Settler's Pointe Personal Care Home sits in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and offers care in a quiet, home-like setting, and you'll see right away they've set up both private and semi-private rooms, all with wheelchair accessible showers, tubs, and private bathrooms if needed, and rooms come fully furnished but you can bring your own things if that helps you feel more at home. The facility is secured, especially in the memory care building, with a wandering alert system and bracelets to keep anyone with memory problems from getting lost, and staff are trained to help with exit-seeking or aggressive behaviors, and a nurse stays on staff to handle health questions. The building's easy to move around in with open hallways, both indoor and outdoor common areas, and landscaped grounds, and you'll find lots of places to relax or talk with others, either in the TV watching area or outside if you want.
Meals come with the stay, with options for vegetarian or kosher diets, and staff take care to meet medical and dietary needs, especially for folks with diabetes or those who need help with eating or medication. Settler's Pointe allows smoking outside only, so you won't get that smell indoors, but smokers have a place to go. Transportation is arranged free of charge for shopping or appointments, and resident parking is available too. The day includes on-site devotionals, arts and crafts, educational programs, daily exercise routines, wellness checks, social activities, and off-site outings, so there's something to do for everyone and programs help folks stay engaged and make friends. There's regular help with cleaning, laundry, and maintenance, and staff watch out for residents around the clock.
The community serves seniors who need assisted living, memory care, nursing home type support, adult foster care, or even adult day care if someone only needs help for part of the day, and they can provide care for folks with high needs, such as diabetic, incontinence, and non-ambulatory care. Since there are only 10 beds, Settler's Pointe gives a more personal feel, and the staff get to know the people living there, so care is adapted if someone's condition changes. Safety and independence get balanced, so seniors stay as active as they can but still have help when needed. The home is close to shopping centers, restaurants, hospitals, doctors, and even rehabilitation centers, so it's easy to get out if needed or have outside services brought in, like hospice. Overall, the place offers a calm, safe environment with simple comforts and practical supports, and families can feel more at ease knowing there's supervision day and night and programs designed to keep seniors healthy, safe, and connected.
