My aunt was moved in and due to the neglect of the staff and the wanderings of the patients who were not managed or supervised in the Memory care wing, she fell after less than 2 weeks. She was trying to get someone out of her room who had been coming in and peeing and pooping on her belongings. She broke her leg due to this situation. They also took 2 months rent out of her bank account. They still have not credited it back. So for 13 days of stay she has paid them 23,000. They don't respond to calls or emails and never appoligied for the situation. They offered to credit her for the time she wasn't there but still stole the money out of her account not only for the month she wasn't there but also for the month we had prepaid for before she moved in. They also take a 2500 fee that is non refundable even if they are at extreme fault.

We chose addington Place of Shoal Creek for our dad and we were very pleased with the care they gave him. My dad ,90, with dementia was cared for with respect and dignity by the team. Thank u especially to Jo who made sure every day my dad had a good day with her. Thank u again.

It is with a heavy heart that i have to leave this review. I interviewed for the maintenance director there and after walking the entire facility and having a good conversation with Tina Dietz she offered me the position and told me to expect the offer letter in the next couple days. With that information I went forward with trying to buy a house the only thing they needed from me was my offer letter. After waiting almost a week I decided to call and ask about it but they declined my call and an hour later I was told that even though they had offered me a job that they are moving forward with someone else. So for a week I wasn't Applying to other places because I was told they were hiring me making it so now I might not get this house because there is no offer letter. Now my question is if this is how they treat potential future employees how do they treat the residents.
