Overview of Madison County Nursing Home

Madison County Nursing Home is a nursing facility that strongly focuses on rehabilitation. The 95-bed home is owned by Robert Bilbrew and administered by Daniel Logan. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, providing families with several pathways to cover both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care.

The home is close to full at 96% occupancy. Most residents stay an average of 299 days, reflecting a mix of post-acute recovery and ongoing nursing needs.

Clinically, the facility focuses on rehabilitation services and short-term recovery. It’s a great option for patients recovering from surgery, a fall, stroke, or other acute health event. Daily nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 10 minutes per resident, while nursing aides provide about 3 hours and 36 minutes of hands-on care each day, indicating consistent attention to daily needs.

The home also offers a dedicated Alzheimer’s Unit and Memory Care Services for residents with cognitive decline. They are supported by rehabilitation therapies that address physical recovery and day-to-day functioning. These programs, including the Healthplex initiative, provide structure and therapeutic engagement beyond basic care.

Residents can enjoy daily activities tailored to their interests and abilities, such as gardening, religious services, arts and crafts, musical entertainment, and outings. There’s also a fitness center for residents working on recovery or maintaining strength. The home’s location has a walkability score of 67 out of 100, so some errands are accessible on foot, while other trips may require a car.

Overview of Wesley Manor

A theater named Tom Thumb tells you something about a place before you even walk in, and Wesley Manor has one, tucked into its amenity list alongside a chapel, a salon and spa, and a garden with walking paths. The nursing home itself sits at 246 Westover Drive in Hattiesburg, three stories, one- and two-bedroom units, starting at $3,709 a month.

Getting around outside the building takes a car. Walk Score comes in at 23, firmly car-dependent, so residents and visiting family will lean on transportation more than sidewalks here.

Clinically, the staffing breakdown covers the standard tiers: registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides, all contributing to daily resident care. Beyond nursing itself, the service list includes rehabilitation, respite care, short-term rehab, and round-the-clock staffing, with a specific skilled nursing and rehab track and spiritual care available for residents who want it.

There’s a connection to the wider community too, one that goes past the property line: residents can take part in educational and entertainment programs through nearby University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey University, a detail that separates Wesley Manor from a purely self-contained facility.

Wesley Manor ultimately offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation care wrapped in genuine on-site amenities and a real link to local academic life, in a stretch of Hattiesburg where a car matters more than a sidewalk.

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.
