We chose Addington Place of Alpharetta because we have a friend whose mother has been living there several years. We knew my dad would need care at some point, and that point came in June this year. I love the way the staff interacts with my dad and their being entertained by his jokes. I love the family communications they send out. They recently had a meet and greet for new team members. I've been very impressed with new team members Thomas and Melissa in my recent interactions with them. In addition to caring for the residents medical and cognitive needs, they provide opportunities for families to join. I enjoyed the car show and outdoor picnic. I'm hoping to make the upcoming Fall Festival and Friendsgiving events. And I love the picture I took of him recently dancing during a live music event. I appreciate Executive Director Latoya Jone's leadership and want to thank her and the whole team for taking good care of my dad.

My mom was at Addington for about 2 years before passing away (she had seriously bad osteoarthritis, issues with a hip replacement, etc.). I felt that their COVID protocols were better than most, and while they had staffing issues like so many others, the quality of care was still very good. My mom ultimately wanted to go into hospice and it was so great that she could go back to her 1 BR apartment and be taken care of in familiar surroundings. Sandra Hidalgo was a life line at that time. What a great person! There were others who were super helpful as well. I definitely recommend Addington Place of Alpharetta.

April 30, 2022 UPDATE: NEW MANAGEMENT- Reduced from 5 starts to 3: Mother in Hospital now after being stable for almost a year. Addington was being managed by Cedarhurst when we arrived. They have recently changed to Senior Lifestyle and many of the trusted, reliable team members are gone. A handful remain, and I am truly grateful. I am in the process of addressing my concerns with them and the change, and will update again soon. Old 5 Star Review: 11 months ago. The management, nursing & caregiver, activities, and engineering team here is AMAZING! This is not just a diaper changing facility—— This is a whole other level of TOP NOTCH CARE! This is what assisted living should be! 5 Stars 11 Months Ago: What makes Addington Place special is the highly functioning teamwork. I’m serious- they are incredible! I have been a full-time caregiver for my 86-year-old mother-in-law for almost 4 years, and with three small children in the house too, I was reaching a breaking point. I tried one assisted living down the street, and we were only there three days because they basically didn’t give her critical medicine for three days and she almost died because of it, so I was very hesitant to trust anyone again. But a home health nurse sat me down as I cried and told me I needed to give Addington a try since she’s in and out of a lot of them. The whole team made sure the medications were understood and in stock before admittance, and then once we got settled in, I saw all these additional benefits that were so wonderful: access to an app that allowed easy communication with her team, a daily schedule and newspaper with fun activities for my mom, referrals to amazing primary care physicians and audiologists who come here to see her. So I have fewer times that I have to check her out for doctors appointments and get childcare. I honestly think that if she had still been at home with me, we would’ve already been to the hospital again this year. Their early detection of a UTI and medication with the primary care physician enabled her to get treatment immediately. They are even able to bring x-ray equipment to the facility… Again just saving so much time and trouble! The other day I came up to visit, and there were parrots and a poodle here for a resident show! They had a pianist and singer here yesterday. They also have daily exercise. It’s just a beautiful facility with an amazing team. I just wish the team would still be in place when I need this level of care someday! I love the people here, and I’m so thankful for Addington Place! (I wasn’t asked or bribed to write this 🤓. I’m writing it so other caregivers will know they can trust them- it’s SO HARD to find people you can trust! And I believe praise should be PUBLIC! Greatness and excellence is something to celebrate 🎉. They deserve recognition, because if you’ve ever cared for seniors, you know it’s not easy!) Thank you Danielle, Kelly, Kellie, Anita, Sandra, Ernie, Stephanie, LaToya, the chefs and the whole team!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Abe please forgive me if I didn’t get your name here, but know you are valued and appreciated!🤗🤗💕💕

