Your loved one’s day begins with a cheerful greeting as an Addington Place team member 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 the garden.

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, and this time It’s A Wonderful Life is playing on the “big screen.” A grand finale to another day of living well at Addington Place.
