Atwood Personal Care Home in Kosciusko, MS

4.5
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.

Castlewoods Place in Brandon, MS

4.8
The entire staff are so helpful with anything you or the residents need. The large room is very large. Lots of room. A great room for a couple. The small room is perfect for one person.
