Meet: Joni Jackson – Fletcher The Woods Assisted Living and At Home Care Doing what I do I have the wonderful opportunity to meet a wide variety of people and more often than not I’m amazed. This was definitely one of those times. Joni is the executive director of The Woods Assisted Living and The Woods at Home Care. She is responsible for the running and the care of the facility. In speaking with her it’s very clear as to why she was chosen for her position. Joni is such a beautiful soul. When speaking about her position at the facility, the love and compassion she has for her residents truly radiates from within. She is such a compassionate woman. Her love of God, her family and the ones she is charged to care for makes me proud to know that we have a unique opportunity here in our community to be able to trust the care of our loved ones to someone who will truly ensure that they are taken care of as her own. If you get the chance drop by The Woods and meet this lady for yourself, I promise you will be glad you did. Thank you Joni for all you do!
