Possibilities Abound

We understand–an Alzheimer’s or dementia diagnosis has its challenges. Here, we never lose sight of the unique and special individual behind the diagnosis–keeping them safe while offering therapeutic and engaging activities.

Embracing each Day

Your loved one’s day begins with a cheerful greeting from an Addington Place team member as she arrives to help with the morning routine. She opens the curtains and the sunlight comes streaming in.

Looks like a great day for a little gardening, tending to the flowers in our private, enclosed courtyard.

After lunch is the perfect time to enjoy the warm afternoon breezes while relaxing in a comfy chair, coloring, chatting with friends or even enjoying a little snooze.

Every Wednesday is movie night after dinner, and tonight It’s A Wonderful Life is playing on the “big screen.” A grand finale to another day of living well at Addington Place.

Delightful Dining

Conversation and laughter flow freely as your waiter approaches the table with a tray of mouthwatering dishes. A savory aroma wafts through the air as you pick up your fork to dig in with gusto! In our restaurant-style dining hall, family members are always welcome, and mealtimes are a wonderful time to break bread with new friends.

Each resident can choose between the daily special or our current menu with a wide range of options. For memory care residents, picture menus make ordering easy — they can physically see and point to the meal of their choice and enjoy an individualized experience that meets their needs.
