Joyful Senior Living

My mother in law has been a resident at Joyful Living for just a few months, but we are so happy we found this lovely place for her to live! Gino and Jessica are very kind, loving and committed owners, and they are very attentive to the needs of the residents and do a good job of keeping in touch with us. I especially love that it’s a small homey place, always clean and tidy. They offer lots of fun and creative activities for them to do. My mother in law especially likes the music and dancing! It is a relief to know that she is happy and well-cared for here.

For us, it was a difficult decision to place our mother in a nursing home, but it became increasingly clear, due to deepening dementia and multiple falls that she needed more care than we could give her. My sister-in-law found Joyful Senior Living. The Christian atmosphere of this home is the best place for her. Gino and Jessica have worked with our family to make my mother comfortable there. They have kept us informed about her health and activities and by their questions to us, they really know her. I live over 400 miles from the home, I am in touch with Gino and Jessica through zoom, email and text and feel comfortable about my mom’s living situation. Any time I call about a problem, usually that my mother’s phone battery needs to be charged, the issue is swiftly taken care of. I would recommend Joyful Senior Living to anyone who has to place a loved one in a nursing home.

Most importantly, the owners are great. They are sincere, organized, and very involved in the day-to-day management of the home. They hire staff in part based on their level of compassion for the residents. The home and rooms are beautiful and tastefully decorated. The food is very good. There is real interest in helping residents do more of what they like to do. Communication has been terrific, with honest answers to questions and proactive notifications for important matters. I can relax knowing that my loved one is being well cared for in a home that she enjoys.

I cannot say enough positive things about this community! My mother was in a facility where she was receiving adequate care. However, she was really slipping away from us because she needed more mental and physical stimulation. Once CoVid became part of the mix, she declined socially as well. We began searching for a place where she could get what her soul needed as well as the quality of physical care. The first day we visited Joyful Senior Living, I was immediately struck with the warmth that naturally flowed from Gino and Jessica. They have a heart to serve those in need of this level of care and to reach out to the families that are going through what can be a very difficult transition. They truly take the time to listen to the needs of the resident and implement the necessary steps to meet those needs. Mama has flourished under the care she has received in this home. It was so wonderful to see her blossom again as she was able to interact on a personal level again. We actually have videos of her singing! How well the name "Joyful" fits this home! The entire staff is so attentive and caring. They make sure that she receives physical activity everyday. The food is cooked right there in the beautiful kitchen and served fresh in a lovely and comfortable dining room. All the rooms are well lit with much natural light as well as supplemental lighting where needed. This home has been a great blessing to our family and specifically, Mama. We are all so very thankful for such a unique and caring place!

Joyful Senior Living! This is where our 97 year old mother now lives and there absolutely could not be a better name, for this facility, because the proprietors Jessica and Gino (along with their amazing staff), offer just that for our mother. She is, truly, experiencing joyful living! It is the best decision we could have made for our mother, where she could no longer be safe to live on her own. In the short time she has been living at Joyful Senior Living, she has been truly respected and loved and challenged physically, mentally, and emotionally to be the best she can be! Anyone who needs to make the decision to have their loved one live somewhere, besides their home, please look no further. You will be so blessed when you meet Jessica, Gino, and the staff.

My 97 year old mother was admitted to your Joyful Senior Living Facility in Huntersville, NC the first of June 2020 - At this point & time, her physical condition was requiring more one on one care - I cannot begin to tell you what a blessing you & your facility have been & continue to be with my mother - First of all, your facility is very clean & spacious - All rooms are bright & airy with plenty of room to move around & be very comfortable for residents & family members while visiting their loved ones - There is plenty of room for walker & wheelchair accessibility inside & out - All activity areas have been covered well along with very nice locked fencing around the back yard for security purposes, spacious dining area along with fresh food being cooked in the kitchen every day, you have daily activities which include brain exercise (which I believe is essential for dementia patients), along with individual physical therapy that is needed for each individual resident - Overall, you give continued care for my mother to accommodate every need she may have - The loving care you & your special staff give her each & every day is absolutely wonderful! You have been “God Sent” to my mother - I love & appreciate you so very much for all you do! You certainly have a special gift for anyone who is looking for special care given to their loved ones! God bless each & every one of you from the bottom of my heart!

