Addington Place of Clarkston

I do believe they need to review the contract with the family of the anyone going into their Memory Care highlighting specific areas such as discharge upon the death of the resident. I was shocked when my husband died on [date removed] and I had to pay 14 days, plus they kept the community fee of [fee removed] even tho I had just paid that 3 weeks before. It is true I had signed the contact online never reviewed it because it was so long, but it was stressful for his admission on [date removed] and then he died of at [date removed]. I just feel someone needs to review it personally with the family. As it was, that was very upsetting to me to learn it was non-negotiable. The staff at the Memory Care Were very caring & definitely knew how to work with dementia residents.

[name removed]was at Addington Place for [date removed]. He went home the end of [date removed]. We were very satisfied with the staff, the food etc. We would recommend it to anyone needing assisted living. [name removed] didn't require much care but he said he was happy with what he did need

My father's stay was only temporary for respite, but he will probably be going back permanently soon. The staff really seemed to care about the residents. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The facility is neat, clean and well organized. The setting is conducive to interactions as well as areas for privacy and small groups. The staff, obviously, know each resident and show concern and respect. Those of us who are concerned friends are welcomed and are greeted warmly and are encouraged to spend time and to be involved. Any concerns are handled professionally and with transparency. Each staff, no matter what role, is involved in providing the community a true sense of community. I highly recommend it and I thank A Place for Mom for their guidance and expertise.

Some staff needs more training, but overall, they are excellent with the residents. I think more activities are warranted for those with beginning stages of dementia to stabilize the dem progress. Most of the staff is wonderful. Newcomers need more training.

They treated her very well. The staff is compassionate.

Both my parents now reside at Addington Place of Clarkston and are adjusting fairly well. Mom has been in the hospital about one month of the time that they’ve been there and they arrived on [name removed]. One of the biggest problems is the food being cold, and as my parents put it difficult to eat due to spices that they are not used to such as garlic and spicy barbecue sauces. My parents are from the south and they’re used to certain types of food preparations but they are trying to adjust. The other problem that we are dealing with is the difficulty with communication between the medical staff and myself. I was their primary caregiver prior to placing them at Addington and I received very little input, even though I reach out for updates. Lastly my parents deal with complaints by staff due to staff shortages making my parents feel guilty when they need to ask for help

It's a lovely facility. I believe they often have similar meals on repeat in the memory care facility. Workers are very nice and they keep residents together, out of their rooms and interacting. It's always good to visit and stay on top of your loved ones care. Label their belongings as frequently things go missing. They did always come back.

The starting off experience was not that bad, but I found out that they just couldn’t handle [Name Removed]. I spent more time at the nursing home trying to teach them what her needs were and things like that she was only there for six days and ended up in the hospital spent seven days in the hospital and when she returned, she passed within four days I agreed to the pricing, but it just didn’t seem right. You have to pay an extra 14 days from the time you leave so out of the month they really only took care of her for roughly 14 days but then you have to pay into the next month, so I was not real satisfied with the facility, but I would also have to admit that she was not there long enough to see how it would work out I do hope this pretty much makes sense to you and thank you for asking to take the survey. Have a wonderful day.

The staff were very attentive to my mom. She passed away in June. They were all there with me, the ones that she felt especially close to. Housekeeping was kind and efficient. The move in process went very smoothly. I have recommended Addington Place and will continue to do so.

The staff at Addington Place of Clarkston have been great!

From the tour, to the application, to the move-in, everything was wonderful. Every person was kind and helpful. Housekeeping is good. Some staff are a little more thorough than others. Communication is good, but it might be helpful if they emailed the monthly calendar to family so we can encourage participation. (I will suggest this). It is expensive, but we feel confident that our family member is safe and well cared for.

In comparison to the other places that we've had my loved one, the workers are far more patient kind, and attentive at Addington Place of Clarkston. They have fun activities and keep her involved and she's in a much better place mentally. Also, more bang for the buck

It did not feel like a nursing home nor funeral home. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are a real nice size.

The main reasons we chose Addington Place of Clarkston was because of the very caring, dedicated staff. They offer many activities daily, and very clean facilities. My loved one is in memory care and she has a private room, it is a good size for all that she needs. I highly recommend this facility, the staff goes above and beyond for patients needs. Addington Place is wonderful and my mother is very happy there!

The food is more like chili, and tomato based optiions, so my loved one tries some of the options. They are busy all the time with activiites. They offer, Bingo dailiy, movies, crafts, and trips to the local grocery store We picked this community, because of previous reviews from friends-family, it wasclose proxity to my loved ones house. The tour is what sold us. They are so nice. We are getting good value for the money.

The Executive Director picked my mom up from the Rehab facility! Her greeting was so nice. Not overwhelming for her at all. A gift bag, special diet treats! The “short and sweet” visits was just what she needed to build her confidence.

We have been very happy with Addington Place. The staff are wonderful. Mom did have a fall last month, in the bathroom, and they called me right away. Addington place is very homey. The staff does several activities every day, Monday thru Friday. I have an app on my phone, Sagely, and I get updates on what activities mom is participating in. It seems pretty accurate. The food seems very nice, mom likes it. They have been very accommodating to mom's needs.
