DIRE WARNING ! If you, family, friend require skilled services (nursing, therapies significant assistance) this facility and it's owner, Presbyterian Homes and Services is NOT CAPABLE or COMPETENT to provide such services even though they represent such. MDH is refusing to properly regulate. I had cared for my father for 2.5 years, it became necessary to find him a "skilled nursing facility". Nov. 2024 JS was rated by Medicare as 5 star, with no red flags, that rating is dropping fast. My dad took up residence after being in the VAMC for one month, he was doctor orders and referred for skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy... Not only were these services whoafully inadequate. The org , via therapy department manipulated my father off of his Medicare (advantage plan) benefit, so they could profit greater from providing these utterly worthless services directly from Medicare. And to a great extent, the services were not provided, but billed for. Financial and emotional abuse.... Led to neglect, neglect became so severe my dad developed a stage 4 pressure ulcer which became 'facility MRSA infected'. I was back home in Phoenix and was not informed about my father's severe condition, not even at a family care conference just 2 weeks prior to my sister discovering the wound on my father's buttock as he told her he was in pain. ( photos are graphic, but you must see what this facility is capable of doing to an at risk adult). ** 11/25/25, had to remove photos so Google would allow the review. Photos were of a stage IV pressure ulcer, very graphic) It took 3 days for the facility to get him into the ER at Regions Hospital. Medical staff told us his odds of surviving this wound were not good. After 23 days in the hospital and trying to every possible measure for recovery, my dad died of sepsis, sepsis shock and organ failure as a result of the severe infection. I warn you, if you have an at risk adult, the best possible care can only come from those who love that individual. It's very difficult to take care of an elder who can no longer manage his own body. 9 out of 10 nursing homes nationwide are merely an early death sentence for at risk adults. Greed, corruption, faux evangelical fronts, ignorance, indifference, incompetence and downright stupidity are commonplace. I urge you to do significant research prior to placing an at risk adult in any nursing home. Here in the region, Google 'Elder Voice, and 25 Common Problems with Nursing Homes' , for some initial information. If you find it necessary to place an at risk adult, hire a competent elder law attorney to advise and attend the intake session. What you don't know will be used to manipulate and abuse your loved one. *If you've had or know of an at risk adult(s) who have been abused, neglected, harmed or killed by Presbyterian Homes and Services... Please contact me !

My father has been living at Johanna Shores for 11/2 years. We cannot say enough great things about the living environment, the well maintained grounds and gardens with beautiful trails and flowers. Most importantly the employees and care givers have been fantastic. We are grateful for this beautiful environment and great care for my father.

We recently moved into The Brownstones at Lake Johanna Shores. We love the spacious apartment, along with heated garage and storage unit. Our new neighbors are very welcoming and inclusive. The staff is the best. All have been welcoming, helpful and wanting to ensure our transition to new home is as good as it can be. The campus grounds are beautiful, we are so happy we are here to enjoy fall on this lakeside campus. Best is the Christian culture that shows through from the staff. We are thankful for Johanna Shores.

My parents have been at Johanna Shores for over five years, and I can’t say enough positive things about this wonderful community. Set on the picturesque shores of Lake Johanna, the facility itself is beautiful and tranquil—a perfect place for all stages of senior living. Johanna Shores offers an impressive range of services, from independent and assisted living to transitional care, nursing, and memory care. This variety allows residents to easily transition to different levels of care as their needs evolve, providing peace of mind for both them and their families. The amenities are top-notch, too. My parents enjoy access to a swimming pool, fitness classes, and a range of social events—from speaker series and card clubs to happy hours and other gatherings. There is something for everyone, and it truly feels like a vibrant community. But the heart of Johanna Shores is its exceptional staff. They are genuinely caring and go above and beyond to make residents feel at home. The team’s dedication, compassion, and warmth make all the difference, and I am grateful my parents are in such capable hands. Even though I hope I won’t need these services for many years, I’ve put my name on the waitlist, just in case. I highly recommend Johanna Shores to anyone looking for a supportive, engaging, and beautiful place for their loved ones—or themselves—to call home.

We have lived at Johanna Shores for 18 months in the independent apartments. We have found the staff exceedingly helpful and supportive. We were quickly welcomed into the community in our building. We feel secure knowing we will have life-long graduated care at this facility. The campus has beautiful flower gardens and is situated on the shores of Lake Johanna. We highly recommend living at Johanna Shores Presbyterian Home!!
