    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ridgeland

    Ridgeland is a large multi-cultural metropolitan area just north of Jackson, Mississippi’s capitol city. The Ridgeland area is home to three assisted living facilities (ALFs). An additional nine are located in the surrounding area. ALF services in Ridgeland, and in all of Mississippi, include assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and medical services. The licensing and regulation of ALFs are governed by the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH).

    Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Ridgeland

    • Seniors can feel safe in Ridgeland due to a low violent crime rate of 15.2 (1 being the lowest) versus the national average of 31.1. The property crime is 40.0, which is a little higher than the national average of 38.1, and may be of concern.

    • The cost of living in Ridgeland is 7.9 percent less than U. S. average. The cost of groceries and miscellaneous items averages lower than both the state and national median. Also, health care costs in Ridgeland are 7 percent lower than the U.S. average. This can make it easier for seniors on a budget to find higher quality assisted living care.

    • On average, Ridgeland receives no annual snowfall so seniors can stay active year round. While July has a high of 92 degrees Fahrenheit, January's low 35-degree-Fahrenheit average may be too cold for some.
