Memory Care Communities in Jackson, MS

"My mom is at The Blake at Township for about two months now. It's a very active community. The workers are all very nice. They had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration where they invited family and friends to come and eat, so we've been very pleased so far. My mom's room is great. It's a perfect size. She's got a sort of a living room and kitchen combination. There's no door into the bedroom. The bathroom is well-appointed, and it's got a roll-in shower. She's got a very large walk-in closet with plenty of space, a bed, a chair, a nightstand in the bedroom, and a wingback chair with a little table. She's got room enough for two large televisions, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. They provide cleaning services three days a week. They constantly change the garbage. Some facilities you go in smell like a nursing home, and this does not. You don't get that feeling at all. It's very upbeat. The Thanksgiving food was fantastic. There are certain days that my mother says the food is gross, but she's kind of a picky eater, so there are good days and bad days. The dining area was very nice and well-appointed. They have a lot of amenities. My mom is still in the transitional period, so she's not really participating a lot in the activities, but the activities are there. I see a lot of other people participating in the activities. Fairly recently, they even had a caregiver support group meeting where they brought in a couple of outside speakers, which was wonderful. I thought it was nice of them to do that. It's expensive because we don't have long-term care insurance, but I think it's very comparable to other facilities."

"We visited St. Catherine's Village in Madison and toured their independent living. One thing that I liked more than anything about it was the fact that I would be able to go to mass there without ever having to leave the facility. We are Catholic, so that is important. We were looking for a regular one-bedroom apartment, and the one we saw there seemed smaller than the one we looked at later on at another facility. The one we saw in the other facility was a single deluxe apartment, though, while the one we saw in this facility was just a regular single apartment. Other than that, all of the accommodations there were very nice, so of course, they have a huge waiting list. We have filled out an application there, but we've not heard back from them. The food selection also seemed lovely."

"I think Peach Tree Village is a wonderful place. The workers are courteous, helpful, and I haven't had any complaints. The food is too much, but it's good. I'm in the independent living. We have an activities director, and she plans things that are feasible for us and that we enjoy."

"My aunt is at the Edgewood Health and Rehab. It's a beautiful place, very modern, and extremely clean. In fact, I probably would go there when I need to find a place. I think they are professional, friendly, and very thorough. I am completely satisfied with their service. I've seen them doing paintings, nature walks, and board games. I think they have a variety of things. They do physical therapy. She has been going to some kind of arts and crafts class too where they do beadwork. The rooms are very nice and fully equipped as well."

"I am very pleased with the care that my mother is receiving. The facility is very nice and always clean. Sheila and the Staff in the Memory Care Unit are very kind and loving to the residents. You can tell that they care a about the residents by their actions and the way they communicate with the residents. "
