Overview of Mississippi Memory Care
As if the gracious beauty and southern hospitality were not enough reason to retire in Mississippi, the state is home to the Memory Impairment and Neurodegenerative Dementia Research (MIND) Center at the University of Mississippi Medical School. MIND conducts cutting-edge research on the causes and treatments of Alzheimer’s and dementia. The State Department of Health holds very strict standards for Mississippi memory care communities. For example, residents can expect a minimum of three hours of nursing care per 24-hour period (based on resident census). In addition, a Licensed Practical Nurse or a Registered Nurse must be present on all shifts.Memory Care in Mississippi Defined
The goal of Mississippi memory care is to create a sense of community while respecting the individuality and privacy of residents. While independent living communities do offer 24- hour staffing, they do not provide the supportive services and specialized care that seniors with memory loss require. Mississippi memory care communities offer the services of caring staff members 24 hours a day, as well as specialized programs that help residents retain their current memories and skills, as well as develop new ones. The supportive services available can include help with personal hygiene, dressing, medication management and other activities of daily living.
