The Blake at Township community was great, and we picked this community because our loved one had a Chihuahua and they allowed pets there. That was a really big plus.

The Orchard Continuing Care Retirement Community in Ridgeland, MS

The staff are incredibly professional and based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend The Orchard community to other families.

Atwood Personal Care Home in Kosciusko, MS

This community is clean and bright and the location is very close to our family so we can visit quite often. It also was the least expensive in the area. Right now we aren't sure what all activities they have, those are still pretty limited due to restrictions still in place.
