These uncertain times have changed the way we interact with the world but staying connected with family and loved ones is an essential part of enjoying life and feeling fulfilled. The team at Addington Place of Lee’s Summit is committed to keeping residents safe and happy and has created several new ways for residents to spend time with visitors.

“Staying in touch with loved ones is vital to personal wellbeing,” said Monica Griffin, Community Relations Director at Addington Place of Lee’s Summit. “Our team will always adapt and look for opportunities to ensure residents have the best experience suited to meet their personal preferences.”

In-person visits follow social distancing guidelines and can be hosted outdoors in the Addington Place courtyard or other landscaped green spaces. Indoors, large common spaces also allow for safe, small gatherings in designated areas. Residents also have ready access to video technology for frequent FaceTime sessions and Skype video calls to help them stay in touch between visits.

When not visiting with family, residents have several new options for enrichment following CDC guidelines for safety. Daily activities have been adjusted to keep residents engaged and active, including hallway games, distanced group bingo and window-decorating art projects.

In addition to new life enrichment activities, Addington Place now offers just-for-fun van rides for residents to tour around town and get a much-needed change of scenery.

Going the extra mile – literally and figuratively – to ensure engagement and opportunities for delight, Addington Place of Lee’s Summit upholds the promise to residents and their families to provide caring protection and joyful support.
