Jonesboro Assisted Living Center sits on Highway 138 SE in Jonesboro, Georgia, and has 45 single-story apartment-style units where seniors can pick a private bedroom or apartment, and some of those have little kitchenettes, so folks who like a bit of their own cooking space get a choice. Residents bring their own furniture and keepsakes to help make things feel homey, which makes a difference to a lot of people. Folks have a variety of care plans that get tailored and checked on regularly, so if someone needs help with bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, staff is ready to help, and services like managing diabetes, bladder, or bowel issues get included too, with different cost levels depending on just how much help is needed.
Nicole Allen is the administrator, and Megan Diaz helps folks figure out the right care or financial questions they might have, and people can stay here as long as their care needs don't get to the point where they need a nursing home, and if it comes to that, they help with the move. The building's wheelchair accessible and one story, so it works for people with mobility issues, and there's an emergency call system available at all hours, plus security pads on all the exterior doors but no locked or secured units. Residents get to enjoy things like a community garden, a walk outside along paths, a spacious lounge, a garden just for relaxing, plus a movie night spot and an arts room for painting or crafts, which gives people something to do most days. There's an on-site salon and barber, and amenities like housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and phone service in the rooms make for an easier life for anybody who stays.
The kitchen staff and meal planners focus on tasty and nutritious meals, with all-day restaurant-style dining, and families are welcome to join their loved ones for meals for a small fee. Residents either live in a smaller private apartment, which costs $2,175 a month, or a larger one at $2,275 a month, and there's a $1,088 deposit if someone wants to hold an apartment for a couple of weeks. Staff checks each new resident's needs by working with their doctors to make sure that the right help gets put in place, and care levels get changed as folks' needs shift. There's strong focus on independence, but staff provides support with daily needs, medicine, mobility, and chores around the apartment whenever it gets needed. The facility's pet-friendly, offers high-speed internet, and encourages family involvement in residents' care plans. Residents can stay active and social because the staff lines up community activities and outings, along with special events or resident-run activities that help keep folks engaged.
The place doesn't have secured memory care, but there's 24-hour supervision and a call system for emergencies, along with an emphasis on comfort and an environment that feels more like home for people who want that kind of setting. The facility's operated by an LLC, holds a BBB A+ rating, and has been a member of the assisted living community provider group since 2006. The setup aims to offer as much independence as possible while making sure help's always there when it's needed and life stays comfortable.
