Brookwood Villa Personal Care sits on a quiet twelve-acre property in Waynesboro, MS, as a family-owned facility licensed for assisted living and memory care. The place offers long-term care along with respite stays, so families can get some relief or help during transitions. Residents find many room choices, like studios, semi-private, and two-bedroom units, all with options for private bathrooms and wheelchair accessible showers, and some rooms have been renovated to add comfort. The community offers a living room for gathering, a dining room for shared meals, a puzzle room for games, and a church area for quiet reflection. Meals are served to everyone, and snacks help make sure no one goes hungry. They provide different amenities to help seniors feel at home, like personal bathroom setups, room to bring pets like dogs and cats, and spaces to socialize indoors. There's a large therapy gym on site for health needs and rehabilitation, plus daily activities such as games, crafts, and group outings, while staff schedules devotional services offsite for spiritual needs.
Licensed personal care staff remain present around the clock, and the facility sets care plans for each person, adjusting support for things like help with bathing, dressing, medication management, or transferring from bed to wheelchair. Residents who need help with diabetes get support in checking blood sugar, though the staff don't give insulin shots. For those who have trouble moving, staff offer standby help but expect residents to manage incontinence on their own. Non-ambulatory care and hospice care are available as well, but the facility doesn't accept Medicare for payment unless certified for it. The cost involves community fees, respite fees for short stays, buy-in fees, and sliding fees based on care needs, whether high, medium, or low.
Brookwood Villa offers transportation and parking for residents, with free rides available for those who need to go out. Smoking is allowed outdoors. The community allows for different ways to practice faith, socialize, and pursue interests, with daily programs aimed at making friends and building a strong sense of belonging. Common areas like a living room or activity spaces give seniors room to talk or join planned group events. Awards for "Best of Senior Living" and "Best Activities in Senior Living" show recognition in the field. Staff members keep a friendly and helpful attitude, and care gets personalized for every resident, whether someone needs memory care, assistance with daily life, or just wants a secure place to live that feels like home.
