Caring and attentive staff

What the facility lacks in modernization is more than made up for by staff care and friendliness. They are quick to communicate any health issues that occur, respond immediately to ensure resident safety, and follow up rapidly to concerns raised by residents or family members.

Friendly place

Everyone there is very nice! My dad is very happy there. I am told the food is great and they keep my father very busy. The facility is also very clean. Residents are also very friendly and happy to be there.

Jennings Terrace review

Jennings Terrace in Aurora was such a good fit for [name removed]. She has her own room and [name removed] loves that it's quiet. It's very inexpensive yet the staff, dining/food, and plenty of activities are all included. Thank you!!

The Right Fit for my Mom

A huge thank you to the staff at Jennings Terrace. My 99 year old mom recently moved into the sheltered care there. The staff are incredibly kind, knowledgeable and sensitive to residents and their families. 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. We decorated my mom's room

Horrible administrator

The administrator in this building is horrible!! I was in this building visiting my mother and I heard screaming down the hallway. As I peeked through the door I saw a thin lady with white hair yelling obscenities at somebody as she made her way back to her office. Food was also horrible, the portions are insanely small even for these people!
