"One Magnolia Place was nice. The facilities were nice, the rooms were comfortable, and they had a nice dining room. There was a lot of friendly people and an outdoor feel to it, which we liked. It was very pleasant, but it cost more than what we got. For my mother's purposes, it would cost us about $3,250 to $3,550 a month. "

"Azalea Gardens Nursing Center took great care of my grandma, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. From day one, the staff treated her with real kindness and patience, and it meant a lot to our whole family knowing she was in good hands. The place is also incredibly clean and well kept, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Everything always felt orderly and comfortable, not overwhelming or cold like some places can feel. What stood out most was how genuine the people were. They weren’t just doing a job, they actually cared. They took the time to check in on her, talk with her, and make sure she felt comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Azalea Gardens to anyone looking for a place for their loved one. It made a hard situation a lot easier for our family."

"Summerfield Senior Living of Gulfport was really nice. I liked the location because it was kind of a country setting. It was like twenty-three acres. The staff members were very friendly and very nice. The food was fantastic. The facility was very clean and new. The rooms just were not very spacious, and the layout of the rooms were not thoughtful for an elderly person. It was pretty basic, generic, and kind of more of a facility feeling, not a home feeling."

"Lakeview Nursing Center is great. I'm glad that I've selected it for my brother. The staff has been wonderful too. He is in skilled nursing and he will transition into long-term care. They have two doctors on staff, and he has doctors' appointments that they set up and tests if they see it necessary. They transport him to and from those appointments. I haven't seen the food but I will see it this week. I'm having lunch with him for Thanksgiving. They have him on a specialized diet because he has no teeth. They're very accommodating. He doesn't stay in bed all the time, so they rearranged his room so his chair would be facing the TV. They have a lot of physical activities for the residents and they have an activity staff too. They provide bingo and a lot of other different games. They go around in the afternoon to give them coffee and talk to them. They have a great activities director. They have several outdoor courtyard areas and they also have peacocks on the ground. They call me any time that he may have a stomach ache or anything. They stay on top of everything. They noticed after he eats sometimes that his stomach hurts so the doctor had ordered an ultrasound to find out if maybe he had an ulcer and everything, so they're on top of their health. From what I've observed, the residents that I come across seem to be very pleased and very happy. They're allowed to leave their rooms whenever they want and if they're mobile. They can go in the hallways and visit with friends if they have made any there so it's nice."

"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."

"My sister has been there for the past 98 days rehabing from a series of strokes and a heart attack. Because of her limited mobility she requires quite a bit of assistance. I am extremely please with the tender and professional care she has received from the techs, nurses, and therapy team. when she gets out of the hospital again, this is the only place I want her to be.
