Brookdale Hattiesburg

Brookdale Hattiesburg is a senior living community that offers a range of care, from independent living and assisted living to skilled nursing, memory care, and continuing care services, so residents get the support they need as they age, and with the company's Service Care Plan, each person gets help with things like bathing, grooming, medication, and moving around, which makes life a bit easier for everyone, and around the campus, you'll find comfortable apartment-style homes with full kitchens, washer and dryer in each unit, emergency call systems, and cable TV, plus there's a mix of floor plans so people can choose what fits their needs best. The community has both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces like a media room, movie theater, meeting areas, raised gardening beds, and an outside patio garden, so there are places to relax, chat, or join an event, and the building includes features like fireplaces in common rooms, a piano and organ for music, a TV lounge, and free Wi-Fi throughout, with transportation, parking, and guest parking all available if visitors or errands come up. Staff is on site 24 hours a day every day, ready to help with emergencies or daily assistance, and there's an alert system that helps keep everyone safe, with respect for each person's privacy and independence, but always ready to step in when help is needed. For eating, there's restaurant-style dining with a professional chef who prepares a variety of meals, including international options and special diets-like vegan, kosher, low sodium, or low sugar-so almost everyone's needs are met, and communal dining, guest meals, and even a private dining room make it possible to eat with friends or family when they visit. Health services cover medication reminders, therapies such as physical therapy and rehabilitation, and special programs for memory care residents under the name Brookdale Hattiesburg II, plus hospice and respite care are available, so families have peace of mind if something changes. Residents get regular housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning services, and there are beautician and salon services on site, so everyone can stay comfortable and well-groomed. The activity schedule changes daily, with social, educational, religious, and entertainment events, outings, and games, plus fitness and wellness programs, music, arts and crafts, horticultural activities, and on- and off-site devotional services, so there's always a way to stay engaged or learn something new, and those who like pets will find the community allows them and even has special programs and help for veterans. Brookdale Hattiesburg focuses on letting everyone do as much as they can for themselves, but with care and staff always near by, so life stays as independent and pleasant as possible, with cheerful greetings and a homelike setting, meals, safe buildings, and opportunities to connect with others and be active, and all of this is included under one cost, so residents and families know what to expect from the start, and they're able to age in place with familiar people and surroundings as their needs change.

The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.

Brookdale's holistic Optimum Life® wellness approach balances six dimensions—Purposeful, Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, and Intellectual—implemented through signature programs including B-Fit (eight exercise class options), Brain Fit (mental fitness workouts), My Life Story (resident storytelling), EngagementPlus (interest-based connections), Growing Together (collaborative learning), and The Ageless Spirit (kindness and gratitude practices). The Embrace Family Partnership provides caregiver education and support for families of memory care residents.

The company's Brookdale HealthPlus® care coordination model, winner of the 2024 Argentum Best of the Best Award placing it among the top 1% of operators, is a technology-enabled healthcare service featuring dedicated RN Care Managers who proactively manage residents' health, coordinate care transitions, and help prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Communities using HealthPlus report 78% fewer urgent care visits, 36% fewer hospitalizations, and 63% more completed annual wellness visits. The Personal Solutions program delivers hygiene products, medications, and daily necessities directly to residents' doors with discreet packaging and monthly billing convenience.

Following a strategic divestiture of its home health and hospice operations to HCA Healthcare (completed December 2023), Brookdale now focuses exclusively on senior living operations while maintaining its position as the industry's largest operator, committed to its mission of enriching lives with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity.
