Your loved one is in good hands here. Families can be families again when our dedicated team handles the care.
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.
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.
Keeping mind, body, and senses active with close and careful supervision, your loved ones can live and enjoy each day to the fullest!
Addington Place takes the time to get to know your family and your loved one’s unique story–their past life accomplishments, present-day challenges, their hopes and dreams for the future.
Along with the support of daily living activities and reminders, we offer a suite of programs designed to help seniors maintain their cognitive function and physical capabilities, while having fun and staying socially involved. These include:
A reassuring touch on the arm, a warm and welcoming smile, the soothing sound of a familiar voice—social involvement has been shown to improve quality of life for seniors with cognitive impairment by reducing anxiety and giving structure to their day.
Addington Place’s daily schedule of group activities and programs brings people together in a stimulating and sociable environment. One-on-one interactions with our devoted, compassionate Memory Care staff are sure to brighten your loved one’s day as well.
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.
When it comes to the safety of your loved one in Memory Care, you can rest assured that Addington Place is prepared and equipped to provide the best environment for them.
As we serve with an individualized approach to honoring each resident’s unique needs, we begin with proper caregiver-to-resident ratios in order to ensure meaningful attention for them.
Secured entrances and exits, well-lit apartments and common areas, accommodations for accessibility, and a consistent schedule of engaging programming offer opportunities for stimulation and eliminates the desire to wander.
We’d love to meet you! Visit us and experience our cozy community. Share a meal, and your story. A warm welcome always awaits you at Addington Place!