I toured this facility and was gladly surprised how cozy and friendly it looks. Their staff welcomed us, showed us the facility and responded to our questions very politely. We liked the spacious and bright rooms, their kitchen area and their outdoor space. Their location is also very convenient to all the Lake Norman area. I feel like in a small facility like this one my dad will have a more personalized service and closer supervision. I will definitely recommends others to tour Joyful Senior Living. It is now in the top of our list.

I had the opportunity to tour Joyful Senior Living shortly after it opened and was very impressed with what I found. The home is full of light, making it bright and cheery...something I would definitely need in a place I want to call home. I received a warm welcome from the staff and a resident who happened to be in the common area. I casually quizzed the resident about the home and she had nothing but good things to say about it, including how attentive the staff were and how good the food was. She liked being able to go outside and quietly sit in the enclosed back yard and just watch the traffic go by. Watching the staff interact with the resident, you could tell they had already created a close bond between them. Staff truly cared for the resident, meeting her needs in advance, yet still gently challenging her to physically rise to her highest level capable. I've been in a lot of long-term care communities over the years. And Joyful Senior Living is definitely a place I would consider for placement for someone who required the assisted living level of care.

I had the opportunity of visiting JSL facilities. Highly impressed by the first-class accommodations, truly feels like a home for people living there. Everything is modern and clean. Rooms are spacious and furniture is new. Nice patio and backyard for relaxing and enjoying outdoors. Modern kitchen, that will make their meals more enjoyable. Friendly, knowledgeable staff on site as well as amazing owners (Jessica and Gino), make this a great alternative for senior living.

We recently moved our 84yr. old mother from a larger Assisted Living Facility. Mom was needing more one-on-one care with her Dementia. We didn't want just another large ALF and she didn't need a Skilled Nursing Facility. What we were looking for was a smaller place with a higher caregiver-to- resident ratio. A place that could give our mother the loving care she needs. Already we feel blessed to have found Joyful Senior Living! From the moment we visited their Assisted Living Home, we knew we had found the right place for our mom! Even though Mom is still settling into her new home, we can't say enough good things about the owners, Jessica and Gino ,and their special staff ,who have been so attentive,loving and caring of our mom. We can already see her improving and thriving under their care. Covid adds a whole other element to her current care. At JSL, abiding by all current restrictions, we are able to actually visit with our mom.(Something we had been unable to do until now.) It is obvious visiting with her has lifted her spirits greatly! She also is enjoying the company of the other residents. The freshly cooked food smells wonderful when we visit and mom is eating very well! The home itself is lovely and has been set up to more than adequately meet the needs of the residents. Another big plus for us is the fenced-in patio and backyard which allows Mom to be outside as much as she wants (something else she couldn't do before!). It also allows us to visit with her more than one at a time, also a blessing!...I would not hesitate to recommend JSL to anyone who is looking for that Special place that will be able to give your loved one the care and attention they deserve. We are looking forward to a long, happy relationship with the new "family" we have found here!

My 97yo mother is happily a resident and is receiving exemplary care by the impressive staff, who are kind, attentive, and thorough. The home is relatively new, extremely well maintained and clean. Its design has been thoughtful, not only functionally for residents and visitors, but even for visiting children. From my experience, this is a great find for anyone needing personalized assisted living. I highly recommend it.

Recently my mother and I went to tour Joyful Senior Living and we were very impressed! The home is beautiful, clean, warm, and inviting. The staff is very attentive to the residents and genuinely care about their happiness and well being. There are so many things the residents can enjoy. For example a good book being read to them or listening to a musician playing on their beautiful grand piano in the main family room. The Joyful Senior Living is definitely a place I will consider for my father.
