Southerncare Biloxi sits on Woolmarket Road in Biloxi and stands as a for-profit, Medicare-certified hospice program that's been serving since 1997 and usually has more than 125 patients each day, which makes it a large community for this area. While some folks think of Southerncare mostly as a hospice, it also offers assisted living and memory care, so older adults who need help with daily activities like bathing and dressing can find support here, and they've got medication management and 24-hour supervision, too. The staff cares for people with complex health needs, using a team of nurses, aides, and specialists to look after residents and help manage symptoms, pain, and comfort, with most caregivers certified and most people receiving care in their own homes. Southerncare Biloxi does not offer faith-based options, pediatric services, or participation in programs for veterans, and there's no inpatient facility or special awards, but the place does hold accreditation with ACHC and is not a member of any major hospice organizations.
Dining here meets many needs, since the kitchen prepares different meals for allergies and diets like diabetes, and residents can enjoy their food in a communal dining room or have meal service brought to their rooms if needed. The rooms come fully furnished and some have kitchenettes, with housekeeping, linen, and laundry included so folks don't have to worry about those chores, and the place has cable, WiFi, and phone lines for easy connection to loved ones. Southerncare Biloxi offers daily community-sponsored activities, movie nights, an arts room, a barber-salon onsite, pretty walking paths, and gardens, plus transportation and parking when medical appointments or errands come up, and the building includes safety features like an emergency alert system and move-in help. Multilingual staff members (at least speaking English) work there, making things easier for residents and families who need simple communication.
While Southerncare doesn't have big awards or special outside memberships, it does offer four levels of hospice care, including comfort and palliative services, with a focus on keeping residents as comfortable and supported as possible during end-of-life care, and grief support resources are available for families, though there aren't official community bereavement programs. The hospice operation supports Harrison, Jackson, Hancock, George, and Pearl River counties, serving both urban and nearby rural areas, and the hospice analytics quality ranking, sitting at 88 out of 100, stays above the national average, showing good attention to care and safety. So, at Southerncare Biloxi, residents and families find sensible support, useful features, and a straightforward team ready to help with the real needs of daily living and hospice care when the time comes.
