The Harriet House sits in Sumrall, MS and is a licensed Personal Care Home that offers assisted living and memory care services. The founding team has over 30 years of experience in long-term care. The staff includes a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS), Registered Nurses, and Nurse Practitioners, so residents get weekly visits from a Nurse Practitioner and monthly care assessments by a Registered Nurse. Staff provide medication and chronic care management, and there's 24/7 professional care in a supportive, safe setting. Care is person-centered, meaning they listen to each resident's goals and preferences. Professionals focus on nourishing body, mind, and spirit with holistic care practices. Trained aides offer home care companionship and help with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, and reminders for medicine, and staff have added expertise in memory care, supporting those living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia.
Residents choose from private or semi-private rooms that are designed for comfort, safety, and easy accessibility, and folks have access to spacious living areas and pleasant outdoor spaces. The Harriet House offers three homemade meals a day, plus snacks and drinks whenever needed, and meals focus on meeting nutritional needs with quality ingredients. Housekeeping and laundry are routine, and a full-service beauty salon is available right on-site. Activity programs get planned by the Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and aim to meet the needs and interests of each person, with daily offerings that support the mind, body, and spirit. Residents can use the Wi-Fi and enjoy the convenience of transportation and parking options. The Harriet House also provides respite care for those who need short-term support or a peaceful retreat.
Surveys for The Harriet House come from local agencies like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services. State or local governments license the facility, and the latest status verifies all requirements are met. Medicare doesn't help pay for care services here unless the facility is specifically certified, and that's only if it gets noted. The facility doesn't provide acute hospital care, but offers affordable long-term support for seniors who want a community setting and help with daily routines. People living here find a warm, welcoming place where their needs get met, their independence is encouraged, and there's always someone to talk to or help out if necessary.
