Overview of The Grove

Michael Bradshaw owns and operates The Grove, an 86-bed nursing home located on Pecan Drive in Columbia, Mississippi. The business office works with several insurance and financial setups, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. For visitors, the surrounding neighborhood is moderately pedestrian-friendly, allowing family members to take care of a few simple errands on foot, though most trips through the area will require a vehicle.

Stays at this facility average roughly 318 days, which points to a daily workload that balances permanent residential care with short-term post-hospital therapy. To manage the clinical schedule, the 24-hour staffing model delivers an average of 5 hours and 5 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day. This time is distributed among registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides who handle daily medical checks and direct personal care.

State records track the property’s compliance history through regular licensing evaluations. Inspection files verify that the administration manages its clinical routines and building operations in line with statutory rules, managing tracking protocols effectively to keep the facility’s cumulative citations-per-inspection rate at zero.

Older adults have access to structured rehabilitation services, physical therapy loops, and spacious resident rooms. The campus features outdoor activity spaces and a restaurant-style dining area that provides daily meals planned around standard nutritional guidelines. The day-to-day schedule pairs these clinical programs and meal services with standard housekeeping chores, laundry assistance, and open visiting hours for family members.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 36 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.
