Dedicated Memory Care Community

Our Memory Care Community provides around the clock supervision and monitoring within a secure environment. Our compassionate trained staff works with each Resident and their family to create an environment where our Residents can succeed and thrive while maintaining as much familiarity as possible.

We at Avonlea Cottage of Dixon want to assist families with their loved ones so that they can rest, relax and enjoy peace of mind knowing their loved ones are receiving the best care from friendly, qualified staff.

Memory Care is a unique residence where people in the early to middle stages of Alzheimer's Disease and related memory-impairing issues can enjoy a renewed sense of normalcy. By focusing on each resident as an individual, we customize a plan of care to balance and promote choices, dignity, assistance and involvement with activities, family and friends.

Our program has been designed to ensure the highest quality of life for the dementia resident through our approach of providing assistance and support in a structured environment. Our residents and their families realize that life after diagnosis is still rich and rewarding.
