The Pinnacle of Hattiesburg

The facilities were very nice. The rooms were pretty spacious, and they all had their private baths. They have a variety of layouts for the rooms, so you could have a one-bedroom, a studio, or a two-bedroom. The staff was very good. I didn't get to taste the food, but the dining area looked very nice. The facilities were well laid out. They explained that they had a nurse practitioner on call, and he was affiliated with the VA, so it's a very VA-friendly facility, which was important for my parents. I just was very impressed. They have a little snack area that is open for everybody. I had a little snack, but I didn't get to taste the main meal.

My aunt moved in. I was looking for a place where she could take her little lap puppy with her, and they allowed it. Her apartment is perfect. The staff is very nice. My aunt said the food was good. Upstairs they have card tables where you can play rook and bridge. They play Mexican trains. They have a piano up there. Some of the residents play the piano and they have groups that come in and sing. In her room, they come and clean every day, and they do a deep cleaning once a week.

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.
