our families experience, would recommend, friendly staff, overall a nice community, etc

1-8 all 5's if I could I'd give them a 10. The staff and administrators are wonderful, they're always calling me about daddy if he has issues no matter how big or small. They are constantly checking on him in and out of the room about every hour or so. They make sure he comes out of his room to eat. They wash his close every day not just once a week and he gets a shower with assistance every other day. No matter where you go in the place it smells clean, no urine or poop smells. I just can't praise them enough and what makes it even easier is the all inclusive price. Since he's moved there we have been able to relax and not worry because he has the care he needs.

Folks with Memory challenges are nurtured in our new memory care (Alzheimers-Dementia) community affectionately known as the Rose Garden. This state of the art building is designed with a focus on resident well being and peace of mind. Lastly, we have our skilled nursing wing with a dedicated and experienced staff of registered nurses and aids.

Great Place

The Orchard Continuing Care Retirement Community is a nice facility with an organized system to take great care of their residents. I feel that my mother is well taken care of and has a great deal of space to walk around during the day inside and outside. She's not confined to a small space like she would be in other facilities. She seems happier and more social. I would recommend The Orchard Continuing Care Retirement Community to others.

"Only if you want the VERY BEST care for your Mom!"

This is an extraordinarily excellent facility. A real "caring" environment. Right down to the custodial and kitchen staff.

My Tour Experience at The Orchard Continuing Care Retirement Community

The person who gave us the tour was probably a little too sober for us. But she gave us very accurate information allowing us to make an informed decision.

A great fit for my parents

My parents are very happy with the facility, the staff that work there, as well as the other residents. The quality of care has been excellent. They have also been very pleased with the meals. When you go down at breakfast you are offered cereal or a full breakfast. They then have 2 meal options at lunch and at dinner they can have a soup or sandwich or both. Or they can switch the lunch and dinner meals if they prefer. They do offer a lot of activities. We did price checking and they had the best value for the money. I would absolutely recommend The Orchard to others looking.

Tour of The Orchard

Four of my long-time friends and I met for lunch in the dining room with the residents and then a tour of the Orchard. The meal was delicious and the residents all seemed like a big happy family. I was very impressed with the entire facility. The apartments are larger than I expected and have a lot of storage space as well. There are so many types of activities and beautiful garden areas. I can definitely see myself living at the Orchard.

Care for Jean Greer

Our aunt was in the Orchard for seven years and in the [community name removed] for just over one year. In both places, the care and attention she received was excellent. I am her nephew and am more familiar with the [community name removed] because I was not living in MS during the time she was in the Orchard. The care givers in the [community name removed] have been absolutely exceptional and we could not have expected more. I especially want to commend your head nurse and receptionist. They are two of the most caring, compassionate, and loving people I have ever met who always go the extra mile to care of your residents. The [community name removed] is very fortunate to have both of them. My sister and I will forever love and appreciate the staff at the [community name removed]. You were a true blessing at a very difficult time in our lives. God bless all of you.

The Orchard a welcoming experience

Recently had an opportunity to visit The Orchard and was impressed by the friendliness of both the Staff and Residents. The facility is decorated in a manner that uses both color and light to provide a cheery environment particularly in the new Rose Garden section. Had a very good lunch in the Dining Room with the food being both tasty and plentiful and the staff helpful. There appears to be a wide choice of activities to keep the Residents involved and challenged. In summary my first visit to The Orchard was encouraging and provides a platform for future visits

My tour review

This community was a higher level of care than what my loved one needed at the moment. I have revisited and considered this community due to my loved ones care needs growing. the person giving the tour was not as personable and it was very quick. Also the guide did not work in that building initially and was not as knowledgeable about the everyday ins and outs.

beautiful new memory care community for men and women

Was delighted to visit the new Rose Garden Memory Care building at The Orchard! It is state-of-the-art and provides such a calming and open atmosphere. Both the private and semi private rooms are spacious with tall ceilings. The public spaces are beautifully decorated. The courtyards are lovely. Best of all is the Community Relations Director who greets visitors and interacts with residents - [name removed] is always joyful and sets the tone for the wonderful compassionate care.

delightful & reassuring

“I recently toured the newly-constructed state of the art memory care building – what a beautiful setting, floor to ceiling windows bathing the halls with wonderful light. The outdoor courtyard is such a wonderful place to visit with a loved one. We enjoyed Chef [name removed] delicious lunch and bake goods. It’s refreshing to know that this place has made the struggles of memory care a little less daunting, and more nurturing.”

Great value for a premier full service Continuing Care Retirement community

The Orchard is the only private Continuing Care Retirement Community in the Jackson area that is a rental model (verses St. Catherines -where you have to purchase your unit). It offers large Independent Living apartments with high ceilings and huge closets!!! Many of them have balconies or patios. The Assisted Living units are spacious and can accommodate singles or doubles. The Nursing Care is well staffed and clean. The Memory Care is very very nurturing and housed in a sweet little rose garden. It currently can't accommodate men; but I'm told they are building 60 new memory care units in order to accommodate men as well as ladies on the waiting list. For the price, The Orchard is great value. They have good food (always offering a homemade dessert or ice cream) and served by a gracious wait staff on white table cloths. The residents are so cute - always dressed up with their lipstick and jewels. They are happy to talk to visitors and share their experience at The Orchard. I was really impressed.
