Two of the things that I love most about the dining options at Jackson Creek Memory Care are their crispy baked wings and the meatloaf! Nothing like a home cooked meal filled with flavor. Shoutout to their dining department. We were visiting our friend who resides there during lunch and they brought this out! So good. I recommend this place.
