The Addison of St. Johns provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents a continuum of support that ranges from daily task assistance to the specialized attention required by advanced dementia. Care teams manage conditions such as wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, elopement risk, frequent nighttime wakefulness, wound care, oxygen use, and diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication or insulin injections. The community is also equipped to admit adults under 60 who need these same supports.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site or on call at all times, and every staff member has passed a background check. Residents benefit from an awake night shift, 24-hour security, door alarms, wander-guard systems, pull cords, and personal emergency response devices that link directly to caregivers. On-site services include visiting podiatrists, audiology providers, a therapy room, and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting can all be handled with full assistance, and transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person lifts for those who rely on walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments can feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; housekeeping and scheduled laundry are part of the monthly fee. Because floor plans vary, prospective residents should confirm which features are included in the specific suite they select.
Meals are prepared three times daily with both a set menu and an on-order option. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family visits. The kitchen staff accommodates physician-ordered or preference-based diets, including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid textures.
Residents have access to parking, outdoor smoking areas, and a wheelchair-accessible campus that includes a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie theater, wellness center, internet stations, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a library, and several special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, and local outings.
