Overview of Seashore Highlands

Seashore Highlands sits at 12170 Highland Way in the Loraine neighborhood of Gulfport, Mississippi, in Harrison County. The community offers three levels of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Seashore Camp Grounds Retirement is the legal operator, and Home, Inc. handles day-to-day administration.

The building is single-story, with 75 beds and suite-style housing. Rooms run large for the category, between about 1,385 and 1,625 square feet, more space than a typical studio layout gives a resident. The tradeoff is location: the neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 4 out of 100, which lands it firmly in car-dependent territory.

That’s where the on-site transportation service matters. Residents don’t need to drive themselves or rely entirely on family to get to appointments and errands, which offsets some of what the low walkability score would otherwise mean day to day. Fitness and recreation programming is also available on the property, so staying active doesn’t depend on leaving campus. Pets are welcome too, which matters more than people sometimes expect when someone is deciding whether to move.

Having assisted living, independent living, and memory care in one place is worth noting on its own. A resident’s needs can change over years, sometimes suddenly, and a campus that already covers multiple care levels means that shift doesn’t have to mean a whole new address and a whole new community to learn. Combined with the roomier suites and built-in transportation, Seashore Highlands reads as a community set up for residents who want space, some in-house mobility support, and room to change care levels without starting over somewhere new.

Mississippi Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Mississippi) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community.
