Jonesboro Assisted Living Center

Overview of Jonesboro Assisted Living Center

Jonesboro Assisted Living Center is an assisted living community in Jonesboro, GA, where residents receive help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while living in their own apartment. With 45 beds, it is a smaller community and may suit a resident who prefers a setting where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Five Star Dining provides a cafe-like dining experience, and the outdoor courtyard gives residents an on-site place to spend time outdoors. Activities include arts & crafts, movie nights and church services, with a theatre room, library, beauty shop and wheelchair van also available. A Walk Score of 47 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. Ms. Samantha Allen serves as the administrator, and Maghan Diaz is the director.
