Jennifer Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care

I had an in-person tour of Jennifer Gardens. When we arrived, we had to ring the doorbell several times. Then we waited outside, and nobody came. Then we called the facility. Nobody answered, and the person there said she was unaware of our scheduled tour. They were very disorganized. It was a little off-putting, I guess you could say. After about almost 10 minutes, we were finally able to get in. The physical appearance is very nice. The building is very well maintained. It is on the newer side. The rooms are very decent in size, but it just wouldn't be a good fit for my mom. The people are on the older side, and my mom's still on the younger side. The staff members were very friendly, but they did seem overwhelmed. They had just finished serving lunch and cleaning up from lunch. They showed us their activities, and they have a lot of different activities going on. The activity room looked quite large. They have a walking area out back, so that was nice. The facility was lovely. I just think that they probably need a little more staff on hand.

Jennifer Gardens was excellent. I didn't see anything there that I did not like. It was very clean, and the personnel was very amiable. It was wonderful. I saw both assisted living and memory care.

I liked that Jennifer Gardens was about twenty minutes from my house. The memory care area was excellent. It is four years old and was designed with Alzheimer's in mind, and that caught my attention. However, they had shared bedrooms, and I wanted my mom to have her own room. Then, as I went through...

I liked that Jennifer Gardens was about twenty minutes from my house. The memory care area was excellent. It is four years old and was designed with Alzheimer's in mind, and that caught my attention. However, they had shared bedrooms, and I wanted my mom to have her own room. Then, as I went through the different facilities and saw that the residents were getting along well and so forth, my perspective on that changed. I now think that it's a very good idea. I also liked that you didn't have to bring any furniture. All you had to bring were your clothes, and that was nice. It was small and I really liked that the hospital was just right across the street. It's family owned and they made sure things were good. When I went in, they really checked you for COVID and all that. The dining area was very nice, too, and it was just for the memory care residents, so that was a good thing. There were a couple of ladies sitting on couches, and they were either reading, watching TV, or just conversing. They also had some other activities. The place was very clean. The front part was an older part of the building, but they were doing some renovations on it. The back part of the memory care was brand new, though. It was only four years old, so it was in very, very good shape. I also liked that they had different doctors who would come in once a week. It was good that they had some medical people on call, and a nurse is in five days a week. It was smaller in the assisted living part, but they were renovating. Also, it seemed residents were just sitting around, but the memory care was probably better planned out for the type of resident who was going to be in there. The staff were all very nice and everybody was excellent. They were just very polite, they answered my questions and took the time to talk to me, and I appreciated that very much.

Jennifer Gardens was nice and small. I liked it, that was my second choice because it was small, and it was a more intimate setting because it was just a home. The staff had been there for 17 years, she said. It was clean, the presentation, the room that my father-in-law was going to be in was nice....

Jennifer Gardens was nice and small. I liked it, that was my second choice because it was small, and it was a more intimate setting because it was just a home. The staff had been there for 17 years, she said. It was clean, the presentation, the room that my father-in-law was going to be in was nice. I could feel that the staff was very knowledgeable. They knew how to handle his care because he is a diabetic and he is a renal patient, so I feel good about it, if I had to choose that one and leave him there. Outside was nice, the little landscaping was nice, and she told me that they had transportation that would have been able to come and take him back and forth to dialysis.

They are not ready to be an Assisted Living/Memory Care. They need to further train there employees. They too need to be further train as business owners.

I want to commend the staff for the care they give to the residents. Today I attended the "Drive by" due to Covid. All the residents were so happy to receive the attention of the many cars that drove by waving and smiling to all. Thanks for having that event...it was GREAT!
