Overview of Heritage House Nursing Center

Heritage House Nursing Center delivers four care types in Vicksburg, MS. Those are hospice care, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. Licensed nursing care on-site is what the skilled nursing designation covers. Hospice attends to comfort where the end of life is what a resident faces.

Memory care means a secured setting with supervision for somebody whose dementia may carry a wandering risk. Rehabilitation Services and Short-Term Rehab provide a temporary recovery setting after an illness, an injury, or a hospital stay.

Sixty beds are licensed, and Melissa Crump is the administrator. Medicaid, Medicare, and private funds are the three ways families fund the care, and which one applies depends on eligibility and coverage.

At 74 for Walk Score, the area is very walkable. Nursing support, dementia supervision, hospice, or a short course of rehabilitation are all reachable at the one address.
