Jackson's Place

Mom has lived in 2 other similar houses. This is the only one where the owner is concerned about the well-being of residents, and isn't just out to make $. The first such house returned our deposit, I assume because the owner knew staff and management hadn't lived up to their end of the bargain. 2 residents can't do anything and probably have little memory. It doesn't matter / they are moved to the den every day so they aren't left secluded. Full feast for thanksgiving and Christmas (never happened at the other houses) - and ALL residents were included in activities, including a gift exchange. One man at the previous location was able to communicate, but he was never in the public area. Easier to leave him in bed than use the hoyer or another means to move him. Very sad.

We are really pleased in general with The Jackson @ Woodhurst. We especially like Martha, the business manager. She is quite cheerful and perky. The visiting nurses have done a better job than the hospital personnel. They were able to heal her head wound when the hospital staff couldn't. One suggestion that I would make is for this facility to have some kind of music therapy with student musicians or volunteers. This has proven helpful with Alzheimer's patients. I was very pleased that the staff accommodated my mother-in-law's parakeets. She was able to bring them with her and the residents love them. I am pleased overall with the care she receives here.

Thank you Joy and Shirley! We loved your homes too, Thank you for what you do!

My father has been here almost two months and I couldn't be happier with the house and care that he has received. The staff is very responsive when needed and I've never seen the house in disarray. I did not know that this type of facility existed and am so glad that A Place for Mom referred me to it.

Even though I am just starting to search, Erik from Happy Family was very nice and I really liked his arrangement of the community. It was in a very good location for me and my family, but it was dusty.

Kelly thought our appt. was cancelled and did not meet us. We toured the house. All residents were asleep in various chairs. The clients were low functioning and probably not a fit for my husband.
