Brookdale Meridian is a premier senior living community that offers memory care in Haslett, Michigan. It provides personalized care and daily routines in a supportive environment. The community focuses on enhancing the quality of life for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia.
Located on Goodman Road East in Southaven, Mississippi, Senior Helpers provides both nursing and home care services, with Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto situated about 1.5 miles away. Owned by Jennifer Pope, the community also accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Licensed for 145 beds, it currently serves 128 residents.
Short-term rehabilitation is a key area of focus, as reflected in the average resident stay of 107 days, with many individuals being admitted for recovery before transitioning back home. Parkinson’s care, chronic disease management, post-surgical support, transitional care, memory care, end-of-life care, companionship, and assistance with daily living activities are among the services provided.
Care is delivered by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who collectively provide an average of four hours of nursing support per resident each day. Around-the-clock staffing is available, along with contracted physical and speech therapists who help residents work toward rehabilitation and discharge goals. Veterans and their families may also receive assistance in accessing available VA benefits.
The neighborhood surrounding the community has a walkability score of 46 out of 100, so most destinations are reached by car. However, nearby medical services and commercial areas along Goodman Road add convenience for residents and visiting families from Southaven, Greater Memphis, and DeSoto County. Resident and family councils also meet on a regular basis, offering opportunities to share feedback and participate in community life.
Overview of The Manor on Lawndale
This place is located at 2429 Lawndale Drive in Tupelo, Mississippi, and it is a place with 72 beds for assisted living and memory support that is owned by Kenneth A. Long. Because the area has a Walk Score of 0, meaning it is very car-dependent, people who live here and their family members who come to visit will need to plan on driving to get to their errands and doctor visits instead of walking.
There are games, crafts, exercise classes, musical fun, and parties that happen all throughout the month, which creates a set routine instead of having random things to do.
Even though some people in this home struggle with memory loss, they live in the same area and follow the same daily schedule as everyone else because the memory help happens right alongside the regular assisted living care. Nurses and nursing assistants who have special training are there to look after the building and the people living inside it all day and all night.
The Manor on Lawndale is a good choice for older people, such as those who have memory loss, if they need help with daily tasks and care all day and all night in a smaller Tupelo community that has planned, regular social activities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Mississippi
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Mississippi?
Assisted living in Mississippi supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
Does Mississippi Medicaid cover memory care?
Mississippi Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Mississippi) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
