Overview of Harmony Court Assisted Living

On I-55 North in Jackson, Mississippi, at number 5411, is where Harmony Court Assisted Living sits. Kevin T. Wright is the owner of this 105-bed community, and under one roof, it brings together assisted living, memory care, and respite care. A Walk Score of 26 is what the neighborhood carries, which lands in the somewhat walkable range. What that means in plain terms is that a person could walk to a few nearby places, but for most errands, a car is still what’s needed. From the middle of Jackson, the community sits about 4.8 miles out, close enough to town but still a drive.

Alongside the regular assisted living track, memory care is offered here too, running as its own path within the same building. For families who need coverage for just a short stretch of time, respite care is also on hand, giving them a way to step away without locking into something longer. Not far from Harmony Court are two hospitals that offer acute care, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center and Central Mississippi Medical Center, and having them nearby means medical help beyond what the community itself provides is within easy reach if it’s ever needed.

Two kinds of people tend to be the best match for a place like this. One is an older adult who needs both daily support with assisted living and the closer structure that comes with memory care. The other is a family working through what to do next, who wants a respite stay as a way to buy some time while they sort out longer-term plans for a loved one.

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.
