Addington Place of East Lake

Addington Place of East Lake would be fine for independent living or someone that needs minimal assistance. The aides were above average, but clearly overwhelmed. The dining room staff was exceptionally friendly and did what they could to encourage socialization. Housekeeping was minimal, again probably geared more towards residents that required minimal assistance. I would recommend Addington Place of East Lake for residents that require little assistance.

The staff has larger turnover in some areas, like care staff. Housekeeping done weekly is thorough. Laundry is also done weekly along with bed sheet changing. Showers with assistance twice a week ..evenings if requested. I'm sent a copy of the resident calendar sometimes. Move in was a breeze. Meals are the biggest issue with residents but it is a main gathering and social time every day. Sometimes my dad says the portions are small, but you can ask for seconds. I have to remind him it's not a restaurant and they don't want to overfeed or waste food. They have happy hour every Wednesday at 4:30..often with entertainment. The last Thursday, dinner is friends and family with a theme and entertainment. They have trips out to restaurants a few times a month. Also take residents to Publix weekly and to Walgreens, banking and Walmart. Walmart is monthly. Things you can sign up for: podiatrist comes monthly, Doctor comes also. Physical therapist is available weekdays. Bingo, rummikub, farkle and other games. There is minimal impact exercise, but is done most days. I would recommend the facility. It has a pool and other amenities because it was originally an independent living facility. My suggestion would be an upgrade to the call button system residents have. There should be a way care staff can ask what's needed so they can prioritize. Falls wait as long as someone who needs help with shoes, etc.

I recently visited Addington Place of East Lake when I was sharing information for an upcoming event for seniors. I have not been in the community for many years and enjoyed my entire experience from beginning to end. The outside of the building is very uplifting and I was able to meet a nice couple currently living at the community. My visit was early in December and the inside of the lobby was busy with holiday activity. The center of the lobby has a Christmas Village that seems like something that should be in a city wide contest. If you are looking for something to put a smile on your face and get you in the mood for the Christmas Holiday I encourage you to see it. I met with the Director of Marketing and learned about some of the programs they have for seniors in the community. I am not currently looking for a community for a family member but if I were they would certainly be at the top of the list!

While looking for a place for my mother we toured Addington Place. We were very impressed by their cleanliness. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect for our family. I know where I am moving when the time comes.

The people make this place. So nice, responsive, caring, professional, and friendly. On the first day, everyone knew my moms name. It was so special. My mom is very happy there - beautiful balconies and large apartment.

All staff (receptionists, admin, medical staff, cleaning, food service) are very kind. They work very very hard. The Addington Place of East Lake is in a location, with very pretty surrounding grounds. They have been remodeling and all has turned out well. We are very happy with decision to have mom live there. No regrets by any of us. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

My mother was previously a resident at Addington Place of East Lake. Overall, the experience was okay, but there's definitely room for improvement. Wait times are very long to get help. Some of the help was rough with my mom. Constantly rushed. They were also cutting way back on food portions. The food was average/above average taste. As for recommending this facility, I would definitely look at multiple facilities to compare.

The housekeeping comes weekly, as does laundry. They do what the resident wants. Such as my loved one is the only one that wants an evening shower, and that's when he gets it. The meals are of good quality. They have trips out once a week. They have friends and family dinner once a month. I do recommend this facility to family and friends.

The staff in the kitchen is fantastic - they are very well managed. The food is amazing. The front desk people as far as sales staff and the director are very accommodating and great. The challenge seems to be finding aids to manage the day to day care.

The community is really nice. The food is good and there are three meals a day served. There are choices for the residents to choose from. They try to meet dietary restrictions for the residents as well. There are lots of activities to participate in, if the residents want to. They do allow pets as well.

We have been very happy with Addington Place, our loved one really likes the aesthetics of the place. The food is really good, we have had many meals there - it is low sodium meals there is no additional sodium added to them which is nice. The staff is really good. They do have a lot of activities going on. Our loved one especially loves the arts and crafts classes. She also really enjoys the the Wednesday happy hours and the live entertainment. They take them out on outings and have movies in the afternoon. We would recommend this community to other families based on our experience.

It's a nice place. They are really great working with my helping my loved one. Every place has hiccups, they try hard to work through them and get them resolved.

We toured this community and like it alot They did not have the level of care that we needed at the time. The staff was nice and it was beautiful. The menu was appealing and the dining area was nice. The residents seemed to be happy here in the environment. We would recommend this community for the excellent care that is received with an outstanding value for others.

We were able to get a furnished room for dad during his respite stay. When he decided to stay he was able to keep this furnished room. The staff have been helpful and encouraging. The food is very good and the community is well taken care of. They have a podiatrist that comes in and they have a hearing clinic on site. They do have a nurse on site during the day. I would highly recommend this community
