Addington Place of Shoal Creek

Addington Place of Shoal Creek sits at 9601 N Tullis Dr in Kansas City and gives seniors a place where independence matters but help is always close by if needed, and when you walk through the community, you'll notice a friendly one-level floor plan that makes getting around easy and doesn't add to anyone's confusion. The community has studio apartments, single and semi-private rooms, and residents can bring their own furnishings and special keepsakes to make their space feel more like home, and folks with pets will be glad to know small pets are allowed, so you'll often see a furry friend or two passing in the hallway. The community holds an assisted living license Type 2, Alzheimer's, for up to 88 residents, and people over 55 can live here and choose from assisted living or memory care depending on what they need, with each floor featuring apartments that have kitchenettes for making a snack or a cup of tea. Specialized care programs support those with different needs, including the Beacon Neighborhood for early stage memory loss, and the memory care section has higher staffing ratios and its own neighborhood coordinator. Residents get a personal response system and staff is available round the clock, so families can feel a little more at ease knowing someone's always nearby. There are healthcare features like regular visits from occupational and physical therapists, and the staff manages medication and personal care too. The dining area always smells like something good is baking, and meals happen in a bright, shared dining space. The social calendar is busy with concerts, outings, exercise classes, religious services, and even cooking classes, so it keeps everyone engaged. Those who get bored easily find themselves busy with familiar routines and new experiences as part of the Daily Life program, planned with each person's interests in mind. The building has modern furnishings and colorful artwork, while the memory care area stays keypad-protected for safety, and the designs focus on helping people stay calm and comfortable. Housekeeping comes with the apartment, so cleaning is taken care of. Families note the community on review sites and it holds a 3.7 average rating from 39 reviews, which shows people have a mix of experiences here, like anywhere else. Addington Place offers all-inclusive pricing, so fees cover most care and services, and that's helpful for those planning ahead. Offsite trips are part of the activity schedule, and everything from exercise options to social events helps maintain a sense of belonging. The staff pay attention to each resident's needs, with care plans that change as those needs do, because folks don't all age the same way. Addington Place of Shoal Creek tries to keep things straightforward and wants residents to feel as much at home as possible while still giving families peace of mind.
