Laurelwood Community Living Center

Laurelwood Community Living Center sits about 2 miles outside of Laurel, Mississippi, and has a nursing home care program among other types of support for older adults. The facility received a 1-star nursing home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, though the wider community has a community rating of 6.5 out of 10, ranking it fourth highest in Laurel. Laurelwood offers several room choices, like private suites, studio layouts, semi-private, and companion rooms, and the place's been recently renovated so the rooms look clean and updated. The nursing staff and rehabilitation teams stay on site around the clock, with registered nurses, therapists, and certified nursing assistants there to help residents get the care that fits their needs, which covers everything from basic support to long-term and memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Laurelwood Community Living Center provides care for people who need skilled nursing, work with people recovering after a hospital stay, and offer respite if someone needs short-term help. There's a state-of-the-art therapy gym with physical, occupational, and speech therapy options. People can also get care for diabetes, incontinence, and medication management. Other support covers home healthcare, hospice, adult day services, and referrals for families in need of help caring for loved ones. Residents get meals, have access to an outdoor patio, in-room televisions and WiFi, and vending machines, along with indoor and outdoor activity areas where they gather or take part in structured activities or devotional times. Staff members focus on personal growth, a warm and social atmosphere, and individualized care plans for each resident, built on dignity and comfort. Laurelwood Community Living Center welcomes seniors who want independent living or assisted living, as well as those who need a nursing home or a dedicated memory care unit, and because the team is used to helping older adults who're frail or need a lot of attention, they work to make everyone feel as much at home as possible.
