Assisted Living Communities in Gulfport, MS

"We've moved my father-in-law to The Blake at Biloxi. They are very attentive to detail. The place is exceptionally clean. They have lots of activities available for the veterans. His room is beautiful. They don't come furnished, so you get to put your personal touches on them, which was nice. It's like he has his own room at home. The place is very updated, very nice, and very high-end looking. The food is as good as any local restaurant you go to. We visit and have lunch with him often, and it's phenomenal. They have a chef there, and he's really good. They do movie nights, they have a piano in there, and they have singers come in and do entertainment on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. They have a bus that will take them to local restaurants during the day to go eat. They have a sign-up sheet to go to Walmart if they want to. They have Silver Sneakers, or whatever it's called, where they do some exercise thing. Each month, they'd explore different countries, so all the decorations and all of the events will be things about Greece or Italy or Taiwan, or whichever country they want. It's pretty interesting how they do that. And they involve the residents in all of that."

"My husband & I went by Lemoyne Place Facility unexpectedly on a Saturday in Jan 2013. We were greeted by happy smiling staff who gave us a tour of the entire facility. We were very pleased with everything. My Mother has been a resident for 6 months. She enjoys her private room, associating with residents her age, mealtimes with everyone, activities at facility & their outings to eat & shop, & very attentive staff & nurse 24/7. The owner is very respected by staff & nurses & owner respects her employees. The owner is very much a "hands on" person & stays totally up-to-date on residents & all situations. "

"My mom was at Dunbar Village for rehab last year. She seemed to have a high opinion of the staff, being friendly and helpful. The gym that they had for rehab was basic; it wasn't that fantastic. They got the people gather for community type of stuff, like on holidays and all that. They made it a big deal about decorating the place, and she enjoyed that. Overall, she said it was a friendly and good experience. I never really got to go in, but when we visited her, they had a front lobby as a visiting area due to COVID. She was on the ground floor, so you could go in, look in and wave to her. The room looked nice. The place looked clean and neat, too. It was in a relaxing area and not an overly busy main street. There was greenery around, they kept the outside lawn manicured, just a neighborhood kind of thing. She loved the food. She said breakfast wasn't that much, but lunch and dinner were normally outstanding."

"Mom moved to Kare Med Assisted Living. It is small and homelike, because it's actually a house, so I like that. They have very few people and they seem very caring. They serve three meals a day and they also assist with feeding. Most of them are in hospice. I felt like Mom has excellent care. We actually had my ex-husband there right before he passed away. They dine at a kitchen table. They only have five residents at the time and they have to hand feed Mom. She very rarely feeds herself. The residents change so quickly. When I first called to get Mom in they did not have availability, and before she was out of her rehab they called and said they had an opening. Kare Med Assisted Living is your average home. La-Z-boy's in the living room with a TV. It's decorated nicely. They've got antique furniture in several places, and my mother loved antiques. I think it's a good value for the money."

"They take good care of you in The Gardens, and the staff is very helpful. I'm in a room with a bath, but they also have 2-bedroom units with a private bathroom, and there are smaller rooms that share a bathroom. The food is great here, we have all kinds of crafts, and there's a bus that take us to places like the Walmart; they keep us busy. The grounds are well taken care of, and they have grass cutters that come twice a month. It's just a very well-maintained place."

"My father would be moving into Lighthouse Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's pretty much a brand new facility, but they have their patients in cottages. There are like six people to a cottage with a common room and a kitchen and stuff. They have their own room with a living room and a small kitchen if they want to choose to cook something or do something. And then they have a bedroom and a huge bathroom with a walk-in shower. They have means whereby they have to check on them and put eyes on them every two hours. They administer their medicines, which is pretty much common, I'm sure. They provide the laundry service, washing their laundry, folding it, and bringing it back to them. They prepare their food. They have a dietitian and a nurse practitioner on staff. They have an activity director and an event planner. Just really anything he possibly could need or want. They seem to be very attentive to the people living there. One of the big things was that it didn't have the feel of a hospital-type facility. It's just a wonderful facility and it's got excellent reviews. There's a cook in every cottage so they can better fix their special food if need be. They have a van that takes them to the theater. Sometimes they take them to other places, and they take them to the doctor. It's just all-around an awesome place. The staff who gave me the tour was just amazing with putting our concerns to rest about having to relocate him because one day, he's okay with it, and the next day, he's not. She is helping us deal with how to handle that with them."
