What to Consider About Assisted Living in Corinth
Mississippi’s Gateway City, Corinth, lies in the northeast corner of the state. Seniors enjoy small-town charm and hospitality with easy access to the big-city amenities in nearby Memphis, Nashville and Birmingham. Abundant recreational opportunities are found 20 minutes away at Pickwick Lake, with over 90 miles of shoreline.
Corinth is home to a sizeable senior population, with nearly 19% of the city’s 14,500 residents aged 65 and older. For those who require 24-hour assistance while enjoying as independent a lifestyle as possible, Corinth offers two personal care homes. The Mississippi Division of Health Facilities Licensure and Certification oversees such facilities in the state.
