Traceway Retirement Community sits over on West Main Street in Tupelo, Mississippi, serving older adults since 1967, and you'll find all sorts of living options across one campus, so folks can pick from independent cottages, affordable one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and even three-bedroom apartments, or studio units, with nearly 50 cottages to choose from-some of these may qualify for income-based help, and you can choose a spot that fits just about any retirement budget, and there's Green House® long-term care homes too, which encourage residents to make their own choices and enjoy a more home-like feel, and this was the first in the nation offering this style. You'll see that Traceway covers four main levels of elder care, so people can get independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing neighborhoods for those needing extra medical help, and long-term Alzheimer's care for those facing memory issues, plus 24-hour nursing care's always close by if it's ever needed, and caregivers handle things like bathing, dressing, medication help, laundry, and housekeeping.
The dining service focuses on good, hearty, down-home cooking, giving residents three meals each day and snacks available, with room for dietary needs. Folks enjoy the change to bring their pets along thanks to pet-friendly rules, though there are some limits, and there's plenty of ways to socialize with community dining, regular social events, common recreation rooms, and outings-plus Traceway has a neighborly feel and always seems clean, quiet, and comfortable. If friends or family want to visit, residents' guests are welcome to stay overnight or share a meal sometimes, and there's free transportation arranged for shopping trips, appointments, or trips to Walmart Supercenter, which helps folks who no longer drive.
Some other comforts include in-house skilled nursing, check cashing, dry cleaning, barber and beauty shops for a fee, room for worship and Bible study with staff chaplains, as well as regular devotional services-all keeping with Traceway's strong Christian faith and mission of serving others in the spirit of Christian love. There's a gym for exercise, therapy programs from Vertis Therapy for anyone needing rehab like physical or speech therapy, and caregivers help out with daily chores, fresh linens, and delivering mail and newspapers right to residents' doors. Security's strong, with emergency response systems in the apartments and cottages, and immediate nursing support on call around the clock, plus folks don't have to worry about yardwork or maintenance with lawn care and garbage removal handled by staff. Traceway also runs outreach programs like Meals-on-Wheels, and keeps up with a schedule full of games, worship, Bible classes, social gatherings, and holiday activities.
You'll find Traceway Retirement Community's unique for its Green House® homes and its commitment to faith-based care, keeping everything under one roof so elders can age in place if needs change, and the staff here see ministry as a calling to serve older adults with kindness, practicality, and a steady focus on providing comfort, safety, and simple joys every day.