I am an Atlanta based Eldercare Consultant. One of the services I offer is matching the needs of the families I work with to a community that fits their needs and wants. And, I am highly selective to ensure the best experience for my clients. I introduce families to Addington Place of Alpharetta without hesitation. The leadership is outstanding. Sandra, the Executive Director, has been there for many years (which is unusual in this industry). Because of that, she's had time to create a culture that is incredibly nurturing to both the residents and her staff. The residents are welcoming, energetic, and love to converse. There will be a group of residents that sit around after meals engaged in deep conversation. And the hallways are not empty. There is always activity, not in a chaotic fashion, but in an engaged fashion. Social and recreational activity is a key component to healthy aging. The caregivers are outstanding. I am writing this in JAN of 2022. There is a massive shortage of caregivers throughout the country, but not at Addington Place. Sandra, because of the culture she has created there, has retained her caregiving staff. And Caregivers are on the frontline, interacting with the residents each and every day. Consistent caregiving is not just a service, it is the key to an older adults health and sense of dignity. And lastly, the food and the activities are excellent. The Activities Director and the chef take a tremendous amount of pride in delivering quality nutrition, and care-specific activities that foster cognitive and physical well-being. In a world where consistency is not the norm in the Assisted Living industry, Addington Place of Alpharetta is a shining star.

Will the community, residents, or staff be required to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

No person will be charged for the vaccine or its administration. The vaccine is paid for by the federal government, No. Section 3203 of the CARES Act, which does not impose any cost-sharing requirements, such as a copay, coinsurance, or deductible. A minimal administrative fee (approximately $28) may be billed to your health insurance, including Medicare.The pharmacy will be reimbursed for the administrative fee by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) program for those uninsured.

What if I do not want to receive the vaccine?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

It is each person’s and/or responsible party’s right to refuse the COVID-19 vaccination. Any resident or employee who declines the COVID-19 vaccine must complete a Cedarhurst Refusal Acknowledgement for COVID-19 Vaccination.

Is it safe to receive the vaccine?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

It is each person’s and/or responsible party’s right to refuse the COVID-19 vaccination. Any resident or employee who declines the COVID-19 vaccine must complete a Cedarhurst Refusal Acknowledgement for COVID-19 Vaccination.

How will I show that I have been vaccinated for COVID-19?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Each person vaccinated will receive a card after the first (1st) dose and after the second (2nd) dose. That card will include the date and type of vaccine received.

What are the side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Most people do not have serious problems after being vaccinated, according to the CDC. Your arm may be sore, red, or warm to the touch. Some people report getting a headache or fever, particularly after receiving the second dose. These side effects are a sign that your immune system is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. It is building up protection and immunity against the disease.

Is it better to get immunity from actually having COVID-19 than it is to get immunity from a vaccine?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

No. The CDC says getting the COVID-19 vaccine is the safer choice. While still learning about the virus, the current advice is that COVID-19 has caused serious illness and death for many people and if you get it, you also risk giving it to your loved ones, who may also get very sick.

Do I need to provide my insurance card?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Yes, FRONT and BACK photocopies of each participant’s current insurance cards will need to be obtained and attached to their consent form. This will allow the vaccination teams access to unique claim billing details and avoid interruptions to the community staff.

Will I still need to wear a mask after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Yes. We must continue proper infection control measures, including wearing masks, practicing physical distancing, and hand hygiene. It is unclear how well the vaccines will curb the spread of the virus. The Pfizer and Moderna trials tracked only how many vaccinated people became sick with COVID-19. More research is needed to understand if vaccinated people can become infected without developing symptoms and, if so, whether or not those persons can silently transmit the virus to unvaccinated people.

How will the COVID-19 vaccine work?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

As with any vaccine, the goal of a COVID-19 vaccine is to expose the body to an antigen that will not cause disease but will provoke an immune response that can block or kill the virus if a person becomes infected. After receiving a vaccine, a person develops immunity to that disease without having to get the disease. Some vaccines last a year (like the flu vaccine) and others last longer (like the polio vaccine). Current science suggests that the COVID-19 vaccine will be more like the flu vaccine requiring annual dosing, but research will be required to fully answer this question. Although we do not know how long the protection from either the vaccine or from having had COVID-19 will last, we know that that the vaccine is a strong step towards eradicating COVID-19.

