Amelia Springs Assisted Living

My mother is in The Jane Adams House in Fernandina Beach. I couldn't actually go in and visit because of the COVID restrictions, but they sent me pictures. I talked to the administrator and she is very nice and accommodating. They worked well with transferring my mother from the rehab center. The community is actually about 15 to 20 minutes from my home, so it makes it nice for visiting when I will be allowed to visit. It's crazy, but even in the circumstances they worked well and made it as easy as they could for me. I've talked to other people from my community here who had really good things to say about The Jane Adams, and my mother is really happy there. She has some assistance, like having somebody there when she showers just to make sure she does not fall off. She's pretty well gaining back her strength from having the physical therapist come there and work with her. She's walking with her walker. Her assistant of course makes sure that her meals are provided. They take her to her doctors' appointments. She has some help available, like for putting patches on, and during her showers, they bring meals and things to her room too. I talk to her almost every day. In fact, we're driving by today during a drive by to wave to her. She's happy there. The girls there are all very nice. It's a very small facility, which works well for her. She's almost 90. She loves the food, she raves about it. If she doesn't like fish, they fix her something different, and they now know what she likes, and what she doesn't like. The staff is very friendly. They get to know the people that are there. There's not a whole lot of activities and a lot of that is because of COVID. People can't go in, they can't have people come in. I'm sure that might change in the future. There are some little activities, but nothing too major. It's nice and very homey on the outside. It's a very, very cozy place for an institution. Her room is clean, they clean her bathroom. The meals are great and she really likes the staff. I've not had any issues with them and the administrators are very responsive. I have both the administrators' personal cellphone numbers so that I can text them with any questions, and they keep me informed. The Jane Adams staff members were very responsive when I was still looking for a place. They like accommodating and working with me. Actually, when my mom moved in, I couldn't go in the room with her, so they had me bring her stuff so they could set up the room for her prior to her coming in. They sent me a picture of her sitting in her recliner when she got in her room. I think because they're a smaller facility, they have 16 people in the assisted living section. It's much more personal with them.

We went to the Jane Adams House for my mother. The structure was similar to another place we visited, but the rooms were smaller, and it was definitely pricier by about $1,500 or more a month. The staff was fine and very accommodating.

My Father a 94 year old WW2 veteran was admitted into Jane Adams Memory Care unit one week ago. Private rooms only 15 patients and 8 caring and wonderful staff 2 on staff every evening checking hourly on each individual patient to assure they are safe. My father says everyone is so kind and nice and the food is very good. Very clean, full time handyman Steve painted and put together all the furniture we sent in and mounted the TV and picked up the cable box. They provide bathing 3 times per week have a barber shop and really care about their patients. Visitation 24/7 for family members. So relieved and happy that we found this place! Leslie is wonderful to work with and the staff is so kind and gentle with the patients.

I am very happy with the Jane Adams House. They are very caring people. It is the right size for my dad, and I feel like they really care about him as a person. The rooms are very inviting for the people who live there. The porch is beautiful because there are flowers and comfortable seating. They painted my dad’s room for us, and they did not need to because there was nothing wrong with the paint, but they ask me what color I would like for it, and they did it. They even provided him with a bedspread that they didn’t need to do. They put personal touches in the rooms, so it feels like they are living in a home. We are renting some of my dad’s furniture from them, but it doesn’t look institutional. It looks like it came from somebody’s home. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept. There are mature trees and bushes, and it looks like 2 houses. I think the administrator is the heart of the place. She is a young woman. I am not a young woman, and she puts me at ease and comforts me as the child. She really is special. My dad has been in 2 other places, and I didn’t say that about any of the other administrators. She is the real key to the success of the place.

The Jane Adams House was pretty good. We thought that it would be appropriate for my daughter. The food was fine. They had limited activities.

A very clean, well kept place with an equally great staff!!
