Welcomed with open arms!

Overall my experience with Joy Assisted and the admin [name removed] was good. My father was the problem, he didn't like how far he was from smoking area being in a wheelchair, the room was too small he hated it and was there 3 days. As for the food, he said it was fine but didn't get much feedback on that due to him being there 3 days.. so I don't have much for you, it just smelt like old people and urine but I assume that going to be anywhere you go with assisted living but [name removed] was amazing and was very

I love Joy Asisted Living

I am a resident of Joy Asisted Living. I have lived here for 3 1/2 years. It is like living in with a large family. The owner has been supportive of me the whole time I have lived here. She has helped me through some difficult times. The staff are very caring. They go the extra mile. They are team workers keeping things running smoothly. My room is wonderful. It is very comfortable. It is definitely my home. The staff and I tell each other we love one another. It makes my heart happy. I do feel loved and cared abou

home with the help you need

They have been very helpful in overall care. The facility has beautiful spacious rooms, but there are some rough areas under renovation since moving in. There aren't many activities, but the ones they have are engaging and heartfelt. My mother says she would like some different food/choices, but is satisfied overall.

If you're looking for a place that's basically room and board, that's the experience we had here.

I know they were short-staffed. And I know Covid had a lot to do with it. We had to make appointments to go and visit, and we couldn't see her room. It was just kind of unhandy. And my loved one needed a little more attention than I thought they were able to provide.

I enjoyed the staff and the residents, but you could tell that the owners did not put much money back into the facility. It was pretty run down, with older furniture with rips and tears and poor lighting in the little common areas. The siding was green and needed to be power washed. The staff were very nice. Not a lot of activities compared to other communities.
