What this means for your family
While Addington Place offers a vibrant activity program and some truly dedicated individual caregivers, the facility has faced significant challenges with staffing consistency and basic care standards in recent years. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend visiting on a weekend to observe staffing levels firsthand and asking management specifically about their current caregiver-to-resident ratios in the memory care unit.

Key Review Excerpts
“Weekends are the worst, short staffed or agency people and lack of care. They did have some Excellent staff members Like Joyce, Kim, Diamond, Angel, and Nurse Brittany, and Director Maggie, but the past Director Tina was terrible.”
“Lack of help for the last 2 years, imagine 1 person toileting, feeding, dressing, laundry, and much more for 15 memory care patient's. Of course they have 1 person who floats from bldg. To bldg.”
“The first year was wonderful and they took good care of her. The second year everything went downhill. Everything from her personal care and hygiene to housekeeping became a daily issue.”
