Nursing Home Communities in Amory, MS

"I live in Collierville, TN. My mother is 84 and has been to Golden Living Nursing Home in Amory, MS, my home town. We need to move her closer to me. The price of her private room doubled and we can no longer afford to pay the difference. She has Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross. My mother qualified in the Diversion Program of Medicaid and is now in an assisted living facility. However, I am looking at other options. Mom moved into her community and she loves it there. She thinks the staff is terrific, very conscientious, helpful and warm. I haven't heard her that happy in many, many years. I don't know if I would have even looked at this community if it weren't for your suggestions and help with the process, including the financial advice. But I had to move her near my place. It's been a great journey for mom to stay in Golden Living Center. "

"Shearer-Richardson Memorial Nursing Home is a nice facility. They're just building a new activities room, which is nice. Their activities are more like bingo or any auction and I just don't enjoy that, but I play the guitar and sing for them. We do that a couple of times a month or more and they like that. The food is excellent. The staff is nice."

"I have prior experience from working and visiting other nursing homes and assisted living facilities. I've never worked for The Meadows, but I visited the facility several times while my grandmother recovered there from open heart surgery for almost 2 months. The facility is the best available anywhere! The building doesn't even appear to be a nursing home or assisted living facility, which is important to our elderly loved ones who want to keep some of their independence (or younger loved ones who absolutely despise being placed in a facility and not able to recover at home). When you enter the building, there's no smell of urine or feces, which is present in every other facility I've visited. It has a fresh, flowery odor and not like a bad odor cover-up. The staff, from the janitorial staff to the administration, is awesome! I have a very picky grandmother and they did everything possible to make her happy and comfortable, such as providing her favorite foods for meals and allowing her to do things on her own while they watched over her (instead of doing everything for her). They are very accommodating and knowledgeable. They explain everything to you so that you understand everything that will occur. I never felt like I had to hang around or sneak up on them to make sure they were doing their job and taking care of my grandmother. It's a great atmosphere that provides exceptional southern hospitality. On top of all that, my grandmother recovered much faster at this facility than expected. The staff consists of Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, and everything else available for a safe, speedy rehabilitation. If I had to be placed in an assisted living facility, I would definitely choose The Meadows of Fulton, MS. "

"My husband had his rehab at Courtyards Community Living Center. What i liked most about it is the caring of the staff, they're very good. They take very good care of my husband. It's very clean and the rooms are very spacious. It's well-lit. I feel very well about it. My husband's happy with the food. It is served warm and my husband likes it. The facility is old and well-kept. They have a beauty salon, and I haven't been in the chapel, but I'm assuming every place has one. They have an actual courtyard inside the perimeter that patients are allowed to visit if they want. I am very satisfied. They are very nice people."

"My mother is their for PO, OT and Speech. I had to call last weeks due to various issues there. The Social Worker has been a blessing because she goes directly to the source and make you feel comfortable and loving. I wish they could work on their morale there. My mother, Ms Moore seems to be a liitle more happier now. Thank you staff for lifting up mom's Spirit!"

"My mother is going to move into Trace Way Retirement Community. The grounds are well-kept. The inside of the facility is clean and does not have any odors. They have taken all the carpet out of the rooms and they do have down faux wood. The residents I talked to all said that the food was good. The rooms are a little small, but it's an assisted living place. The lady who showed us around was nice, answered all our questions, and gave us even more information. My mother likes it because it's right in town. They had a sign posted today, and they had some kind of art activity and were having an outing to a Fish House to eat."
