Overview of The Pinnacle of Southaven

Operated by MFF Oxford, The Pinnacle of Southaven is an assisted living community at 108 Clarington Dr in Desoto County, Mississippi. It’s about 1.5 miles south of downtown Southaven and within walking distance of Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto. The home offers three complementary levels of care in a one-story building: assisted living, memory care, and respite or short-term care. With a choice of private or semi-private rooms, the 65-bed home caters to occupants with varying care needs and budgets.

A practical advantage for families navigating transitions is respite care. Short-term stays let a spouse or primary caregiver rest without asking the resident to relocate permanently. Those stays include real medical support from trained staff instead of basic lodging alone. This flexibility means families can plan without committing to a full move immediately. All week, occupants join activities and programs tailored to maintain engagement and life quality. The Pinnacle of Southaven offers transportation services for medical appointments and family visits, alongside fitness and recreational options for those wanting to stay active. It sits in a quiet area just outside town, offering a calmer setting while remaining convenient to local services and amenities. With a Walk Score of 37, the neighborhood is somewhat walkable for quick local errands, but a car is required for most trips.

For occupants and families who value a smaller, multi-level care home where assisted living and memory care coexist in one place, The Pinnacle of Southaven’s integrated model provides continuity when care needs change.

Overview of The Goldton at Southaven

Set on Star Landing Road E in Southaven, Mississippi, The Goldton at Southaven combines assisted living and memory care under one roof. The 101-bed community sits in Desoto County, owned by Shaven 1818, and the surrounding area is car-dependent, carrying a Walk Score of 12. Getting around by foot has real limits here, so most residents and visiting family will rely on a car for errands.

The location has one clear advantage: proximity to major medical care. Southaven sits near Memphis, and Methodist Healthcare Memphis Hospitals and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are both within reach for families managing specialized treatment alongside daily support. Inside the community, licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provide coverage around the clock, and respite care is available for families who need short-term relief from caregiving duties. A veterans benefits program rounds out the offerings for residents who qualify.

Between the memory care option, continuous nursing coverage, and a veterans benefits program, this community fits families weighing both structured daily support and specialized cognitive care, particularly those who want quick access to regional hospital systems if a resident’s needs become more complex.
