The Best Assisted Living Communities in Rankin County, MS

"This place is top notch! Answer to our Prayers...Try them out you will be glad you did! "

"The very first time I went to this facility to visit my grandmother, I thought it was a fairly good place to be, given the fact that it was a retirement home. Little did I know that the elderly aren't too keen on being in such places. The staff was always around, but didn't seem to be around. Perhaps they were giving all visitors time with their loved one. My grandmother didn't seem to enjoy being there, despite the various activities they held on daily basis. The food menu was exemplary. I would say that besides the hospital like smell that permeated throughout the facility, it was a pretty decent place. My grandmother did after a year however, decide to leave the facility and return home. Home being Hawaii. "

"If you're looking for excellent customer service, and superb resident care. Harmony Court Assisted Living is where you want to reside. The meals are delicious, very friendly staff! "

"The Quarters Assisted Living was very favorable. It's convenient and closely located to my mother. It was clean and a nice facility. The man who toured me was excellent. He answered all of my questions, whether it was relevant or not. I was able to go and look at different parts of the facility, and I was pleased with what I found. The room was perfect for my aunt. They had an exercise room and nice grounds. If you wanted to take a walk and go out for fresh air, there were places to go out and sit and enjoy the sunshine. I think they have everything that my aunt would possibly need. They also provide transportation to take care of where she needed to go."

"The Emeritus at Ridgeland Pointe was very nice and they are like family there. The rooms that I saw were okay. I did not have lunch there, but they wanted me to come back and have lunch. The dining area was a large open space with tables and all. Just having that one visit, I'd have to say I had a very good impression of this place. It was just like a big happy family, so I think that was what stood out for this facility. "

"The key to this type facility is the management and staff. They are extremely caring. My mother in law has been a resident for 5 years and has received excellent care. I recommend it highly "

"The workers at Madison Home Place looked like they were taking time with all the residents there. They were encouraging them. When I was there, they were taking them to dinner. They enjoy their jobs so that made it nice to see that they cared for the residents there. The place was really clean and I think it's fairly new, so I liked that. The residents seemed to be upbeat and happy. I liked seeing that also. The rooms were all private. They had a large activity room where they played music or had different activities, some were physical activities, and some were mental activities. It wasn't large, but it was still big enough for all of them to be in there to do their activities. The dining area seemed small, but they didn't have that many residents there, so they might not have needed a larger one."

"My mother is at The Blake at Township. My sister who lives in the area knew some family members who had been there and recommended it. We like the facilities and the layout of the residents' rooms. All of their bathrooms are equipped with grab bars and safety equipment for people with handicap or mobility issues. The dining area is very nice. The whole thing is set up to make the residents somewhat feel like they're in a resort. There's a menu, tablecloths and cloth napkins. They have a pretty busy activities program and a lot of it depends on what they're interested in. My mother is going to get in a Bridge club there, there's a wheelchair class, and they have a nice activities room. They'll sometimes go on excursions or trips to the drugstore or coffee shop."

"I toured St. Catherine's Village. The person took a lot of time and was not as hurried as the person at the other facility. There were several things that I liked about it. There is a chapel there, so there was more of a religious focus, which was important to me. They're not as big as the other facility, but they have a full kitchen, a storage area, and closets that were even a bit more storage than the other facility. It was quite a bit more expensive. It's a buy-in. Instead of just having your meals included with the cost of moving in, it was on a point system, and the points could be saved. So, that was very appealing to me."

"My parents liked Riggs Manor. Everything was very good; I was happy with it. The staff’s work attitude was very good. It’s beautiful and very peaceful. The food was very good, and they have a lot of activities for seniors like bingo. "

"My mother-in-law will be moving into Strong River Villa Assisted Living. It's almost like staying at a private hotel. It's got large rooms, it's clean, and it's got a big seating area. They take care of them, and they provide three meals a day. I'm very impressed. I also know people that have been there, so I was already aware of it. It's self-pay and it is a reasonable rate. It's like $3250 a month and you just supply their personal needs and they supply everything else and you can come and visit any time. I have friends whose loved ones have been there, and they've always been happy. It's better than any Holiday Inn or anything. The rooms were huge and clean. Nothing smelled of odor. They had a big open bay room or a place where they can see outside. I would live there. I wouldn't have to cut grass or anything. They have lots of walking space. They said that my mother-in-law could bring a dog to her room, and they also had a place where they could walk the dog outside. They said they have a place where they feed the birds, and they could sit in the bay window and watch the birds. They do bingo days, and on Wednesdays, they have a man that comes in and sings with them, and they have different TVs according to what they like. If you need somebody to take them to an appointment, they will schedule that, but it's an extra fee. They will give you the names of people that will do that for you. There's some type of activity every day and they can choose to participate or not participate. There are people there that are not able to get around, but their mind is clear. A lot of them just want to stay in their room, but the staff said the ones that have dementia or Alzheimer's want to get out and socialize more, so it's up to them. Every room has its own private large shower. It has a place for your TV, but you have to bring your own television, and your bed, and you can bring in a chest of drawers. Some people rent furniture for $40 a month, but most people want their own things."
