My experience with John Joseph Place has been nothing short of exceptional. My personal circumstances made it very challenging to care for my ailing mother when my father passed away and JJP helped me through a very difficult time by providing the support and guidance through the transition process from home to retirement community. This is not what I expected assisted living to be like. There is a real sense of community and the staff and management exhibit genuine empathy for the residents. My mother often pocket dials me and I get a first-hand view at the interactions between residents and staff. The staff are always going out of their way to provide for the little things that make a difference in quality of life. I don’t see lip service or promises, what I see are concrete actions that improve her mood and health on a daily basis. The team at JJP have their hands full with my mother (as I’m sure they each have their own stories), but they manage each day with professionalism and care. They regularly interact with me and proactively support my mother’s emotional and physical well- being. It’s the little things that matter- whether its engaging in activities or sharing stories, I can tell that the team cares. I truly thank the management and all staff at JJP for the love they put into caring for my mother’s needs. I thank them for helping and supporting me through this difficult process, and because of their efforts, I am able to spend more quality time with my mother. If one of your loved ones is approaching this stage in their lives, I highly recommend considering JJP as the place for this next phase.

The day I walked into John Joseph Place to submit my resume I stood at the front desk taking it all in. I was greeted by residents and staff who all looked very happy and were willing to answer all my questions. The atmosphere was cheery, clean and inviting. There were residents out enjoying activities and looking at their activity calendar I could see they were kept very busy! Standing there I had a good feeling about John Joseph Place, it felt " homey" I am proud to say I am now a proud member of the JJP family! The staff are amazing, they're compassionate, professional and knowledgeable. The meals are fantastic and they fo cater to specific diets and special requests. The management and activity coordinator go above and beyond their call of duty in many ways and always striving to improve. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for care of a loved one or a great job opportunity! John Joseph Place is not just retirement living it truly is our home. Kristine Morden psw
