Forrest General Home Care

Forrest General Home Care, located at 1414 South 28th Avenue in Hattiesburg, serves Hattiesburg, Petal, Magee, and counties like Forrest, Lamar, Jones, Pearl River, and Perry, offering care in people's own homes or as part of their hospice program, and you'll find they handle a little bit of everything from helping with bathing, dressing, housework, and mobility to more hands-on nursing and therapy, not to mention physical therapy, speech pathology, occupational therapy, and social work, and they don't leave out the basics like meal prep, laundry, transportation, and medication help, all carried out by trained aides, often under a watchful 24-hour supervision and safety system that's built for seniors and others needing regular help. They offer both in-home care and hospice services, including the Forrest General Hospice - Picayune Office, and have assisted living for those who need help but also want to keep active and social, as you'll see with their movie nights, arts room, walking paths, garden, and community-sponsored activities, all designed to keep folks engaged and connected, while the dining room serves meals all day with special diets taken into account, and there's always someone around if you need anything with their 24-hour call system. They also offer help for veterans, provide pediatric care, and even have a specialized inpatient hospice. Forrest General Home Care's team creates care plans tailored to each person and prides itself on compassionate care, sticking with people through both home health care and end-of-life needs, and though there's a review system in place, right now no patient reviews are available, but agency reviews average 3.7 out of 5 based on three responses. The hospice care here gets an analytic quality score of 82 out of 100, which is higher than the national average, and they've kept their Medicare approval since 1979 for home health and since 1994 for hospice, and, having operated for many years as a nonprofit or government group, they're part of the State Hospice Organization and NAHC, serving a smaller daily group between 20 and 49 patients, which some folks might find means a bit more attention from staff. People who work here mention their powered pharmacy platform, RxLocal by PioneerRx, and pharmacy services run under Forrest General Hospital Home Care/Hospice, with claim features for prescriptions. They're ACHC accredited and have room and community amenities like furnished living spaces, a salon, parking and transportation, emergency alert systems, and move-in coordination, so you'll find most basics are covered including telephones and everyday items. The place does chores and dry cleaning, and lets residents pick from community and resident-run activities as well as offers group dining with diet accommodations, and if you need assistance with transfers or activities of daily living, they have that, all with the focus on keeping people in the comfort of their homes or in a homelike setting for as long as possible.
