My brother moved to Jennings Terrace a year ago. He absolutely loves it there. When it was time to find a place for him to live with help he now required, we had nothing in our own area that he could afford. These places wanted all if his income. But both his work pension & SS didn't cover their fees. Jennings wondetful staff helps him with his medications, all meals are included, they clean his room and wash his clothes. He is completely content there and I know he's safe there so I've peace of mind.
My dad has been at Jennings Terrace for over 12 years both on the nursing and sheltered side. He has had wonderful care and knows the staff and residents all by name. I am so thankful that he has a place to be with three meals a day, laundry service, house cleaning, activities and friendships. He is partially blind so he cannot drive anymore and I know when he is there he is safe and gets any help he needs. Jenny Latham
I have found the people that work at Jennings Terrace to really care about all residents that they care for. My mom has dementia and can be quite a handful to care for. Very agitated at times and the people that work there are so PATIENT with her. She started on the assisted living side and then moved to the nursing side. They were concerned on where she should have her new room. I also was able to bring a camera that I bought to monitor my mom. This camera was NOT to watch how she was being taken care of but to see what my mom was doing and how I could help her navigate what she is going thru. It has helped alot and I'm glad this is allowed at Jennings Terrace. I have found cleaning is on top of their list. It never smells like your typical nursing home. Talk to Ester
Placed my dad here temporarily because we had to move out of our apartment in a emergency, the Administrator JoMarie Silver decided to kick my blind, bed ridden father out when I asked if he could stay til the 13th of this month while I wait on approval for a new place! She also decided to tell his hospice nurse that she felt as if I dumped my dad there to keep his check! Who in the hell does she think she is? I took care of my mother 14 years until she took her final breath and I've been taking care of my father for the last 5 years I'm not sure about her family but we take care of ours until the end! Her attitude and unprofessional demeanor about the situation was very uncalled for and it definitely needs to be addressed. She has given me 24 hours to get my dad out of her facility! I set up payment with her staff Esther on yesterday but today she decides to tell my dad give her the $2,000 up front for him to stay there until the 13th that he couldn't be billed like every other resident there or he had to go when his hospice stay ends which is tomorrow!
During the last 2 years, I have two loved ones who live at Jennings Terrace. I am so happy that my loved ones live there. Everyone has been amazing and caring. It is so important to see the friendly and personal care and concern with which the Jennings staff relate. I get into a lot of care facilities. I have seen many places with high-class professional decorating and very low levels of love and compassion. Most facilities have been bought out by investment businesses. The focus is on their profit. At Jennings, the residents are Number One!
