Plaza Community Living Center sits at 4403 Hospital Road in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and offers a mix of care and services for seniors who need nursing or rehab care, along with those who need help with memory care, long-term care, or daily activities like bathing, dressing, and eating, and you see their building holds up to 100 certified nursing beds, with about 91 residents there each day, so most folks living there are 55 or 62 and older and want as much independence as they can manage, while still having the support and supervision available day and night. This place operates as a nursing and rehab center, managed by Community Eldercare Services, LLC, with ownership ties to Community Living Centers, LLC and Douglas Wright, and they've been in charge since 2000. A resident can choose between private suites or semi-private rooms, and every room's got WiFi and a TV, while outside, you find a patio area along with a spot for smoking, and the place offers vending machines and even a transport van for getting out and about.
Eating there means having one or two meals cooked fresh every day by staff, so you don't have to fuss, and they keep up with laundry and housekeeping for you, plus there are laundry facilities if you want to do things yourself. A kitchen staff plans meals for nutrition, while teams of nurses, certified assistants, and rehab therapists look after your health, help with medicines, guide through therapy in their state-of-the-art gym, and create care plans for your needs, with both short-term rehab and long-term care options, including skilled nursing for those who've just come from the hospital and need extra help. People with Alzheimer's or dementia can get memory care there, which tends to cost more, but includes activities and supervision for safety.
The place can work with Medicare and Medicaid for those who qualify and always keeps medical supervision on hand with physicians watching over things. While management says they're committed to making life comfortable and home-like, records from state checks show Plaza Community Living Center has had 22 reported deficiencies in areas like safety and supervision, including infection-related problems, and there have been times when they didn't provide full protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, with nurse staffing numbers, too, documented at 3.48 nurse hours per patient per day, which is under the state average of 4.2. Still, the facility is a licensed, accredited nursing home, and tries to keep things community-focused with social settings and activities, so folks feel connected and supported as they age, and families and residents can see reviews from others-there's even a system for folks to rate their experiences, and senior living advisors can give guidance along the way, as more detailed info about what's included may be added in the future.
