We placed our Mother at Jennifer Gardens thinking it was a nice place. They seemed to have many good reviews and it was clean. We were deeply disappointed, and still struggle with guilt in placing here there. We found our Mother, who prided herself on cleanliness restrained to a wheelchair “for her own safety” in briefs full of feces because she said nobody could help her and she had to go. Her briefs were soaked with urine on several visits. Being restrained in her wheelchair for the entire day caused her impaired mobility, frustration, muscle loss, and a feeling of helplessness. She suffered dehydration while in their care. She had multiple unexplained falls, extensive bruising, and a broken wrist. We found her with dirty hands well after mealtime. We found her with her eyes dirty and full of crust many times. We asked if someone could help her up and walk her every day. Our response was “she wouldn’t remember if she took a walk anyways”. She wasn’t taken outside to see the sun and birds unless by a visitor. There are no windows in the memory care unit except for in her locked room that she didn’t have access to unless she was sleeping or using the bathroom. The food looked good. Often the drinks are served in sippy cups that have to be bit on and sucked, which she never remembered how to use and told us “those don’t work”. We asked that she could at least have a book on her lap, as the days are long, and she can still read easy books. We brought several of her favorites in, but they were always put away in her room. Her glasses weren’t on every day and she needs them to see. The lady who does activities seemed very good, but my Mother has never been comfortable around strangers, and sat alone a lot or next to nonverbal people. No stick bandages were not always used in her tender skin. A few of the staff were very understanding and friendly, but it is severely understaffed there, and they couldn’t give adequate care. We decided to remove her after too many events that left her with no dignity, and she is now in the care of a family member. The saddest part of it all for me is remembering her tell me of the elderly people she cared for for so many years at the hospital she worked at. How you had to be so gentle and kind to them. That they lived long and hard lives and they just wanted to go home. I do not recommend this facility for any human being.

I had my mother here for over a year. She lived in the Memory Care neighborhood. I couldn't have been more pleased with the care that she received! They always took her to the activities to keep her mind active. She was always well groomed and dressed in the cute outfits I brought in for her. Whenever I would visit or take her out for a ride, they'd let me know how much she'd be eating and any appetite changes. I appreciate them still to this day even though my mom has passed away. They still keep in touch with me. I worked in Assisted Living for 20 years and believe me when I say that Jennifer Gardens exceeded all my expectations!

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 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. 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.
