Memory Care Communities in Gulfport, MS

"My brother will move into Brookdale Biloxi. The facility is wonderful, and so are the people. It was a large room, like an open concept. You go in, and it's like an L-shape. And when you first go in, there's a little kitchenette area where there's a small refrigerator. You could put a microwave in there, or a coffee maker if you wanted to. It's got a good-sized bathroom, and the room is a nice size for you. You've got plenty of room to put - looks like to me - you've got room for your TV, your bed, your bedside table, and your recliner in there. You could put a small table and two little chairs in there if you wanted to, and still have a nice space. The person who took us around was very informative, nice, and good. She answered all my brother's questions. They were terrific. She explained to him that if he did not like what they were having that day, he could choose a sandwich, a hamburger, or something. They've got a little list of things you can choose from if you don't like what they're having that day."

"I did a tour of Seashore Highlands Retirement Community. It had a very homey feel, it didn't have an institutional feel. It was a little smaller than the other place I visited. For someone that doesn't get around well on their own, that might be a little less intimidating than the big facilities. Everything was in an easy to manage area for someone that was either on a walker or a wheelchair. Everything was very centrally located and easy to get to. The facility was wonderful. It was very clean and very inviting. It also had lovely landscaping courtyards. I also like them because it was one level. It did not have multi-levels, and that was very important to me."

"Wonderful place to live! Make good friends! We have Amazing food at The Claiborne!"

"I went to Summerfield Senior Living of Gulfport. They have a place where you can go fish in a little pond. You can sit out on the deck and fish or just sit down on the deck and watch somebody else fish. They have a huge walking area all around their whole outside area. And they have a greenhouse. It's small, but it's someplace you can go out and work with your plants and there are sitting areas outside. The apartments are very nice, roomy, and clean. They have housekeeping and all the amenities. The place was clean and large with big halls and bright. It wasn't dark. It was nice and bright. When you walk in the front door, they have a big foyer with a grand piano, and the people sitting on one side are doing a puzzle or playing some kind of game. The people greeted you. And then on the other side of the hall in this great big room were some residents who were just sitting there. It was just an inviting atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and friendly and answered all our questions."

"The Blake at Biloxi was by far the only one that I liked. Jasmine was the one who gave us the tour of the place. I love her. I liked how it had a calendar of events. I loved that they kept a community where they could all do stuff together. It's a newer place and I know that's where my mom will go when something happens with my dad. One, because it's right there, like 10 minutes from my house, and two, I just really like the staff there and it was more social, where they would keep you going and living. In the apartments themselves, they have a kitchenette in it, but for the most part, the meals are done in a dining room and that dining room is gorgeous and nice. They've got meals and alternative meals that you can get. They do breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They've got a piano bar, a billiard room, an arts and crafts room, and then they go out where they take you shopping, and they also take you out to entertainment places."

"I toured the Lighthouse. It was very complete, and I liked it. It has nice grounds and nice apartments, and the employees were very good. I talked to several people living there, and they enjoyed it. The upkeep is excellent. They had different-sized of rooms. They had two rooms, a bedroom and a living room, and then they had one that was just one big room. There were a lot of people eating in the dining area, so they must have enjoyed it, and the atmosphere looked nice."
