Nursing Home Communities in Hattiesburg, MS

"My mom had stayed at Bedford Care. They were very good for therapy and making my mom's muscles and things straightened out. They were trying to make her walk again. However, the time ran out. She could only stay there for insurance purposes. I liked that their therapist was knowledgeable. They were sensitive to the people that were there. They cared about them as a person, not just a patient. They were personable. It was good facility too. "

"From what I see & from what my great uncle tells me The Windham House of Hattiesburg has excellent staff. Good and caring nurses. The facility is also very clean and very homey, not like most facilities around here. And they treat their patients with respect, the way they would treat a member of their own family. The only thing I do not like apout this place is you can't see your family member everyday or as often as you like and you can't just get up and leave when you're ready to, but other than that very good place to be, would recommend to any and everyone.

"We toured Hattiesburg Health & Rehab memory care. It was clean, but because it's a nursing home, it's just busy. The nurses had the medical carts going down the hall and there was too much going on. It will be too much stimulation for my mother and it's too congested. All the staff is very nice and very helpful. It's a very old building back in the '60s. They've got some new additions, but when you go in, you'd know it's old. But that does not hinder the care that these residents are getting. They have an activities coordinator and they do activities like they'll get them out. They also have a dining area. The halls were not as wide as the other places that we went. The rooms were all double rooms. The staff members were all friendly and attentive to the residents that were there."

"I've been to the Jones Co Rest Home and I liked it a lot. So far, I'd probably use this place. It's clean and nice, and there's plenty of staff so it's great. There were no people just laying up in the bed in the rooms, everybody was out participating and dressed nicely, and their hair brushed. Their rooms were all double rooms, which I liked because my mother needs someone with her. I'm glad there will be at least another person in the room with her in case she can't reach a string or pull the cord. There's one nurse station at each end of the building, and the nurse's station can see down the complete halls. So the halls are being watched all the time. The staff we interacted with were all nice and helpful. I heard them speaking to all of the residents by name when they passed anyone in the hall. They had a friendly relationship with the residents. They posted menus and they looked good. We saw the residents having an afternoon ice cream sundae party where they could go and pick their ice cream sundae, and they were enjoying that."

"They are not equipped to care for an Alzheimer's patient -- they do not have enough people to care for an Alzheimer's patient because they require more attention sometimes than just other people that are there for other things. But my husband still has a place there, and if they cannot find him another place before Monday, he will go back to the Care Center. His room is still there, and everything he left is still there. They are wonderful down there. When they tried to engage him in something to keep his mind busy, the nurses will bring him and let him sit in the director and social worker's offices, and they will give him a piece of paper and tell him that they got work for him to do. They don't have to do that -- that is beyond what their job is -- but they had been so kind to him, and he is a handful, but he is also an Alzheimer's patient and they are just doing what they have to do for him. It is a very clean facility. There is no odor of any kind, it is neat, and they do a good job of what they do. "
