Addington Place of Edwardsville is a dedicated Memory Care community prepared to manage a wide spectrum of cognitive and medical needs. The team is experienced in redirecting residents who wander during the day or night, addressing elopement risks, and supporting individuals with behavioral challenges, advanced dementia, or complex diabetic regimens, including oral medications, injections, and sliding scale coverage. Staff members are trained to monitor oxygen therapy, implement specialized diets, and provide wound care. The community also accepts residents under 60 who meet clinical criteria, ensuring continuity of care for younger adults with memory‐related diagnoses.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site, with a nurse available by phone around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and the building maintains 24-hour staffing, secured entrances, a fenced rear perimeter, and resident pull-cord alert systems. An activity director plans structured engagement programs, while visiting podiatry, audiology, dental, and psychiatric professionals see residents in the building’s therapy room. Caregivers offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can help with transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs, those needing stand-by supervision, or those who require a one-person lift.
Residences are designed to balance privacy and oversight. Some rooms include private bathrooms and independent temperature controls; others offer shared features that still meet safety standards. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided so residents do not need to manage chores on their own.
Meals are prepared on a set menu, but the kitchen can accommodate on-order requests and physician-prescribed diet modifications. Consistent meal times help reinforce routine, while alternate choices ensure residents with changing appetites or health needs can still maintain proper nutrition.
The building is wheelchair accessible throughout and features an on-site barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie room, and library. Residents can access high-speed internet, spend time in the communal gardens, or attend on-site religious services. A concierge desk coordinates appointments, and scheduled transportation is available for outings and medical visits.
