25 Independent Living Facilities near Jackson, MI

I have been so grateful for Green Acres!!! It has taken a lot of pressure off from me knowing my mother is getting such great care! I wish there would have been more detail given verbally and in paper form regarding day to care, activities and procedures. We were told that the toilet paper was to be provided but it has not been done on a regular basis so we have resorted to buying our own. I also wonder how much my mother is being engaged in the activities they provide. Besides those couple of things I have been overall very happy to have found Green Acres and would highly recommend it to others.

What we really like about Island City Assisted Living community is that I know my Dad is in a safe environment and being well cared for. They also communicate well with the family.

Trellis Gardens, the memory care facility at Vista Grande Villa (VGV), was the perfect choice for our mother who suffers from late onset Alzheimer's. Each resident has their own room and we were able to bring in her own bed and furniture. This helped to make the transition from her home to VGV much easier and less stressful. She has been there for about 1-1/2 months now and members of her family visit on a daily basis. The staff are always friendly and responsive to the residents' needs. Our mother and her room are always clean. From the beginning we were encouraged to bring any questions or concerns immediately to staff and have found them to be genuinely concerned and responsive. The memory care facility only has about 14 or 15 resident rooms which is one of the reasons we chose VGV (a more homey atmosphere). There is a TV lounge, dining area, small kitchenette, and enclosed courtyard for the residents to enjoy. Quarterly meetings with the nurse supervisor helps to keep us informed and to ask any questions we may have. I like that all administrative staff, from the director to the staff on the floor have an open door policy. Having checked out several care facilities in the Jackson area, I would say that the cost is towards the upper end of what I consider the normal range for Alzheimer's care facilities, but well worth the peace of mind and feeling that our mother is getting the best care possible. I am glad we chose VGV.
