    Warm community but staffing concerns

    I placed my loved one here and overall I feel relieved - the community is warm and family-like, staff are caring and attentive, activities are engaging, meals and housekeeping are usually good, and medical/hospice support is strong. Many employees are compassionate, long-tenured, and go above and beyond, which makes residents thrive. That said, chronic understaffing, high turnover and uneven training have caused delayed responses, missed medications, occasional unsanitary cleaning, safety lapses (improper lifts, at least one serious incident), and a few troubling management/contract communication issues. Management has addressed some concerns but not all, so I recommend this place for its heart and programming - just monitor care plans, staffing levels, and billing closely.

    About Addington Place of Clarkston

    Addington Place of Clarkston stands as a verified and licensed senior living community that offers many living options, so whether someone needs active adult living, independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care, there's a place for them here, and while there's no big flashy names for programs or services, the care is steady and the building stays clean and well-kept, and you'll often see mature trees surrounding the grounds, which gives some privacy and a nice green space for residents who love nature or want to walk outside for a bit of quiet, and with transportation available for appointments or trips, nobody feels stuck or cut off. Residents get weekly healthcare provider visits along with constant supervision when needed, so everyone's health and safety are looked after, and individualized care plans cover things like medication management, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available on-site, making it easier not to leave the building when rehabilitation or special care is needed. There's a focus on safety, with wide walkways, secure entrances, and accessible showers and tubs for everyone, plus the entire community is wheelchair-friendly. Dining happens in a big community room or, for quiet moments, in the serenity room, and chef-prepared meals come three times a day, which means there's no need to worry about cooking or nutrition, and snacks and drinks get served daily at the bistro and hydration station, with options for room service and even private dining if that's something you want.

    The activities go from social gatherings to movie nights in the theater, book clubs, writing workshops, music therapy, gardening in raised beds or walking paths, and there's baking, games, puzzles, and memory-focused enrichment for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, who get care in a setting with secure areas, special programs, and trained caregivers. Addington Place boasts award-winning memory care programming that's built on five pillars, focused on keeping everyone as sharp and involved as possible, and reminiscence therapy helps with that too, all to support each person's emotional and cognitive strength. Residents can bring pets since the place is pet-friendly, and there are patios, courtyards, and outdoor gardens to enjoy, along with a TV lounge, piano room, arts and crafts studio, exercise classes in a fitness center, and beauty salon and barber shop on-site, making it easy to stay active and groomed without going far.

    Families can count on respite care for short-term stays, nursing home-level support for those with high needs, and hospice and aging in place for when health changes over time, so moving again isn't a worry. Religious services come to the facility with Catholic and Protestant chaplains visiting, and there's a private library, event spaces, and plenty of common areas indoors and out for residents to gather or find peace, depending on what's needed that day. Staff keep up with laundry, dry-cleaning, cleaning, mail, and even grocery deliveries, working with a friendly attitude and trained skill, aiming always for each resident to feel comfortable, empowered, and truly at home-whatever their health, interests, or preferences. Utilities like cable TV and Wi-Fi come included, there's resident parking for those who drive, and plenty of chances to socialize or find a quiet spot, making Addington Place of Clarkston a calm, supportive environment where older adults can go about their days with help when it's wanted and privacy when it's needed.
