BeeHive Homes of Starkville offers assisted living with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Residents receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and toileting, and licensed staff handle medication management, routine health monitoring, and coordination with local physicians. Around-the-clock caregivers are on duty, and a nurse is available to review health changes, oversee care plans, and arrange outside services such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy when ordered by a doctor.
Beyond the direct medical support, the community provides fall-prevention programs, scheduled wellness checks, and transportation to off-site medical appointments. Caregivers document daily observations so changes in condition can be flagged quickly, and family members receive regular updates. The staff also assists with appointment scheduling, pharmacy refills, and coordination of laboratory or imaging services, aiming to minimize disruptions to residents’ routines.
Accommodations include private and companion suites equipped with individual climate controls, emergency call systems, and barrier-free bathrooms, although not all suites have every feature. Housekeeping, laundry service, basic cable, and maintenance are included, and residents may furnish rooms with personal items to create a familiar environment. Common areas such as a living room, activity space, and secure outdoor courtyard give residents additional places to spend time with visitors or participate in group programs.
Meals are prepared on site three times a day and served in a communal dining room, with snacks available between meals. Menus are developed to meet nutritional guidelines for older adults, and the kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered or preference-based modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, or soft-textured diets. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms can request tray service, and staff remain present during mealtimes to provide cueing or assistance for those who need help eating.
