Key Review Excerpts
“It isn't as fancy as some of the more expensive places but it is the real deal! I got such a hard sell at some of the other facilities we looked at that I started to get really put off by it. Jennings' staff are true professionals and they are there for the residents in a sincere way.”
“They may not have all the frills like some places, but they have big hearts and lots of care.”
