Addington Place at College Harbor

The friendliness of the staff gets a 5+ Overall experience at Addington is excellent. Their entire staff is involved and dedicated to their residents. The facility is run well, safe and clean. The apartments are larger than the other facilities we explored. There has been some recent updating of the building. There are a lot of activities throughout the week. The monthly family parties are fun and well attended. The one negative is meals. While there are a number of choices, the quality of the food is inconsistent.

Overall, I would recommend this community. The benefits outweigh the weaknesses, and it is an overall a good value, especially when compared to other nearby communities. I would say the food/dining is a bit of a weakness. Quality is inconsistent, variety is lacking. They often run out of items (hamburger!) or have things on the menu that they refuse to cook (steak). Meat/fish is frequently overcooked and dry and bland. Desserts are great though! Activities are varied and numerous, as are the physical facilities. General use areas are very clean and well maintained. Staff are wonderful, warm and friendly. Weakest points are laundry facilities (woefully inadequate in number of machines), weekly unit cleaning service is very minimal/limited in scope.. Cable service is only included for a single TV. A second TV costs $[fee removed]/month. This was not made clear ahead of time. Wi-Fi signal is weak in many areas. It's slow and often goes down altogether. Transportation to doctor's appointments is very limited. This was a major attraction for us, and has been largely unavailable. When you're lucky enough to get a ride, they refuse to turn on the air conditioning in the vehicle that transports them, even with a heat index of 90-100 degrees! (Too much money they say) Huge disappointment! Despite the shortcomings, it's a lovely facility..

Addington Place is a very clean community, lovely apartments, nice dining room, but the food is....okay, helpful staff who seem genuinely caring of their residents. Staff greet ME by name, which impresses me

Based on the experience we have had, we would have to give Addington Place a 5 on all except for the food service and the wait staff. They are not very friendly at times but they are getting better. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

5 for all...The Addington Place at College Harbor has been great and my mom is thriving now. The Addington Place is very welcoming. What really stood out to my family and I was the way the community helped my mom get acclimated. From the staff to the residence everyone was super positive and super helpful.

The administration and staff of the independent and assisted living divisions are great. I would recommend Addington for assisted living.

The Addington is almost $[removed] cheaper and they have more outings for clients. We really like all the activities and outings they have for the residents and would recommend them to other families.

It's a wonderful place. My uncle is being very well taken care of. The staff is friendly. The neighborhood is amazing. It was super easy and accommodating. My uncle was very hesitant about signing up and they did a fabulous job convincing him and getting the paperwork set up for a quick move.

Everyone is very friendly, I think the food sometimes gets a bit repetitive but it's not bad and I would like to see them rotate some new regular activities into the schedule. Overall very satisfied with the experience.

The staff are very personable and know the residents by their names. You can tell they want them to all be happy with the facility. They're all friendly. The food is exceptional and there are many choices at meals. They have a great maid service weekly. The facility is clean and they keep renovating. They are now doing new floors through out. I would definitely recommend Addington Place. We are very happy my mother is living there.

What our family likes the most about the Addington Place at College Harbor is the warm, welcoming environment and staff members. The variety of activities and opportunities to stay active mentally and physically is really good as well

Great outdoor space for walking and just sitting to look at Harbor and visiting with others. Levels of care for Assisted Living.

We are enjoying our stay at Addington Place very much. We visited about ten Senior Living places, and Addington had many more social activities, and the staff were excellent. I would recommend to others.

I would tell others that the food Is very good, but unless the resident plans to eat in the main dining room, food is served only at the start of mealtime. If you get there later, they have no food. There has been bad attitude from some of the staff. My loved one felt bullied and disrespected by some of the staff. Others are very nice and helpful, but I suppose that's true everywhere.

I believe this community saved my loved one. My loved one is engaged with all the activities and residents. They love their room, view, and the community! The community has a pool and keep it clean along with the grounds. The staff are very kind and supportive. The staff were able to assist my loved one in getting settled into the community and making my loved one feel welcomed. They have been supportive in finding the right table for my loved one to sit at in the dining room with the support of other residents.

The quality of the staff and the activities stood out to us at this facility. The staff is very friendly. From the receptionist to the nurses, sales and and maintenance teams, all are respectful to the residents, eager to help, and caring. They all take part in activities, parties, and outings. There is a staff member who runs a chair yoga and weight training program that my mother loves. She loves the monthly parties and the weekly current event discussions. My mom is in Independent Living. Addington Place cleans her room and washes her sheets and pillow cases weekly. Overall the place is very clean. It is a bit dated, but well maintained. There must have been a loss of staff due to COVID, but the place is run well. My mom's major complaint is the quality of the food.

My mother is participating in exercise and attends the different events on the property. She goes on outings to Publix and Walgreens, so she's getting around and getting to know people - which is a good sign. The price is a little expensive, but given the amenities, the cleanliness, and the friendliness - the value is good. I would definitely recommend Addington Place to friends and other family members. I think that the price may be prohibitive for some people, but mother really enjoys it and I think its been a very good choice for her and our family. We're all pleased, and I would definitely recommend them again. I spent some time at Addington following my tour of the community, and I was able to speak with other residents as they came and sat near by. Another thing I like is that they have lots of little seating areas for large groups or a couple people. You can find a nook or cranny to sit down and talk. I observed the staff and their routine and I observed how they spoke to each other when not assisting residents. They were very kind to one another, I never heard a raised voice. I got a warm feeling that this would be a good place for my mom and that she would enjoy living here.

My loved ones are happy at Addington Place. The community is beautiful and the staff really care about the residents. There are lots of activities available for the residents to participate in. They truly have something for everyone. There are two meals a day with the option to purchase a third meal. There are snacks readily available at anytime for the residents.
