The Manor on Lawndale sits at 2429 Lawndale Dr in Tupelo, MS, offering a straightforward place for seniors with many ways to get the support needed as they age, whether someone wants independent living, assisted living, memory care at Harmony Place, or nursing home services, and it even has a respite program for short-term care or if someone just needs a temporary stay. The staff stays on site 24 hours a day, and residents can count on help for daily living, like bathing, dressing, grooming, taking medications, wound care, and getting around with wheelchairs, along with extras like personal care assistants, transportation, and regular checkups from nurses and visiting healthcare pros such as occupational therapists and podiatrists, all planned out under a care plan made with the resident, family, and a registered nurse. The property is all one level for easy access, and each room comes with a private, handicap-accessible bathroom, a kitchenette with a refrigerator, freezer, and microwave, wheelchair-accessible showers, cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and ground floor access, plus safety measures like emergency call systems, smoke detectors, sprinklers, and home security.
Meals are served hot three times daily in a restaurant-style dining room by a professional chef, with options for allergies, diabetes, or even guest meals and room service, and the staff can help those who need help eating. There's a focus on a friendly, close-knit atmosphere with an activity director who plans lots of activities-arts and crafts, games, educational and faith programs, field trips, and outings-while regular group activities, devotional services, pet-friendly policies, beauty salons, movie nights, a game room, outside gardens, and places for hobbies help residents keep busy and social. Residents help make decisions about the community and have choices in care and daily life, and the Manor also has guides, resources, and activities for senior health, social security, transportation, and internet, with senior-specific technology and cable packages, as well as ID theft protection and medical alert systems by Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT. There's physical therapy, prescription management, skilled nursing care, laundry and housekeeping, maintenance, move-in support, and personal services like transfers, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory care, mostly included in the regular rent without piles of extra fees.
For those facing memory loss, the specialized Harmony Place unit supports residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, and the facility is licensed for both assisted living and Alzheimer's care at Lakeview Place. Family and friends can join in planning care, and the environment aims to promote every resident's dignity, privacy, safety, and independence, with help at hand but respect for freedom and choices. The building, part of the Hickory Senior Living family since 2017, is newly renovated and has pet-friendly areas, guest parking, furnished or semi-furnished options, and a choice of private or semi-private rooms or deluxe suites, all with kitchenettes. Fitness centers, social spaces, maintenance, wheelchair and walking help, and programs for aging in place round out the support for residents, and insurance like long-term care insurance is accepted. Staff members speak English, and the activity program and amenities try to keep folks' spirits up, focusing on comfort, respect, and helping each person do as much for themselves as they're able, in a safe, home-like setting that values independence.
