Multiple Types of Senior Care Services
What sets our community apart is that we offer multiple choices for senior living in Burlington. It's important to get the right type of care for your loved one's particular needs.
For those who need help dealing with daily tasks due to age-related health issues, assisted living is the choice. Our helpful assisted living staff are available 24/7 to help residents with their unique needs, including bathing, getting dressed, and taking medication.
If your loved one of the 62,000 Iowans with Alzheimer's, they'll need memory care. This involves individual care plans from highly qualified and trained staff members for each resident. They'll be cognitively and physically stimulated every day to enhance their quality of life and deal with their evolving symptoms.
We also offer respite care for seniors who have undergone hospitalization. If your loved one would benefit from a short-term stay under our exceptional care, respite care is the right choice.
Senior Living Options
Addington Place of Burlington also provides choice when it comes to individual rooms. Your loved one will be able to choose between a suite, a 1-bedroom, and a 2-bedroom apartment. Being able to choose a room that suits your needs and budget makes the transition into senior care much simpler.
Each of the rooms is equipped with all of the necessities - a kitchenette, air conditioning, cable, and other essential appliances. Our community is also pet friendly, in case your loved one wants to bring their furry friend along to senior living.

One of the best ways to separate the best Burlington assisted living community from the rest is to look at ratings and reviews from the loved ones of current and former residents. This can give you a sense of what to expect before your loved one moves into the community.

All of our staff undergo extensive training and vetting to ensure they can provide the standard of care our residents expect. Not only are they available to help residents make the most of each day, but they'll be like a second family to your loved one.

Unique Community Amenities
Often, it's the amenities a community offers that bring the most joy to residents. At Addington Place of Burlington, we offer a wide array of amenities to enhance resident comfort, convenience, and enjoyment.
We have multiple lounge areas for residents to enjoy, as well as a well-kept outdoor space that they'll be able to explore. We've even got an in-house salon for residents to look and feel great.
Daily Activities
An important aspect of senior living is the ongoing physical health of residents. A community needs daily activity programming to ensure residents are hitting their health goals every day.
Our activity calendar outlines what a typical day looks like at Addington Place of Burlington. Your loved one could partake in a game of mahjong in the morning, an outing to a local landmark in the afternoon, and bingo in the evening.
They'll also have access to healthy activities, like yoga, walking clubs, and Tai Chi, among other things. The goal of our activities is to promote health, mental wellness, and socialization between residents.
In-House Dining
Nutrition is another important part of healthy aging. Seniors need to get all of their vitamins and nutrients to avoid things like weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease. Sadly, many seniors fail to eat well because cooking is such a chore.
All residents have kitchenettes in their units for light cooking. For those who can't or don't want to cook, there's also an in-house restaurant serving up delicious and nutritious meals every day.
Transportation Services
Even in a community that goes above and beyond to make your loved one feel at home, it's important that they can get out and explore the local community. Our scheduled transportation services make it easy for residents to get to and from appointments, lunch dates, and shopping trips.
Giving residents this freedom raises their quality of life. It also takes the burden off of family members who feel obligated to be available to transport loved ones wherever they need to go. We handle it all so you don't have to.
