Avalon Memory Care

When I worked here, I was bullied by coworkers since April 23rd-July 2nd. And the Assistant Manger name JJ was very unprofessional, every time I ask a question he was short with me & had attitudes. But when it came to other employees he would talk to them the whole day. The welcoming of starting this job was terrible, they knew about the problem but didnt address it. I was forced to quit because I was being judged about my work ethics.... they would say I didnt do something properly on the days that I was off. The work environment was suffocating do to the fact I couldnt Voice my opinion on how I felt because it is a family business.

We loved having my brother stay in this wonderful facility. The staff were exceptional. Hospice was on site to help him through the last days of his life. The Avalon business office really helped us because they allowed my brother to become a resident when we brought him down from Washington and waited for payment until I was able to sell his house.

If you are reading this you must have a loved one whom you care about very much as I did. My new year started out looking for a memory care facility for my Dad because like most everyone who has a loved one with dementia he was getting a bit hard to handle . Avalon in there add says they provide the highest quality of life possible and that they offer better care provided by happier staff.If that is true then why weren't they watching my dad the evening he fell ? My dad's name is Kenneth Walcott and we moved him into Avalon on the 6th of January and on the 9th he fell .,On the 13th he died........When my dad fell on the 9th in the evening it took Avalon till the 10th, at 11.17pm 24 hours to get a xray machine to xray and tell us what we were sure happened and that was a broken hip. On the 10th when we got the results we moved my dad to Mansfield Methodist Hospital were he passed away on the 13th. So if you are tossing around the idea of which would be best for your love one.... keeping them home and hiring a 24 hour in home care giver or sending them to Avalon.... After my experience with Avalon and my Dad I would say Keep your love one close to you!!! Lets face it for 5,000 dollars a month you could hire a private nurse 24 hours. One more thing please be sure to read contract very close ....they charged us 3.587.50 for 4 days !! they charged for 7 more days of stay after he was dead . Its in the contract that they will do this.

I just want to take a minute to thank and recognize the most caring and amazing folks at Avalon Memory Care in Arlington. Our dad suffered from Alzheimers and Dementia for the last year and a half of his life. Avalon was truly a God Send for our dad and us. From initially meeting Michell, then NaeNae, Missy, Abeana (mama), JJ, Kim, Patricia, Lexi and Nurse Karen. these care-givers were so patient with dad. They did their absolute best to care for him and meet his needs. This wonderful group of people will always have a special place in my heart. When dad died, Abeana and Missy even came to his service. Thank you Avalon team! This is a great place to care for your memory impaired loved one.

Fourteen months ago it became apparent, after being diagnosed with Alzheimers and having had a hip replacement, that we would need to find a care facility for our dad. After visiting several places, we chose Avalon. That was the best decision we ever made! Though dad was often very difficult, the caregivers continued to love him as their own father/grandfather. Not only did he receive excellent care and attention, but our family was cared for as well. One week ago today, dad had a neurological event which caused him to decline very rapidly. My heart was touched and I was brought to tears as I watched caregiver after caregiver quietly walk into his room, gently touch or kiss his forehead or cheek, and speak loving words over him. He passed away yesterday having been well loved by his Avalon family. I cannot recommend Avalon highly enough.
