Brookdale Jackson Oaks

Some of the staff is wonderful but some of the staff isn't so great. It's hit or miss. I would recommend it and the memory care building is fairly new. The assisted living part is pretty old though.

Wellington Manor Jackson

4.0
Mom is overall enjoying Wellington Manor. She still talks about wanting to live at her home & that's why she is not completely content there. When [name removed] left I was worried it would not be as good as it was before but the new administrator is very attentive and doing a great job.
