Assisted Living Communities in Olive Branch, MS

"Southerland Place is an excellent facility. It's just a great place for my mom! It's a Brookdale facility. This is our choice for Mom because its location is better for us. The residents and the staff are both wonderful. My mom has a beautiful room with a nice view. It is also spacious. It just couldn't be nicer! They have a wide variety of activities for their residents. They have things for memory and cognitive skills. They have crosswords, puzzles of all kinds, etc. They have singing, Bible studies, and movies. "

"We loved Belmont Village Memphis. We are kind of leaning towards that community if their assessment of my father went well. It is a little bit smaller than the other place we visited. The staff was very caring, and some of the staff are crossover staff at the facility that my father is in right now, so he would already be familiar with several of their staff members. They have a room that's set up as a theater where they can watch movies. They have rooms set aside for different hobbies, whether it's painting or crafting. They have a gardening club that takes care of both vegetable-type plants as well as flowers. They have a library set up as well. They have a gaming room that's set up where they can go in and play cards or play bingo or what have you. They had quite a bit. There were different things set up. No matter what interest you have, they could provide an outlet for you to do that. The menu had many options. Everyone does not eat at the same time or you don't have to eat at the same time. Their dining room is open for like three hours for breakfast, two or three hours for lunch, and then two or three hours for dinnertime as well, so you can go within that timeframe at your convenience because some people are not always hungry at 5:00 in the afternoon. We liked that aspect of it a lot, too."

"I toured. I like the room, and the atmosphere seems to be OK. They told me they got a private dining room if you want to have friends, and they do the laundry if you want them to. They have three meals a day, and they have a nurse on duty 24 hours a day. They clean the room once a week. They take you to the doctors if you need to go, and they take you shopping sometimes; it's OK. I've known about this place for a long time, since they built it, and I know people that have lived there. They were happy with it."

"I moved into Story Point Cordova. I haven't found anything that affects my way of living negatively. It has a caring and supportive staff. The food is very good. A couple of meals were a miss, but I figured that when I cooked, I had missed too. They keep the facility very clean. You put your garbage out, and they pick it up and take it to the dumpster. It's very efficient, and housekeeping is once a week. They plan different trips and take you if you don't have a vehicle. They take you shopping, which is scheduled at the grocery store or Walmart. If you have a doctor's appointment, sign up with them, and they'll take you to the doctor and pick you up."

"I toured Foxbridge for my husband. I like the organization where they had separate cottages where each cottage had four rooms for patients, a living room and a dining room there, and a nurse's station. The rooms had two closets and a separate bathroom. The room is of generous size. The staff was very friendly, the admissions person was especially helpful, and everyone seemed very friendly. The residents seemed to be comfortable where they were. The safety was a plus because it's an eight-acre facility. It has an ornamental iron fence around it. It's secured by gates that have to be opened with security. The grounds are well landscaped, and their activities director uses the Montessori method, which is helpful to patients. I viewed some of the activities that patients had done, and they were quite artistic and very attractive. They've produced things for the tables, and they also produced things for their own rooms to decorate their doors or inside."

"We chose here for our mother, and we love the place. She's in the assisted living level and the staff members there are wonderful and really good. She's in a studio, it's really nice, and she really likes it. They also have options when it comes to the rooms. The staff helps the residents with everything. They also have a shop there and help them do their nails. They have a certified staff that does activities with them, they play bingo, do puzzles, there are bible studies, and tons of things. You name the activity and they have it."

"Providence Assisted Living of Senatobia is a smaller facility, but the employees are so enthusiastic. They really seem to care about the residents. I talked to several of them. They all said the same thing, that they take really good care of them. My dad has a one-bedroom with a living room, bathroom, and a kitchenette. They have multiple dining areas. They tend to have a big meal at noon and smaller meal at night. They have activities for them. They are taking him up-front to co-mingle with the people there. He's not just stuck in one area, and he could just get up and eat as well. They have to take him through the doors and stuff. They have been renovating rooms, and they'll put vinyl laminate in. They also have foot care come to the facility, somebody to do their hair, games, and events. The other thing which excited my dad, is that they will take them fishing in Arkabutla Lake. My sister can get to the place very easily and very quickly, but we were also very pleased with the staff. They are very caring and very energetic. I judge a lot based on the existing residents that I talked to, and they all seem to be very comfortable."

