Overview of The Claiborne at Hattiesburg Independent Living The Claiborne at Hattiesburg Independent Living is a senior living community at 300 Whispering Pines Boulevard in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, within Forrest County and roughly four miles from the city center. It offers a continuum of care that spans assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so residents can find the right level of support and stay in a familiar place if their needs change over time. The community is operated by Sabra Southern Operations VI, LLC. With 80 beds across a three-story building, it sits among the larger communities in this part of the state.
Housing runs from one-bedroom to three-bedroom units, with floor plans ranging from about 350 to just over 1,568 square feet. That spread gives residents and their families real flexibility, whether the priority is a compact, easy-to-manage space or more room for a couple or for visiting family. Pets are welcome, which matters to many older adults for whom a companion animal is part of feeling at home.
Daily life here leans toward on-site recreation rather than a bare list of features. Residents have access to a pool, walking trails on the grounds, a bistro that offers an alternative to the main dining room, and a theater for entertainment without leaving the property. Transportation services help cover trips that do require going off-site, which is useful given the surrounding area.
That surrounding area is best suited to residents who expect to rely on the community’s own amenities. With a Walk Score of 6, the neighborhood is car-dependent, and most errands beyond the campus will mean a drive or a scheduled ride. For families weighing the setting, the trade-off is a self-contained community with its own recreation and dining rather than a walkable commercial district just outside the door.
