The Claiborne at Hattiesburg offers two levels of residential care—Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need a brief recovery period or whose family caregivers are away can be accommodated through respite or short-term stays. Diabetes management is available, and a speech therapist is on call for residents who need help with communication or swallowing issues.
The community is fully secured, an essential feature for people living with cognitive decline. On-site clinical support includes memory care programming, incontinence and ambulatory care, medication management, and scheduled visits from occupational and physical therapists as well as a podiatrist. These services are designed to reduce the need for outside appointments and keep residents’ health monitoring coordinated under one roof.
Living spaces range from studio to larger apartment layouts. Selected residences are pet friendly, and many are equipped with wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and individual climate control. Some units feature outdoor areas such as balconies, terraces, or patios, while shared spaces include a central fireplace, a piano or organ, and a deck overlooking landscaped grounds. Parking and general handicap accessibility are provided. Not all accommodations have every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific availability.
Meals are prepared by an in-house professional chef, and three daily meals are included. Restaurant-style dining is standard, with an all-day dining option that lets residents eat on their own schedules. Guests can purchase meals, making it easier for families to share time together without leaving the property.
Amenities and scheduled services cover a wide range of interests. Residents can join clubs and social communities, use the library and computer lounge, or participate in activities in the center. Social outings, birthday parties, dances, happy hours, live music, and other educational or recreational events fill the calendar. A swimming pool, indoor walking paths, and raised garden beds support physical activity, while reminiscence, sensory-based, and intergenerational programs focus on emotional and cognitive engagement.
