Nursing Home Communities in Brandon, MS

"My mom will be moving into Compere's Nursing Home. The appearance was very nice. It was in downtown Jackson, and I did not feel insecure at all in the area. It was a nice facility, and it was not brand new. When you go in, you didn't have patients sitting in the hallway. It was just nice, clean, and very organized. It was a small facility. Their staff, Danielle, was the young lady that helped us. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She knew her information on Medicare and knew the process that we were about to go through. She was just very thorough in giving us any information we needed. She was very polite and very professional. Several of the residents brought their sombrero hats and Mexican looking hats. My uncle and I asked if they were they having some kind of event. The staff said she thought lunch was going to be Mexican, and they were preparing for that. We went back into the area where the dining room was. Several people were sitting around tables with their hats on. I think one table had some people doing a puzzle. The yard was mowed and well-kept. The flower beds were nice. The parking was right there at the building. It was not a very big facility. They had a total of 60 beds. Out of those 60, there are five private rooms."

"This is the best place. Patients are taking care of in so many ways. She has her hair done there every Tuesday. They go on trips to Casino, Walmart & other places. Church’s come to teach & sing. Their physical therapist do an outstanding job. Nurses have been great. Staff has called us when she was sick or any of her meds have changed. Front office billing etc.. no issues. We are thankful for everyone at Briarhill."

"The rooms have high ceilings and are very sufficient. There are areas where individuals or family and friends can visit in privacy. Homey atmosphere. Most residents need highly skilled care. There are areas for residents to be gathered other than the nurses station blocking the traffic. This is very conducive to visiting each other and yet in the site of the staff. The staff is attentive to the needs of the residents and seem to like us and enjoy their work. The menus include down home cooking. The therapy department is great. The various activities are provided by 3 workers and includes weekly outings and guests for spiritual emphasis. The laundry does a good job of returning items without losing them. I am enjoying living here and visiting with the other residents and staff. "

"My Mom was transferred from St. Dominick's Hospital to the Nichols Center on January 10, 2023, to the rehabilitation wing and when it became necessary, she was transferred to the long-term care wing. she remained there until she passed on April 10, 2023. During her stay, she was given the utmost care and treated by staff as if she was family. The rooms were very clean and the staff was very attentive, professional, and kept me informed of any issues. Mom was comfortable to the end, and I am forever indebted to the Nichols staff. I would recommend Nichols to anyone who's seeking care for a loved one."

"My grandmother was a resident at the Magnolia Nursing Home in Jackson, MS. Our family decided to place her their after she suffered mini stroke while living independently in her home. During her stay there she was able to interact with other residents in the facility. The nurses that were there were nice. Some of the the nurses where not as friendly with the patients and not with the families. On my first trip their, I was not help to find my grandmothers room. I had to look up and down the hall because I didn't see staff nor did they ask me where I wanted to visit. The appearance of the facility reminded me of more of a hospital than a residence home. Each residents had their own room and were allowed to have television and other things to fix up their room. In the end of my grandmothers stay, her condition worsened so my family decided to bring her home with the care of nurses. The facility help us find a stay at home nurse and they also helped with the transportation of her to my mothers house. The home was a good place to help with the care of my grandmother but if we had more time for choosing, we would have found a better facility."

"We're having a good experience at Chadwick Nursing & Rehab Center. Everyone seems friendly and caring. The ones that I deal with help me and keep me informed on what is going on there. I try to go by there daily. They let me know if there is something I need to address. I think the staff is what stands out the most. My mother has been there for about three months. "

"My husband is in Forest Hill Nursing Center. He has Alzheimer's. The people I've talked to have been very helpful."

"Willow Creek seemed to be nice. I was impressed with the facility. It would probably be my next choice. "

"My aunt is at the Edgewood Health and Rehab. It's a beautiful place, very modern, and extremely clean. In fact, I probably would go there when I need to find a place. I think they are professional, friendly, and very thorough. I am completely satisfied with their service. I've seen them doing paintings, nature walks, and board games. I think they have a variety of things. They do physical therapy. She has been going to some kind of arts and crafts class too where they do beadwork. The rooms are very nice and fully equipped as well."

"Semi private rooms with nice big window on mom’s side. Nursing Staff very friendly with my mom. NP had to adjust medication frequently because of my mom’s new conditions and they answered my questions . Very difficult to get calls into facility- and No phones in room- when I was sick a nurse called and let my mom talk to me on her phone."

"My father-in-law is at Clinton Healthcare for rehab. The facility is nice. He has enjoyed the staff and the food there. He says it's really clean. He enjoys the rehab and the staff is great. It's clean and nice. It doesn't smell bad. The rehab rooms are private, and it is spacious and big enough for a wheelchair and big enough for somebody who wants to stay with him. I know there were people who came in and stayed. The rooms are nice, they've got plenty of space, and they have control over their air. The staff is all really nice, informative, and helpful. The care that he receives is great. I thought they did a good job getting back to where he can walk and move on his own. I've not had food or meals, but he said they're fabulous. He said they're better than the hospital. He wrote notes to the cooks and told them how wonderful it was. They have a beauty salon and a barber. They have an activity calendar and look like they have something every day. They have events every day. They even have bingo once a week and games. They will keep them busy if they'll go do them."
