The place it self is not that bad its the administrator his name is brent i wanted to discuss some issues that my aunt said had like brent the administrater would have housekeeping go through her things when we explicitly told him we did not want them to and thing came up missing and he came in with a attitude right away and said he is not concerned with what we want its his place so we have to follow what he wants and was very disrespectful and the next day i found out the wheeled my aunt around without pants and just a blanket on her lap cause they "lost her clothes"

My mom went for rehab and didn't want to go home. They are so good to her and she loves it there.

The staff at JDLC is top notch. They love their residents and their community. The therapy department does an excellent job of caring for patients and has an outstanding reputation in returning patients to home after an acute illness.

Horrible!! My Mother was a Resident for 4 years. Administration is the worst! They turn a blind eye to the problems. Administrator puts puzzles together at work, instead of doing his job. Treats Employees terribly. Food is horrific! They do not care about addressing problems. Took my Mother out as soon as I could get her in another Facility when instead of trying to improve, it went downhill. Don't believe the hype!
