Overview of Federation Towers-Hattiesburg

At 812 Arnold Street in Hattiesburg, Federation Towers operates as a 3-story apartment community offering nursing home, assisted living, and independent living placements. The building itself is the operational model: apartment units, not residential care beds, and this matters for how residents experience daily life. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Mississippi

What is independent living?

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 38 independent living communities in Mississippi. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community 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 independent living communities 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.
