Addington Place of Fairfield sits at 3000 W. Madison Avenue in Fairfield, Iowa, in a peaceful spot among the rolling farmland. The community provides Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Respite Care, giving seniors a range of support depending on their needs. Seniors live in studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with options like kitchenettes, walk-in showers or a walk-in tub, and air conditioning, while deluxe and suite layouts are also available. The setting feels homelike and cozy, while apartments are easy to personalize and pets are welcome. The community follows a pet-friendly policy and keeps walking paths, a courtyard with a gazebo, and patios landscaped with flowers for relaxing outside or taking in the sun.
Inside, residents can use common rooms like a library, a movie lounge, fitness center, games area, arts and crafts room, and an old-fashioned diner in memory care with red vinyl seating and a soda fountain. There're bright dining rooms with linen-table settings and special dining programs, plus chef-prepared meals served daily. Both the assisted living and memory care programs focus on supporting each person's abilities, with staff providing help for bathing, dressing, medication, or mobility as needed. The Gardens, a secured memory care neighborhood, includes a safe, easy-to-navigate layout with decor and activity spaces aimed to help maintain routines for those with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Trained staff are always present and provide care plans made by an R.N., families, and the resident, focusing on wellness and independence while helping with daily life activities. They manage medication, offer special programs for veterans, and can provide hospice support if needed. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and a beauty salon offer practical help so seniors can keep up their routines. The community encourages everyone to join daily games, arts, group outings, movies, exercise, and educational sessions, all planned by a full-time activity director. There are field trips, devotional services, and activities to bring people together, along with a steady calendar and a community blog with updates and resources.
Safety and comfort get a lot of attention, with smoking prohibited indoors, indoor walkways for exercise, handicap accessibility, Wi-Fi, and both indoor and outdoor spaces for visits and group gatherings. For short stays, Addington Place offers respite care for those recovering from illness or surgery, or while caregivers take a break. The approach here is straightforward and focused on individual needs, with a staff that aims to be friendly and reliable, and a setting that feels comfortable and supportive for seniors looking to stay active and connected with others in their own way.
