The facility is not Medicare or Medicaid certified through CMS, but it does accept Mississippi Medicaid waivers (Elderly & Disabled, Assisted Living, Independent Living programs) and Medicare Savings Program coverage for those who qualify. State licensing from Mississippi’s Department of Health, not federal inspection, governs the facility.
Downtown Hattiesburg is 1 mile away. Hattiesburg Clinic, the nearest hospital, sits 1.79 miles out. Walk Score 46 means some neighborhood errands are possible on foot, most require transport. The area is bike-friendly with accessible parks, while ample parking is available for residents with personal vehicles.
Units come in private and semi-private configurations; many include balconies or patios. Transportation services and fitness/recreation programming round out the operational envelope.
What distinguishes the population here: residents who need nursing, assisted, or independent living support but prefer apartment-style housing over institutional settings. Mississippi’s waiver programs fund care for eligible Medicaid residents. Private-pay residents access the community directly. For state Medicaid waiver recipients seeking apartment-based senior living in Hattiesburg, Federation Towers represents a structural alternative to traditional care models.
