Avonlea Assisted Living in Tupelo offers licensed Assisted Living care, and residents can also arrange short-term or respite stays when recovery time or caregiver relief is needed. The community is prepared to support adults managing diabetes, including monitoring and nutritional coordination, and a speech therapist is available for residents who need help with communication or swallowing issues.
On-site medical services add another level of security. Nurses oversee medication management, and staff provide incontinence and ambulatory assistance throughout the day. The community accepts residents with memory-related diagnoses and can transition care to hospice services if needs change. Occupational and physical therapists schedule sessions in the building, and a visiting podiatrist addresses foot and gait concerns, reducing the need for off-site appointments.
Apartments and common areas are designed for accessibility and convenience. Floor plans may include kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV access, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, and in some units a balcony, patio, or deck. Shared spaces feature outdoor sitting areas, raised garden beds, a central fireplace, and a piano or organ for informal gatherings. Parking is available for residents and visitors. Not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm details during a tour.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three meals daily, including options that meet low-sodium or no-sugar dietary guidelines. International dishes appear on the menu alongside familiar Southern fare, and guest meals can be arranged so family members can dine together. Meal service is included in the monthly rate, and staff coordinate closely with healthcare providers to align nutrition plans with individual care needs.
Residents can keep active with a swimming pool, fitness programs, and instructor-led yoga or chair yoga sessions. Social calendars include intergenerational programs, birthday celebrations, dances, live-music events, and organized outings in the Tupelo area. Indoors, the community maintains a library and computer lounge, an activity center for crafts or games, and space for clubs to meet. Raised garden beds and multiple outdoor seating areas allow residents to spend time outside when weather permits, and all activities are supervised by staff to match individual abilities and preferences.
