Overview of The Manor on Lawndale

This place is located at 2429 Lawndale Drive in Tupelo, Mississippi, and it is a place with 72 beds for assisted living and memory support that is owned by Kenneth A. Long. Because the area has a Walk Score of 0, meaning it is very car-dependent, people who live here and their family members who come to visit will need to plan on driving to get to their errands and doctor visits instead of walking.

There are games, crafts, exercise classes, musical fun, and parties that happen all throughout the month, which creates a set routine instead of having random things to do.

Even though some people in this home struggle with memory loss, they live in the same area and follow the same daily schedule as everyone else because the memory help happens right alongside the regular assisted living care. Nurses and nursing assistants who have special training are there to look after the building and the people living inside it all day and all night.

The Manor on Lawndale is a good choice for older people, such as those who have memory loss, if they need help with daily tasks and care all day and all night in a smaller Tupelo community that has planned, regular social activities.

Overview of Aldersgate Assisted Living

A faith-based operator runs Aldersgate Assisted Living, a 58-bed community offering both assisted living and independent living, on Poplar Springs Drive in Meridian, Mississippi. Aldersgate Personal Care, Inc. owns and operates the property, and residency starts at age 62. Car-dependent describes the surrounding area well; a Walk Score of 0 means most errands mean driving rather than walking.

Rehabilitation services, respite care, and a doctor on staff sit alongside round-the-clock staffing and emergency response systems, covering both short-term recovery needs and ongoing daily support. Several named programs run through the community as well: Green House, Bridge to Home, Bridge to Better, Memory Support, Senior Rx, and Meals on Wheels, plus an Affordable Housing track. Studio and cottage floor plans give residents two distinct living arrangements to choose from.

Weekly religious services anchor the calendar, alongside life enrichment gatherings, outings, and regular exercise programs, all consistent with a faith-based approach to daily life. Six days a week bring one included meal, and the front office runs Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM. Pets are welcome, so residents don’t have to give up a companion animal to move in.

Lauderdale County holds this address, roughly 7.8 miles out from the Meridian city center. Between the dual assisted and independent living structure, the faith-based programming, and the range of named support tracks, Aldersgate reads as a fit for older adults seeking daily structure and some independence, wrapped in a community shaped by shared religious life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Mississippi

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Mississippi?

Assisted living in Mississippi supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Mississippi?

Assisted living in Mississippi is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Mississippi Medicaid cover assisted living?

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. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 156 assisted living facilities in Mississippi. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Mississippi?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Mississippi, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Mississippi?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
