The Best Memory Care Communities in Jones County, MS

"We've toured Crescent Landing at Hattiesburg, which is located right behind Wesley Medical Center. The place was great and we liked it. The rooms were nice, we looked at a single-occupancy room that was empty. They had a choir practice going on with some of the residents, they have prayer meetings, and on Wednesdays and Sundays, they have church in the afternoon. They have activities every day, and they will take them somewhere too if they want to go, or just to get them out. It's very clean and the dining area was nice. I didn't see any negative there at all. The memory care center had its own courtyard where people could go out and still be safe. They were playing a memory game with the residents there, and one of the ladies in the front was asking them questions and they had to get points to win a prize. She would say, "All right, I want somebody to tell me what you would find in a bakery that you might also call your spouse or mate." All hands went up and they were answering "honey" or "sugar", they were having a lot of fun. So I was glad to see that they had their memory care patients engaged. The person giving me the tour said that they have something going on with them, a lot. They were all dressed nicely with their hair brushed, nobody looked like a bag lady, so that was impressive too. It's a newer building and the staff was really good. The room had a sitting area, a bathroom, and a little kitchen area."
