My parents are doing so well here in the memory care. The staff makes sure that they take part in the activities, and join them in the dining room and my parents like the food. They have a very nice room together and I know that my parents are safe and that the memory care is well secured. My father had walked out of another community so that has become a real concern for me but here I know that he is safe. I would definitely recommend scheduling a tour of this community.
I would recommend to a friend. My mama is involved in many activities and has met so many nice people there.
My loved one is currently a resident at Charter Senior Living of Jackson. Overall, things at this facility have been very good to great. Communication with the family has been good, but there is always room for improvement with communication. I have and will continue to recommend this facility to others.
