Addington Place Senior Living Uniquely Personal Senior Care Communities By Patti Richter Mary loves going outdoors, especially to watch the birds. She’s more interested in seeing a butterfly than being a social butterfly. That’s just fine at her senior care community. Staff members at Addington Place understand that individuals have preferences, and they take these seriously. After a team member connected Mary to a local Boy Scout troop, the boys built a bird feeder and placed it just outside her window. Addington Place could be defined by its person-directed care. This quality sets them apart from other senior care providers. Locally, these communities can be found in Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Roswell. Further, while 2020 became a year of special concern for residents of senior living communities, these three locations added stepped-up safety measures and extensive renovations. Person-Directed Care At Addington Place, important options result in high-quality senior care. The Alpharetta and Johns Creek locations offer both assisted living and memory care, and the Roswell community offers one-on-one personal care and memory care. Besides the resident-specific attentiveness, all three communities feature one-level floor plans that create an intimate environment and provide easier access to staff members. A welcoming, positive atmosphere defines Addington Place, according to Regional Director of Operations Alex Neff. “Our company prides itself on its person-directed approach. We focus on helping residents find joy in living through engaging activities, music, dining, electronic visits via iPads, computers, and more,” says Neff. Several things really stand out at Addington Place, according to Neff. “Primarily, we offer truly person-directed care with individual attention by trained staff members who maintain warm interactions with residents and tailor activities to the individual. An 11:00am riser can eat breakfast in his apartment,” says Neff. Secondly, residents and their families can be assured of first-rate amenities at Addington Place. Besides the open, spacious apartments and courtyards, residents enjoy greater staff attention, “such as being served their favorite recipe,” Neff says. Regarding any issues or requests, he adds, “We follow through. Things get taken care of.” Another feature Neff describes is quite noticeable — the recently completed renovations at these three communities: “All common spaces are new from top to bottom.” This includes paint, flooring, curtains, furniture, artwork, and decor. Safe and Secure All Around Addington Place staff members maintain ongoing assessments of each resident, updating documentation every six months. Nurses monitor residents daily; they also meet to discuss any noticeable issues or decline that they observe. A further security comes through helping residents stay connected to loved ones either in person or electronically. Residents wear emergency life-alert “pendants” around their necks or arms, and their bathrooms have pull-cord alerts. Importantly, Neff says all the memory care neighborhoods are open to the main common space, which includes dining and living areas, with clear sightlines and secure entrances. “And there are no hallways that can lead to confusion,” he adds. COVID-19 precautionary measures include twice-daily screening of symptoms for each resident and staff member and biweekly testing of all employees. Any positive result triggers mass testing. Neff says they closely follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, federal, state, and local guidelines, and residents’ families can use an app to receive notifications of updated information. Despite this time of coronavirus, seniors still have needs, and Addington Place is allowing move-ins at all three locations with specific procedures in place to protect new residents. (Almost) All Things New in Roswell In January 2021, the Roswell community will welcome back residents after a 100% renovation. Residents moved to other communities during the complete remodel.
