Morningside of Jackson

My mother moved to Morningside of Jackson, and so far, our experience has been pretty good. The staff seems competent and caring, and the rooms are nice. You have a choice of what size room you like, from a studio to several bedrooms. They also provide housekeeping and their food is really good. It's clean, there are no odors, and I have seen people sitting on the porch or watching TV. They have activities for the residents and they have a beauty shop. I still haven't seen any planned activities, but they have entertainment there. I haven't tried the food, but I was there when my mother was eating, and the food looked like something I would eat. The dining area is open with small tables that can seat four.

Morningside of Jackson was comfortable and everybody seemed happy. I liked the atmosphere and the physical surroundings. The location was also good. Everybody was nice and cordial. The staff was wonderful.

Morningside was very nice, but it offered more than what my mother needed. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were topnotch, very beautiful, and it was more like a retirement facility than a nursing home. The rooms were very spacious. The residents were happy and well entertained, and they had a lot of activities on site. Opportunities for exercise and leisure activities were high in their priority list. I would live there.

Morningside of Jackson was very nice and not too elaborate. The rooms were big. It wasn't too large and had some amenities but not that many. It seemed to be nice.

My mom is in Morningside of Jackson. I like that the room is close to the dining area. In some places, you have to walk like two miles to get to the dining room. The nurses seem very knowledgeable. I like them. Mother has complaints, like that they don’t come back when they say they’re going to, but she is impatient. I think the staff is good. They wash her clothes well, they empty her trash three times a day during every shift, and come in every two hours to look at her to make sure she’s breathing and OK. I visited several others and this one was less expensive. I think Morningside of Jackson is very clean.

this facility is way above average. the food IS good, the resident calls ARE responded to promptly, and there are many activities that residents can choose whether or not to participate in. the staff is fair and does not show favoritism to residents..and they certainly have been known to maintain their professionalism when demanding family members show their colors.. the nursing staff is unparalleled and the building is one of the cleanest I've ever seen. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my mother's care.

We took my parents around to look at several assisted living communities and they really liked Morningside of Jackson. They have a studio like apartment with a backdoor that opens up to a courtyard, so they were able to have their little dog with them, and Daddy is able to do a little gardening. They are well taken care of in there and I just love the staff.

As a family member of a resident, I have to disagree with some of the social worker's comments. Answer to resident calls is inconsistent, activities are well below those of similar facilities in Jackson. Access to the building after pm is difficult. Food is subpar. Staff is not always responsive to questions/complaints and calls to the corporate office go unreturned. It is not one of the better facilities in Jackson
