Overview of Addington Place of Burlington

Addington Place of Burlington is a 100-bed memory care facility at 5175 West Avenue in Burlington, Iowa. Administered by Jason Murphy, the community serves Des Moines County under license S0287, which is active through September 23, 2026. The facility currently reports 46% occupancy with 46 residents, a figure below the Iowa state average of 75.4%. The location is highly accessible with a Walk Score of 78, meaning most daily errands can be completed on foot.

State-level oversight through the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing reveals a history of significant regulatory challenges. Since 2003, the facility has recorded 53 total deficiencies across 26 inspections, averaging 2.3 annually, which is 92% above the state average. While a July 2025 complaint investigation resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, this follows a November 2024 inspection where deficiencies were cited for inadequate incontinence care documentation and missing respite care instructions. Historical records from 2017 to 2020 document more severe violations, including inappropriate restraint use and a medication error that required emergency room care for a resident.

Clinical care is provided in a setting that has operated for 17 years, offering assisted living and specialized dementia support. Memory care rates are listed at $6,900 per month, while assisted living starts at $5,300 per month. Professional services include 24-hour staffing and nursing support, though past evaluations have identified systemic issues with staff training, particularly regarding emergency procedures and delegated nursing tasks. A 2019 report also noted failures to complete incident reports for unusual occurrences.

The residential environment includes amenities such as kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, and chef-prepared meals. Shared features include housekeeping services and dedicated activity spaces intended for memory care programming. Despite having foundational gaps in abuse training and food safety in earlier years, recent 2024 and 2025 records suggest a shift toward improved compliance. However, the facility has historically struggled to ensure that individualized service plans accurately reflect the care needs for all reviewed residents.

Prospective representatives should weigh the facility’s long-term regulatory record against its recent zero-deficiency findings. It is necessary to verify current staffing stability and confirm that incident reporting protocols are strictly followed during an on-site visit. Individuals can contact the administration to discuss specific care protocols and to determine if current remediation efforts meet their expectations for 2026 placement.