"I liked Silvercreek. I think it’s a really nice place. I checked everything they have. Their dining area is very nice. I can say that this place is top notch. "

"Nice community! Friendly home style feel. Great staff all around "

"I toured Culpepper Place. I liked everything about it. I liked the fact that the apartments had exterior doors to a patio, where residents could have their own patio chairs and a container garden, and, if they had pets, they could take them out. It had French doors for access to the exterior, and interior doors in the building down hallways. The dining room was nice. There were lined seats there. And if you didn't like what was on the menu, they would fix you something from the a la carte menu that day. If you didn't want to eat in the dining room, they would bring it to your apartment. They had a large activities room. When I was there, they were doing the morning devotion. They said it's also where they have TVs and other entertainment. It gave you a very homey atmosphere. When you walked in, there was a check-in center where you signed in and signed out as a visitor, and they also had the residents sign in and out."

"I went to this place called Tate's Home, which turned out to be a nightmare, so I got out of there as quickly as I can. Nothing nice to say there. With regards to food, a lot of times all you would get was a sandwich. Two pieces of bread, maybe some mayonnaise and mustard and some lunch meat. It just was what it was. I'm eating better out on my own than I was when I was there. Sometimes they would cook, and it would be good. It just certain things that went on there were just wrong. It was not my cup of tea, and it was not really meant to be. There were too many people in one home. I shared a room with three other men there, and it was a garage converted into a bedroom. It did not have central heat, and it did not have central air. I'm paying less money where I am now and living a lot better. With regards to activities, from time to time they would play word check, bingo or something, but I just did not participate."

"My mother has moved into Riverdale Assisted Living. The staff is very courteous and loving. The environment there is peaceful. The residents seem to enjoy each other's company. They have daily activities, which my mother is enjoying. She wasn't involved in any activities at all daily and was losing muscle mass because of that. Now she's regaining some of her strength. She is enjoying being in the company of her peers. She is benefiting from the daily activities that they do, and she is getting involved in those. She loves her room there. It's very peaceful for her. She tells all of the family that they look after her very well, and that they're nice. She said the food is really good. Due to the pandemic, their guidelines for visitations right now is very restrictive. They have set times and days that you can come and pre-arrange your visit. They give you a monthly calendar of activities, so that's very good. My mother is not very verbal all the time, so there may be other things she's doing that she has not just expressed. She has told us that she really enjoys bowling. They have exercises daily, and she is enjoying that. She is in a wheelchair, and they do the activities. The director there calls it sitter-cise. It's a beautiful facility. They have it well decorated. It's very inviting just as if you were in your own home. It is not a homey home, but like a beautiful home. The furnishings are modern and classic, and the colors are soft and welcoming. They even have a space that has a grand piano. One of the residents comes in, and she is a pianist. They have different rooms where you can take your loved ones to and sit and converge. The cafeteria is big, where they have most of their meals. It's big, and it's clean. She said the food is really good. The grounds are very well-kept and beautiful."

"Kirby Pines Estates is very nice. They're a bit more upscale so their operating cost is a bit higher. They're able to provide more amenities, plus they had both independent and assisted living. I was impressed with the whole setup of the community. The staff was wonderful, I didn't stay for dinner but they had an open-house and they served hors d'oeuvres. It was really awesome, it was very good and I was very impressed. Their apartments were really nice, and they were also getting ready to do even more improvements. If I had my choice of the places I have visited, this place would be my number 1 choice. They have all kinds of activities, they have bowling, swimming, travel groups, and so on."

"Walking in makes you feel like home it's cleaning smelling good and every one is really helpful . The atmosphere is nice , relaxing and perfect for a seniors . "
