Addington Place at College Harbor (formerly Allegro St Pete)

My parents chose to move to Addington because we had close friends who had lived there. They and their children were very pleased with their care and always spoke highly of the staff. After five months I can confirm their experience. John Leinbach and Ashley Acosta have both been especially helpful getting both of my parents settled in and attending to their various health needs. The staff is caring and the physical and occupation therapies are especially excellent. The menus are varied and meals are well prepared. We are especially grateful for the great care and concern they have taken for all residents during the recent trying times.

I have been a resident of Addington Place (formerly Allegro) for about five years, first in assisted living and now in independent living and have been very pleased the entire time. I think the staff is very friendly, helpful and accommodating and good service is provided in all aspects. To me the building is very attractive both inside and out and several upgrades have been done during my time here. Its surrounded by lovely grounds and the intra-coastal waterway. Theres a library, a heated pool, a hot tub, shuffleboard courts and an in-house beauty salon in addition to three dining rooms, a great room, an assembly room, a gym and each floor has a common area. There are many scheduled activities so its easy to spend the entire day participating in a variety of them ranging from exercise classes to art classes to group discussions, Bingo, card games and on and on. Theres also in-house entertainment. During normal times, outings are offered for shopping, eating at restaurants, attending baseball games, horse racing, concerts, plays, museums and special events. While there are no outings, visitors or any resident comings and goings during the pandemic, the staff is making sure that our individual needs are met and that there are in-house activities for us to do. All the residents have been tested and the staff is tested bi-weekly for Covid-19. The residents do feel safe.

I've been working with Addington Place for several years now. The community leadership is the best. Ashley & Justin run a great Assisted Living. John and Bev are so helpful getting people moved in. The building is well kept and the grounds are just beautiful. You can't beat the view. But the best of all is the people who live here. Just love the residents at Addington Place!

My Mom moved to Addingrton Pl. 7 years ago, she is now 91 and still in Independent Living. She has a great attitude. She loves it there. The staff has always been accommodating, polite, and professional, including during the virus lockdown. Im thankful to them for taking care of my Mother. The location is great, on the water with dolphins, fish, birds, and a constant boat parade. Access to downtown and the beaches is a breeze.. There were many activities my Mom took advantage of before the virus such as nice restaurants every Tuesday, Mahaffee Theatre , Dali Museum, shopping, and all transportation is free. She also loves exercise class and the pool, we used to swim with her, cant wait to do it again. The food is fine, I have eaten there many times. I loved the Omelet Station mornings. Of course they have glitches, but they seem to work them out, and want to work them out. I would recommend Addington Place to anyone.

My parents moved into independent living at Addington Place at College Harbor 7 years ago at the ages of 94 & 90. Their transition was pretty smooth because the facility was pleasant and comfortable. My parents enjoyed the beautiful walks, views of the water and some occasional fishing. My Mom especially enjoyed the pool and activities. The staff has always made the place special as they are always pleasant and helpful. Andrieka has always been there for any situation and she has such a kind heart. Alise provided lots of activities from flower arranging to Christmas decorations. John has been there to work through transitions. During this COVID-19 situation, he moved my Mom from her independent living apartment into her assisted living apartment and with his team, they arranged her furniture and belongings beautifully. This was above and beyond, greatly appreciated. Greta and Brandi always worked to keep everyone happy with the meals, and I know that is a daunting task. I enjoyed having dinner there with my parents often.My Dad passed away a couple of years ago and everyone was caring and respectful. Just recently, my Mom passed away. The skilled nursing team cared for Mom after a hospital stay, making her recovery successful. The assisted living team led by Ashley and Buffy made Mom comfortable and cared for during her final month. It was difficult with the COVID-19 lock-down, but they made it work with kindness and caring. There are many others I'm grateful for all they do for the residents. I'm very thankful my parents choose Addington Place.
