Overview of Aldersgate Assisted Living

A faith-based operator runs Aldersgate Assisted Living, a 58-bed community offering both assisted living and independent living, on Poplar Springs Drive in Meridian, Mississippi. Aldersgate Personal Care, Inc. owns and operates the property, and residency starts at age 62. Car-dependent describes the surrounding area well; a Walk Score of 0 means most errands mean driving rather than walking.

Rehabilitation services, respite care, and a doctor on staff sit alongside round-the-clock staffing and emergency response systems, covering both short-term recovery needs and ongoing daily support. Several named programs run through the community as well: Green House, Bridge to Home, Bridge to Better, Memory Support, Senior Rx, and Meals on Wheels, plus an Affordable Housing track. Studio and cottage floor plans give residents two distinct living arrangements to choose from.

Weekly religious services anchor the calendar, alongside life enrichment gatherings, outings, and regular exercise programs, all consistent with a faith-based approach to daily life. Six days a week bring one included meal, and the front office runs Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM. Pets are welcome, so residents don’t have to give up a companion animal to move in.

Lauderdale County holds this address, roughly 7.8 miles out from the Meridian city center. Between the dual assisted and independent living structure, the faith-based programming, and the range of named support tracks, Aldersgate reads as a fit for older adults seeking daily structure and some independence, wrapped in a community shaped by shared religious life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Mississippi

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 41 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. 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.
