My mother is a resident at Brookdale Hattiesburg Memory Care. She is very happy and well cared for by the nurses, staff and of course, Cindy, the manager. No matter what my mother needs, it is provided, and my family and I are so appreciative and thankful for the quality care and attention she receives. My mother believes that Brookdale's Memory Care facility is her home, and at this point in her life, it is. If there is any update, I am notified immediately. My family and I could not ask for a better "new home" for our mother.

My mother was a resident of Brookdale Hattiesburg. They were patient with me and my mother because she was demanding. She didn't eat there, but they would encourage her by cutting the food up. They also got her into a lot of programs. She did crocheting and bingo. She was into most of the activities. She started to eat there, and they kept encouraging her. She gained 22 pounds and was doing really well. She began to really thrive there. The place was nice. They had fewer rooms but it was the quality of care I looked at mostly. Their cleanliness was managed very well. The clothing was sometimes scattered, which I can understand with that many people there, but my mother always had something clean to wear. They were good about answering phone calls and then giving it to my mother. They offered great transportation any time an appointment came up. They were right there. I would definitely recommend them. I also enjoyed their food.

My mom moved into Brookdale. It seemed pretty clean, and there is no smell when you go in. The staff seemed to be very caring, professional, helpful, and are doing the best they can. My mom seemed to be OK with the food. They need to have better communication with the families. Housekeeping, laundry, and therapy are all part of the package. They take the residents out on outings.

I visited this facility
The employees at Brookdale Hattiesburg II (Formerly Emeritus at Pine Meadow) were very nice, courteous, very friendly, and very helpful. The place was really clean. They had a lot of activities throughout the day there . They had a chef. They don't have a cafeteria style dining, but more like restaurant dining. For activities, they let them count money. Some of them can't count anymore because their memory is bad. They also have karaoke and bingo. They have a patio outside that has a homey atmosphere.
