Overview of The Pinnacle of Southaven

Operated by MFF Oxford, The Pinnacle of Southaven is an assisted living community at 108 Clarington Dr in Desoto County, Mississippi. It’s about 1.5 miles south of downtown Southaven and within walking distance of Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto. The home offers three complementary levels of care in a one-story building: assisted living, memory care, and respite or short-term care. With a choice of private or semi-private rooms, the 65-bed home caters to occupants with varying care needs and budgets.

A practical advantage for families navigating transitions is respite care. Short-term stays let a spouse or primary caregiver rest without asking the resident to relocate permanently. Those stays include real medical support from trained staff instead of basic lodging alone. This flexibility means families can plan without committing to a full move immediately. All week, occupants join activities and programs tailored to maintain engagement and life quality. The Pinnacle of Southaven offers transportation services for medical appointments and family visits, alongside fitness and recreational options for those wanting to stay active. It sits in a quiet area just outside town, offering a calmer setting while remaining convenient to local services and amenities. With a Walk Score of 37, the neighborhood is somewhat walkable for quick local errands, but a car is required for most trips.

For occupants and families who value a smaller, multi-level care home where assisted living and memory care coexist in one place, The Pinnacle of Southaven’s integrated model provides continuity when care needs change.

Overview of The Residences at Bay Cove

The Residences at Bay Cove is a gated senior living community on Bay Cove Drive in Biloxi, Mississippi, offering assisted living and memory care in Harrison County. The community is operated by Biloxi Opco I, LLC and is licensed in Mississippi as a personal care home. With 142 beds, it is one of the larger communities in the area, which generally means more common space and more organized programming than a small residential home can support. Residents live in studio and one bedroom units.

Care is built around round the clock staffing, so help with daily needs is available at any hour rather than only during scheduled shifts. The community includes a dedicated memory care unit for residents living with dementia, which allows a family to stay in one place if care needs change over time. That continuum matters to families who want to avoid a second move later on.

Daily life at Bay Cove centers on a mix of quiet and social options. There is a well stocked library and a network of walking paths on the grounds, along with arts and crafts sessions and health and wellness programming for residents who want a fuller calendar. Housekeeping is handled by staff, and pets are welcome, which can make the transition easier for someone bringing a longtime companion animal.

The setting is suburban and car dependent, with a walk score of 8 out of 100, so most errands and outings will involve a drive. The tradeoff is a quieter residential location roughly 3.8 miles from Biloxi’s city center, with Keesler Medical Center under two miles away. For families weighing convenience against calm, that proximity to a major hospital while sitting outside the busier parts of town is worth factoring into the decision. Visiting relatives will want to plan on driving, though the short hop to the city center keeps regular visits manageable.

Overview of Claiborne at Gulfport Highlands

In Gulfport, Mississippi, a 111-bed facility, Claiborne at Gulfport Highlands, operates two programs under one roof: assisted living at $4,100 per month and memory care at $6,150 per month. Both tiers are housed in one-bed and two-bed apartments ranging from 295 to 906 square feet. That setup shapes the resident mix and, consequently, the operational requirements.

The care stack is basic but present: rehabilitation services, respite care, nursing services on-site, therapy services in-house. Memory care residents receive specialized Alzheimer’s programming.

Dining happens three times daily in a restaurant-style setup. Activities include classes, social events, and structured social occasions. These are standard amenities at this price point: movie theater, bistro and bar, courtyard, transportation, concierge.

The Walk Score is 9. This is not a walkable neighborhood by any measure. Residents and visiting family depend entirely on cars.

The facility itself is moderately sized; 111 beds is neither boutique nor sprawling. It is a shared environment built for throughput, not personalized isolation. The two-tier pricing structure (AL vs. MC) suggests Claiborne is designed to manage residents across the continuum of cognitive and physical function under a single operational roof.

For families evaluating assisted living or memory care in this market, this is a stable, multi-program option at predictable pricing tiers.

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.
