Overview of Wesley Manor

A theater named Tom Thumb tells you something about a place before you even walk in, and Wesley Manor has one, tucked into its amenity list alongside a chapel, a salon and spa, and a garden with walking paths. The nursing home itself sits at 246 Westover Drive in Hattiesburg, three stories, one- and two-bedroom units, starting at $3,709 a month.

Getting around outside the building takes a car. Walk Score comes in at 23, firmly car-dependent, so residents and visiting family will lean on transportation more than sidewalks here.

Clinically, the staffing breakdown covers the standard tiers: registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides, all contributing to daily resident care. Beyond nursing itself, the service list includes rehabilitation, respite care, short-term rehab, and round-the-clock staffing, with a specific skilled nursing and rehab track and spiritual care available for residents who want it.

There’s a connection to the wider community too, one that goes past the property line: residents can take part in educational and entertainment programs through nearby University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey University, a detail that separates Wesley Manor from a purely self-contained facility.

Wesley Manor ultimately offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation care wrapped in genuine on-site amenities and a real link to local academic life, in a stretch of Hattiesburg where a car matters more than a sidewalk.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Hattiesburg, MS

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Mississippi?

Assisted living in Mississippi is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities.

Does Mississippi Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Mississippi Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

How do I choose the right nursing home in Hattiesburg, MS?

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.
