Avalon Memory Care - Houston

Avalon Memory Care - Houston is a handsome assisted living community in Houston, Texas. It is within colorful Harris County which is part of the Lone Star State.

Avalon brings its national award-winning care in the treatment of those afflicted with a short term memory loss to provide the highest quality of life possible. These smaller environments allow for better care provided by happier staff members, quality meals, and an activity schedule that can be customized for the benefit of each and every resident. 

Residents with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive impairments deserve a model of care that’s uniquely tailored to their special needs. At Avalon Memory Care, we strive to achieve excellence in memory care for your loved one by focusing on each individual’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
