Addington Place of Brunswick

Addington Place of Brunswick is filled with love and laughter, that alone is good for the soul! The staff treats the residents like family and know them all by name. If you have never toured this community, I encourage you to do so. You will leave feeling like you just left your grandmother's house. That is how welcoming they are!

If I could rate this community more than a 5, I would. I have visited and attended the events. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. The treat the residents as family and they all seem so happy. They genuinely care about the residents, and it shows. It's so nice to see staff members love what they do. I hope one day I am able to become a resident at Addington Place of Brunswick!

I would never recommend Addington Place to anyone. We did not have good experiences there and our mother died as a result. She was not cared for as advertised. The charges were never correct. They had very few people working on weekends, which was when our mother would typically fall as a result of no one responding to her calls. The last two weeks of her stay there, she fell twice resulting in a fractured back and then a broken hip. We and Hospice were not informed of her last fall for 24 hours when they finally tired of her screaming in pain. She succumbed to her broken hip and misery 3 weeks later, after a week's stay in the hospital and a move to another facility. There, they could only make her as comfortable as possible. Addington is only interested in filling rooms for payment. Though a few health workers were concerned, their management was not.

In my experience with Addington Place of Brunswick, residents are family-embraced by a team who go the extra mile with genuine smiles and caring hearts. It's a place where kindness reigns, creating a haven of friendship and joy.

Sadly, it was time to place my husband, who has Alzheimer's Disease, into a memory care community. I had checked out several places earlier and my family physician suggested Addington Place. I went there and met with Brittany and Dani. They were ABSOLUTELY delightful. They gave me the grand tour of this beautiful property, in which I immediately recognized as my husband's new home. On move-in day we were greeted with a "red carpet" welcome, balloons, cookies and cupcakes! The staff in the memory care (Embrace Neighborhood) are all loving and kind to not only my husband (who can be a booger at times), but to our family as well. He is always under their watchful eye, clean and fresh, and constantly having his brain stimulated with activities and social events. He also has access to their enclosed outdoor garden. We are blessed to be at Addington Place where everyone is family!

I am so thankful for the leadership and team at Addington Place. My mom has been a resident for two and a half years, and during that time, she has always been well cared for and loved on. Her room is so personal, the food is outstanding, and the team is ALWAYS there to help in any way needed. I am able to be a daughter with mom instead of being the caregiver, and that has made these last two and a half years SO much better! I am so very thankful and grateful. Addington Place goes above and beyond EVERY time!!

Addington Place is a wonderful place for mom and dad. The property is beautiful, the programs are great- it truly does feel like home. I would highly recommend Addington Place to any of my friends or family!

Highly recommend!

My father is currently a resident at Addington Place of Brunswick and the experience has been great so far. [name removed] was amazing and so helpful with getting my father settled in. [name removed] corresponds with me often to give me updates on my father's activities. The staff is great! The cleanliness and friendliness are also great. I would recommend this facility to others.

Had high hopes for my mom when we put her into this lovely memory care facility. It’s really beautiful and homey. They made a great sales pitch that convinced us that this would be the right place and that her final days could be spent in house under hospice care. The positives were a good activity therapist, decent food, and some good CNA’s. The negatives were inexperienced management, not enough staff to handle the higher acuity of the residents (even though technically they met state requirements but practically they did not). Facility fails to report incidents to the state when they are mandated to. Facility does not do hospice recommended safety measures. Fall rate, when my mom was there, was horrible! Some night staff failed to do the rounds timely. I removed my mother after three months. She is now in a much better facility where she gets the care she needs. In my opinion, if this facility can’t do better they should close their doors.

Moved our 99 year old Mom (has dementia, a fall risk & on Hospice) into Memory Care [date removed]. Mgmt said they worked w/Hospice & the residents in mem. care are checked every 2 hrs. By March Mom had fallen 3 times, one of which she was taken to the ER & req'd stitches. As a result, we decided to put a camera in her room w/mgmt's approval. Discovered then the 2 hr check WAS NOT HAPPENING -- plus other residents were wandering in & out of her room at all hrs day & night w/no staff supervision. Mgmt's solution to the 2 hr check was to put Mom in a wheelchair & leave her in the Commons Area all day long. She fell a 4th time on [date removed] in the Commons Area & had to go the ER again. At this point Hospice recommended a bed alarm to use in her bed so when she gets out of bed, an alarm goes off letting staff know. Mgmt. would not allow it because they considered the bed alarm “a restraint” which IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT! We then gave our 30 day notice & moved Mom to a safer facility!

It was really clean. We picked this community, because it was an assisted living facility, and it looked more like an upscale house. I would tell a friend, don't do it. The doctor for the facility never showed up. My loved one was getting increasingly ill, and they did not address her symptoms.

It was very welcoming and had a good location for us. Initially, they seemed perfect. We have to check up on things quite often to make sure our loved one is getting the care and attention she needs. On the other hand, they have been very quick to fix the problems and have quite a lot on their plate. They do still seem to be the best choice for our loved one, but it isn't perfect.

This is an excellent place for your loved one to stay. The community is very nicely landscaped and clean on the inside and outside of the building. Overall I am pleased with the community and feel they are top notch. The meals have been taken over by a new company, and it has seriously declined in taste. I believe this could improve over time. My loved one does have to occasionally wait longer than they would like when the staff answers the call button. It would be nice for the family to be able to stay with our loved ones over night in their apartment. The nice thing is that the community is nicely laid out with not a lot of residents. There are social hour, bingo, exercise classes, women's social time, and more for the residents to choose from for activities. Laundry service, the room, extra care for a fee, meals, and housekeeping once a week is all included in the monthly fee. Bathing, transfers, medication management, and hygiene care is all the community is assisting my loved one with.

It was not a good experience. Her arms were always bruised up and red. This was a [price removed] mistake. They were not able or equipped to handle memory care residents. They were always short staffed and had a lot of turnover. While she was in the hospital her medicine was refilled and had never been taken while in the facility. So we paid for it and it wasn't used. Meals where fine. If your loved one is further along in their dementia or Alzheimer's then I would not recommend this place.

When we we able to visit, they kept the community very clean. We know they are taking good care of our loved one. The staff members are wonderful and they really are doing the best that they can. Our loved one really enjoys the meals, and when it comes to the activities they do a great job with the seniors.

Addington Place kicked my father out (sneakily sent him to a hospital and then refused to let him back in) *without notice* within one year of his residency. They kept an absurd amount of his money even though he wasn't even there for the majority of the month, and they kept the television that I bought for him when he moved in. Furthermore, they gouged him another $500 due to *their* accounting error, and are *still* ducking calls and not replying to emails. I explained that this $500 charge would cause him to become unqualified for Medicaid and put him at risk, but they don't care. We're trying to save his life, and Addington cares more about $500. His new facility still has not received his belongings that Addington claimed they mailed. I asked for an itemized inventory list and tracking number, but they refuse to provide any information. Please beware. Find any other place but Addington. They are a fake smile mask on a wicked, subversive monster.

Feels just like home and the staff treat all who enter just like family.

My experience here has been delightful. Highly recommend!

Mom's favorite part of being at this community is the food. The staff are friendly and treat her like family. The community is clean and well maintained. Mom loves it here and I would recommend this community.
