The Addison of Alpharetta sits in a peaceful spot where older adults can choose from assisted living, memory care, and independent living. The community offers apartments in several layouts, including spacious two-bedroom homes, studios, and semi-private rooms, many with two walk-in closets, modern comforts, built-in safety features like hand railings, emergency response systems, and pretty views of landscaped gardens. Folks can bring some pets, which is nice for animal lovers, and visitors are welcome at mealtimes thanks to guest access, so families can still gather around the table now and then. Handicapped accessibility is built throughout and the buildings have high-speed internet in the common areas and apartments.
There's a full-size kitchen in some units, and in the community spaces, you'll find dining areas serving meals made with quality ingredients by on-site chefs and meal planners, with an eye on nutrition as well as taste. Residents and guests can join in community dining, and the kitchen staff serves nutritious meals that accommodate special diets when needed, like diabetic or incontinence care. Housekeeping and linen services help keep things tidy, and there's in-house laundry and drycleaning. Residents can also get haircuts at the salon, and enjoy religious services right inside the building.
For folks who enjoy being busy or social, there are recreation rooms, a computer room with Wi-Fi, and organized activities, games, and facilitated outings. There's an outdoor garden and patio for a bit of sunshine or a stroll, and plenty of field trips to places offsite, so folks aren't always stuck inside. The community has amenities for hobbies and fun, so boredom doesn't tend to be a problem.
As for support, the Addison of Alpharetta employs care professionals who can help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and managing medicines. Nurses are on staff part-time, there are medication reminders and administration, and trained aides give personalized care and companionship. In the memory care part of the community, there are special programs to help seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's, helping reduce confusion and wandering, and the team has extra memory care training for this purpose. The facility uses the FOX Optimal Living program for physical, occupational, and therapy services, and therapists come by on a regular schedule. There are also specialized care staff trained to provide skilled nursing on-site as needed.
Transportation is available too, both for errands like shopping and other general appointments, so residents who want to get out aren't limited by mobility or lack of a car. Pets can be cared for, and seniors who need only a short-term stay can find respite care. The facility is licensed by the State and has unique names for some of the services and service areas, which helps folks find what they need a little faster.
The fee structure has an extra charge if a second resident shares an apartment, and there are both assisted living and memory care services available for people age 55 or older. English language support is provided, and the staff is known for being friendly and helpful. The overall idea is simple-comfort, safety, independence, and a bit of company-so folks can carry on living well and peacefully, with support close by if they need it.