Do I need to give consent in order to receive the COVID-19 vaccination?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Yes. When your community receives the appropriate state- approved consent form from the pharmacy that will administer the vaccination, the form will be provided to you or your Responsible Party for signature. Verbal consent may also be obtained for residents who DO NOT have physical or cognitive ability to consent. If a resident or his/her Responsible Party is able to provide written consent, written consent should be obtained. If consent is collected verbally, a community representative’s original signature is required in addition to that of a witness on the consent form. The verbal consent must also be documented in the resident’s medical record. Further, the community is authorizing the pharmacy to bill on behalf of the individual being vaccinated. The pharmacy may require the consent form prior to arriving at the community and before they administer the COVID-19 vaccine.

How will the vaccination process work?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Either CVS or Walgreens pharmacy will come to the community to vaccinate residents and staff. We anticipate three (3) clinics, with two (2) opportunities to receive both doses of the vaccine. Clinic #1: Group 1 receives first dose Clinic #2: Group 1 receives second dose Group 2 receives first dose Clinic #3: Group 2 receives second dose

Who administers the vaccines during the community’s on-site clinics?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Appropriate trained personnel under applicable state and federal laws and guidance will administer the vaccines. The immunizers are trained and certified according to company and state-specific regulations. They may include pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and trained pharmacy technicians, as well as other qualified healthcare professionals. The pharmacist will bring all requested vaccine product and other supplies necessary (including all appropriate Personal Protective Equipment—PPE) for administration, according to vaccination protocol.

Will both residents and staff be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Both residents and healthcare professionals with direct exposure to residents will be vaccinated through the clinics. Some states may alter the order of those receiving the vaccinations; however, until directed otherwise, Cedarhurst is preparing to have all residents and healthcare professionals who wish to be vaccinated, vaccinated at the first two vaccination clinics.

Will Cedarhurst mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for residents and staff?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

In accordance with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and to help protect team members, residents, and the public from COVID-19, residents and all individuals who have direct exposure to residents, including employees (full-time, part-time, per diem, PRN), essential caregivers, and 3rd party providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists, home health workers, hospice workers, private duty service providers, beauticians, volunteers, etc.) are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated for COVID-19. At this time, however, Cedarhurst will not mandate the vaccine for residents or staff. Cedarhurst reserves the right to modify its position regarding mandatory vaccination in its sole discretion. Each individual should consult with his/her personal medical provider prior to making the decision to receive, or refrain from receiving, the COVID-19 vaccination.

Which vaccine will be distributed to my community?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

It is our understanding at this time, that all long-term care communities will receive the Moderna vaccine. However, depending on vaccine availability and distribution efforts, the Pfizer vaccine may also be used. Once your community receives its confirmation for its vaccination clinic, the specific vaccine will also be confirmed.

If I get vaccinated for COVID-19, can I have unlimited visits with my loved ones?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Vaccination for COVID-19 does not guarantee unlimited access for indoor visitations. Cedarhurst will adhere to the guidance of each applicable state with respect to permissible indoor visits/visitors. Currently, guidance as it relates to visits and the COVID-19 vaccines has not yet been released.

Does the vaccine require multiple doses?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Yes. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine consists of two (2) doses, administered four (4) weeks apart. The Pfizer vaccine consists of two (2) doses, administered twenty-one (21) days apart. You must receive both doses of the vaccine as scheduled by the pharmacy. Maximum protection against COVID-19 may not occur until several weeks after receiving the second (2nd) dose of the vaccine.

Will the vaccine prevent me from getting COVID-19?

Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021
Addington Place of Alpharetta | Oct 30, 2021

Vaccines authorized for emergency use by the FDA have shown to substantially reduce your risk of getting COVID-19. If you are exposed and contract COVID-19 after being vaccinated, scientists believe that similar to other virus vaccines, your risk of serious complications will be substantially reduced. When vaccinated, you will help protect not only yourself, but also your friends, family and other members of your community. Both vaccines were tested in large clinical trials to make sure that they meet safety standards. Many people were recruited to participate in the trials, including people of different ages, races, and ethnicities.
