We would highly recommend Jenni Lynn. Our mother is very happy there. The only problems we have seen are staff turnover and sometimes a shortage of staff. We picked it at the time because it was close to family and it had a comfortable, homey atmosphere.

Everyone, staff and residents, are really nice. They are quick to address any issue. I feel my mother is in a loving, caring, supportive place. Yes, I would recommend Jenni-Lynn to anyone.

Jenni Lynn really made a hard time for our family easier. We never worried about the care she was receiving there. We knew how loved she was by the staff and that they were always watching out for her. We would recommend them to anyone.

If the "community" is the facility, It offers a wide variety of activities and opportunities to engage with fellow residents. It is attractive and has a comfortable atmosphere. The staff are friendly and caring. We picked this facility also because of its proximity to family members. We are very pleased with Jenni Lynn and would highly recommend it.

Last week of my loved one's life she was brought back from hospital on a Monday. I came to visit Tuesday, she was soaking in her urine, even pillow was soaked, she was freezing and could not move. Someone had brought her breakfast but did not check her. She died several days after the urine incident.

I think this a good and friendly community. The staff communication with the family has been really good when we have questions. There are three meals a day served, and there are choices for for the residents to choose from. Some of the care they are to provide includes: medication management, dressing and bathing assistance, and hygiene care.

The care services have been good. There are no complaints about the food. The activities director is fabulous, patient, and knows all of the residents by name. We picked this community, because of the friendliness of the people and its affordability. It would be nice if they added, a follow-up meeting after 4-6 weeks, to make sure things are going well with each individuals loved one. They are always available if I have any questions or concerns.

I love Jenni- Lynn facility and so does my mom and family members who have visited. They have an amazing social director who has a full calendar of events with a huge variety. There is a physician who visits weekly and he sends me an email update on my moms condition and medications. The grounds are clean and safe. I would highly recommend the facility to other families looking.

We toured with Jenni-Lynn and the residents were more like assisted living not independent, they needed a lot more care. And the décor was very dated. It was depressing.
I am a 3rd party vendor that frequents JenniLynn at least once weekly. I find it to be an excellent provider of senior services. They have a vibrant activity schedule. The staff is focused on the clinical and personal aspects of care to a great degree. They are very good at reaching out to families and to clinical care in a timely and thorough fashion. It’s a great place for mom (and dad)!

I had a scheduled tour at Jenni-Lynn, but no one was there to greet me when I walked in the door. I waited about 15 minutes. Still no one came to see what I needed, so I had to go find someone to help me. The man who ended up giving the tour didn't even invite me to sit down. He talked with me standing up the whole time, which I thought was odd. I had to ask to see a room. The facility was much older than others we looked at. It just wasn't the place for us.

Nice community and good pricing. We thought it could use a renovation.

We chose Jenni-Lynn because it is a smaller community and we just felt that it would be the best fit for her. It feels like a very homey and comfortable place. There are about 50 residents and it is all one level. The activities are great, they have an activities director that is wonderful and keeps them busy. They do exercise classes twice a week, games, they have entertainment that comes in, etc. There is something going on all the time. My loved one is doing very well and likes it here, it feels like a family. We would definitely recommend the facility to others.

Based on our tour experience, I would not recommend Jenni-Lynn to others. The facility looked old and run down and needed major updates.

Jenni-Lynn was very helpful and worked with us to get my Mom settled in. The experience has been very positive and they are taking good care of her.

We were not as impressed with Jenni-Lynn. The facility looked older and was not as updated as we would have liked.
I was not very impressed with Jenni-Lynn. The facility just looked run down and it was kind of smelly.
Jenni-Lynn was the first place that I wrote off immediately. The facility is very outdated and needs a lot of renovations. It also just smelled like an old folks home. It was not going to be a good fit for my loved one.

A Place for Mom has scored Jenni-Lynn 9.1 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
