Brookdale Jackson Oaks

My mother-in-law is in Brookdale Jackson Oaks. It seemed like a nice place, appeared very clean, and kept up. The people were very kind and friendly. I sat in one meal with her, it was very nice, and I didn’t eat the food, but she said it was good. The service was like a restaurant dining. They have a piano, she can play the piano, they have a recreation room they can go to, and get together as a group. The day I was there, they brought in gospel singers, and that was nice. They take them to Walmart shopping once a week, and they have outings for those who can get in the car and go. They plan things to get them out.

I didn't like Brookdale Jackson Oaks as much as the other place I visited because it was older. It was like a concrete jungle located on the corner of a busy bus and car path with businesses on all the corners. They also didn't keep up their grounds really well. Their prices were really good, but it was the location that I didn't like. I could have had a nice little apartment there outside the main building where I could park my car, and I could have planted some flowers and let my dog right out the back door. The apartment was not up-to-date, but adequate, with a kitchen, a bedroom, a dining/living room, and a back door.

My mother is a resident of Brookdale Jackson Oaks. She has a private room with a semi-private bathroom, and they were changing the carpets out. It was very nice, and the size is suitable; we were very pleased. They have activities for the residents, but she couldn't participate in them because of her condition. With what I have seen and experienced so far, the staff is very friendly and seems to be doing their job well. We have looked at the menu, and it appeared to be adequate. Ideally, we prefer to have our own private bath, but that would raise the cost. Other than that, everything seems to be adequate.

The food is horrible. Once they have your money, they treat you like a number. In the assisted living side, the aides are not CNAs and spend majority if there time at the nurses desks talking. They leave residents in their rooms all day long. On the independent living side, once they have your money they will welcome you the first two days and then you will never hear from anyone else. The food is always overlooked, no nutrition.

Brookdale Jackson Oaks was very nice and informative. They were friendly, clean, and had a lot of activities like church service, reading in the library, and people doing puzzles in a community area. The food smelled good. The dining area was spacious with a lot of tables. The room we saw had a spacious living room, bedroom, kitchenette, and a bath.

Brookdale Jackson Oaks is very clean. I was very impressed. We ate lunch at the facility, and we were served a delicious meal. It was like we were in a restaurant. It was not cafeteria style. There are waitresses who come to you to ask what you’ll have. We were offered dessert and coffee. The waitress was very nice. They showed us two different kinds of rooms. They had single room with double beds, which you have to furnish, and then they have apartments. We also went to a unit where there is a living room, a bedroom, and a bath. They have a room with a large television. They have a room where they play bingo and put together puzzles and play games. The facility is right across (from) a big grocery store. I would recommend this place to others looking for this kind of facility.

I viewed the independent section of this facility. It is perfect for what I want. Very independent with a full kitchen. Meals and cleaning are available for a fee. It is in a good location and seems very quiet. They have a great variety of activities available. Assisted living is available in another area of the same facility.

Jackson Oaks was a nice place. The management was extremely good. My step-father lived there when he was still alive. Their rooms were great and their staff is good.

I visited a little condo my aunt has at Jackson Oaks. I used to come down there at least once a week or every two weeks and spend the day, sometimes the night with her. She lives alone in her little space. If I were going out looking for a place for me, I would definitely look at this one. It has a gym, which has a little place so people can watch me. I can try something new and never fall, and somebody's out there to help me. It has a very large dining area. It is really clean. It is set up like one at home. The food that I ate was good. Sometimes, they have a salad bar, and if they have fish, that's usually a buffet style. You can get all the fish you want. They have an area that they provide for women. They actually have weight training. The staff is definitely helpful.

Jackson Oaks is a very pretty place and very well done. When I went there, it was very clean, and the rooms are very nice too. I only met one or two staff and they were very pleasant.

The staff at Jackson Oaks was very nice, friendly, and helpful. The rooms were adequate. It was very nice, very clean, but it wasn't for me right now.

I chose Jackson Oaks because it was just closer to where I live. The main problem I have is that the place is so expensive. They need a little more staff on the afternoon shift, but other than that the staff are fine. They always serve pork and I don't eat pork, although they have another alternative which is chicken.
