Windham House of Hattiesburg

Windham House of Hattiesburg sits in West Hattiesburg as a retirement community with both assisted living and skilled nursing services, and with 60 certified beds, the place handles short-term rehab after surgery or hospital stays, long-term care for people needing ongoing help, and offers programs for memory care, wound care, hospice, and palliative care in a homelike setting where folks can recover, stay a while, or get the support they need day to day. You'll see they do physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help regain strength or adjust after medical events, and staff will help residents with regular things like bathing, eating, getting dressed, moving about, and also managing medications, diabetic care, incontinence, and non-ambulatory needs, plus laundry and housekeeping come standard so folks don't have to worry about those chores. There's always healthcare staff on hand, and you get meal services that focus on nutrition, though the place has had some deficiencies reported including issues with their nutrition and dietary services and resident assessment, so it's good to keep that in mind, especially since the latest inspection in November 2024 found seven deficiencies, including one infection-related, but they're recognized for care with awards like Best of Senior Living and the All-Star award for resident satisfaction, which says something about how people feel staying there. The management is handled by Providence Care, LLC since 2010 and Regional Care LLC since 2014, the Beebe Family is affiliated, and the nurse hours per resident each day are around 3.61, although there's a pretty high nurse turnover rate at about 49%, so the faces might change from time to time. Residents get a choice of on-site activities to keep the mind, body, and spirit active, like group gatherings, offsite trips, common rooms to socialize, and spiritual devotionals and religious services, all meant to help everyone stay engaged and feel at home. Folks get individualized care plans with regular assessments, and the staff really aims to be supportive, compassionate, and focused on each person's well-being, whether someone's there just for a break with respite care or they're staying longer for recovery or more permanent care. The community prides itself on offering a nurturing spot that values healing and a sense of home, and the amenities are designed so that seniors can live as independently as possible while also getting the help and attention they need. It's had a middle-of-the-road rating of 3.0 from four reviews, so feedback is mixed, and some families do seem content with their services, especially for activities and the supportive approach to recovery, but others have pointed out issues from inspection reports, so it's always wise to look at all the facts before deciding.
