Mississippi’s low overall cost of living, low tax burden and relatively mild winters makes independent living in Mississippi quite attractive. Mississippi’s Gulf Coast is a big draw for tourists and retirees alike, thanks in large part to the beautiful scenery, year round fishing and readily available entertainment throughout the coast, including over 20 golf courses designed by PGA golfing greats Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and many more. Gulfport and Biloxi are two Gulf Coast Cities that are considered “Certified Retirement Cities” by the state’s tourism department. Mississippi also features countless small towns and major cities that offer attractive independent living for seniors looking forward to enjoy their golden years.
Mississippi independent living accommodations normally consist of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom lodging, usually in the form of an apartment, condominium or townhouse. In these communities, senior residents can come and go as they please. Some communities offer opportunities for organized activities and group dining, but these services vary from location to location. Many seniors who want to downsize from their existing homes often take the opportunity to transition to an independent living community, thanks largely to lower maintenance costs and smaller, more manageable living spaces. Unlike Assisted Living communities, Nursing Homes and Memory Care facilities, an independent living community allows seniors in good health to maintain their independent lifestyle.
