there. DO NOT entrust this place with your loved one.

Since Cecilia Garza, who goes by Cece, became the new director, the change at this memory care facility has been remarkable. She has truly turned the place around — from hiring a new cook to addressing staffing issues and holding people accountable. The facility and individual rooms are now consistently clean, the food is warm and good, and there is a noticeable sense of care and liveliness throughout the building. Most importantly, the residents are well cared for, and you can feel the difference in the atmosphere. I’m incredibly grateful for the improvements and the leadership Cece has brought.

The decision to place my family member in someone else’s care was a difficult one. The moment I met with Kiley, I was comfortable with my decision. The facility was clean, open floor plan , and the employees all had smiles. They quickly got to know my family member and took the time to account for his preferences, likes and dislikes. Spoke to him by name, always treating him with respect. Of the other facilities I visited, Avalon is hands down the best!

Mom was in the best care I could have ever imagined at Avalon Memory Care. I found this place to be my second home. Several times per week I would look forward to visits and got to know the staff, all the residents and their families. Avalon has a warm, home-like feel, not a cold facility feel. The time and attention the staff gave mom was above and beyond just their job. They loved her like their own mother and made her feel like the queen she was. Thank you Avalon. I will be back to visit soon!

Our family is deeply grateful for the care and compassion shown by Avalon to my great uncle during his time there. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that this facility was more than just a place—it was a community of caring individuals dedicated to their residents' well-being. The staff treated my great uncle with dignity and kindness, ensuring he was comfortable, engaged, and well cared for until the very end. Their understanding of memory care and their patience with residents and families alike truly stood out. They not only supported him but also provided guidance and reassurance to us during a difficult time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Avalon to anyone searching for a memory care facility for their loved one. Their commitment to excellence and genuine compassion makes all the difference. Thank you, Avalon, for everything you did for my great uncle and our family.
