Avalon Memory Care feat. Ray Atkinson

Hi everyone and welcome to the second episode of the Elder Home Buyers Podcast! I’m your host, Allyson Carter, and we’re talking about everything to do with Elder Care, and how to make the transition from Home to Elder Care with ease. Today I had the amazing opportunity to interview Ray Atkinson from Avalon Memory Care here in #cedarpark. We sat down and talked about so many different aspects of care when memory becomes a new factor during elderly care. Avalon Memory Care has pioneered a unique model of care that is tailored to the individual special needs of those affected with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and cognitive impairments in a safe and secure environment. Our comprehensive philosophy of care means that we attend to the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of each resident to ensure they achieve their full quality of life potential with individualized daily routines. Avalon Memory Care was founded in 1995 by Richard Seib and Dr. Dan Griff. Richard was involved in a ministry that reached out to the elderly population at their local church. As he was visiting nursing homes he recognized how ill equipped these facilities were to take care of patients that suffered from declining dementia and Alzheimer’s. Instead of focusing on just the medical care, Richard wanted to see a more palliative and home-styled approach that focused on the residents’ overall well-being and quality of life. Soon Avalon Memory Care was established to meet these needs and to provide a new level of compassionate care. We are considered to be one of the first and best memory care homes in Texas.
