Our Memory Care Mission

Avalon is dedicated to enhancing quality of life and preserving dignity while meeting health, social, spiritual, and emotional needs of those with Alzheimer's and other age-related dementias. Our staff demonstrates leadership and creativity through our innovative person-centered programs. We collaborate with family members, health professionals, and the community in supporting cutting-edge research to expedite the day when we may live in an Alzheimer's-free world.

Person-Centered Service

Despite the progressive nature of Alzheimer's and other dementias, a person's independence, ability to function, and quality of life may be improved through the person-centered service approach. The specialized programs, designed and implemented by the Life Enrichment Team, include development of individual 'Life Stories,' creative assistance techniques, methods of intervention that significantly reduce problem behaviors, and a special physical environment that promotes optimum functioning and meaningful "moments of joy."
