As a loving son or daughter, you naturally want the best of care for your
senior parent. The compassionate
assisted living caregivers at Avalon Memory Care want you to know that while your parent
is living with us, he or she will receive nothing less than respectful,
loving care within our comfortable, safe, and fully-staffed homes. We
invite you to take your time while visiting your loved one here, and please
do let us know if you have any questions about your parent’s memory care.
Visiting Your Parent
Our locations each have private visitation areas for families. There is
also a beautiful sitting area, with plenty of natural light for enjoying
some board games, puzzles, or crafts with your parent. If the weather
permits, you and your parent might also like to relax on the covered decks,
or take a stroll around our gorgeous garden areas. Many families prefer
to visit during the morning or early afternoon hours, as some of our residents
with Alzheimer’s experience sundowning symptoms later in the evening.
Sharing a Meal
Family members are always welcome to share a meal with their loved ones
in our comfortable dining room. Our chef-prepared meals are as delicious
as they are nutritious. You and your parent can enjoy a pleasant conversation
while dining on fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and fish, poultry,
or lean meats.
Bringing Additional Visitors
During the holiday season, families often wish to visit their loved ones
in groups. We have found that individuals receiving Alzheimer’s
support services tend to become overwhelmed easily when overstimulated.
It may be wise to limit the number of visitors to two or three at any
given time.
Bringing Personal Items
Please do feel free to bring personal items to
help your loved one decorate for the holidays. Your aging parent may appreciate the addition of a cheerful
poinsettia in his or her room. You could also bring holiday cookies or
other treats for your parent to enjoy.
Avalon Memory Care is an award-winning program that offers compassionate, loving bedside
care in Dallas, Houston, and Arlington for individuals with Alzheimer’s.
We always welcome families to visit their loved ones at our home-like
locations throughout the region. You can get in touch at (214) 752-7050.
